Description: Blackpool 48, a 1928 double-deck streetcar (tram) from England, operating on the Willamette Shore Trolley heritage streetcar line, between Portland, Oregon and Lake Oswego, Oregon, in 1996. It is pictured southbound in the Johns Landing neighborhood of Portland. The ex-Southern Pacific Railroad track does not have overhead trolley wires, so the electricity to power the streetcar comes from a generator it is towing on a trailer. Car 48 was in use on the WST line in fall 1987 and then again from November 1995 until 2006 (but not in regular use after 2003). In 2006, it was moved to the Oregon Electric Railway Museum, in Brooks, Oregon.
