This 1.3 mile (2.1 km) streetcar line runs on an L-shaped route from Lake Union to downtown Seattle on standard gauge track at 750 Volts from overhead. As the acronym spelled SLUT, understandably it was quickly changed from a Train to a Streetcar (trolley or tram would likewise be no good) when it commenced in December 2007, although locals still call it the Slut :-)
Although it doesn't go very far, businesses in the area are supportive of it, these include Amazon.com -
