Streetcar Maintenance Facility

Or as the former Mayor Mallory refereed to it, C.O.A.S.T. the Center Of Advanced Streetcar Technology. A little bit of an inside joke for diehard streetcar supporters and a poke at its biggest opponents. Advanced maybe, but it was mostly a straight forward machine shop with some adaptions for a large vehicle like a streetcar. Almost everything is modular on the streetcar, when routine maintenance is needed the part is pulled off and replaced so the unit can quickly return to service and technicians aren't rushed while completing repairs.

A model of a PCC, the first standardized streetcar and also the last to run in Cincinnati.
The trucks don't have an axle allowing for the low floor design of our streetcar. They also don't swivle, they are fixed to the body and the articulation of the streetcar body allows it to take curves.
