The Fourth Avenue district of Tucson still has a running trolley car system. I don't know where it goes, since I have only walked past it, but its quite picturesque.
According to a comment from hotdamy2k on the Flickr page for this:
Right now it runs from the University Main Gate, down University to 4th, and now through the rebuilt underpass into downtown. The tracks are supposed to go all the way to the Rio Nuevo development, but that's gotten to be a really sore point around here...Rio No Va, as they say.
The trolley on 4th has actually only been in operation for a bit over fourteen years. The original trolley system shut down in 1931 and went down Stone, not 4th.
