trolley car
Rail-bound city transport
A trolley car is an electric streetcar that runs on rails and draws power from an overhead wire through a trolley pole.
Common in American cities from the late 1800s through the mid-20th century, most systems were dismantled as buses and automobiles became dominant: The old trolley car lines have been converted to bike paths.
A few cities retain or have restored trolley service.
