The tram behind it is the one I missed for this pic.... I could see my friend driving away from me in it...

I ❤ Prague's ubiquitous trams. This one chugging uphill in Hradčany.
FGV-TRAM d’Alacant tram at Altea near Benidorm, Spain. In the background is the famous church of Altea, Església de Santa Maria del Consol d'Altea.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the light rail system envisioned will pencil out, due to the estimated high cost of USD$4 billion.
Which is really a shame because 1) It could have been useful for commuters, because the main freeway, Highway 1, is frequently jammed, 2) It would have been an electric trainset to reduce carbon emissions, and 3) Just look at the Coast Futura pictures, they're really pretty.
p.s. The green structure in the background is the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk amusement park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Cruz_Beach_Boardwalk
It's the Logger's Revenge flume ride https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9agrhP0QgH8

I took a picture of this tram this morning.
This is a series of trams "type Edison" produced in Italy in the period 1927-1930
They are in active use on a number of lines in Milan, and while beautiful, they are slow, hardly accessible and noisy... But still.

It's a Stadler FLIRT (Fast Light Innovative Regional Train, German: Flinker Leichter Innovativer Regional-Triebzug) made by Stadler Rail of Switzerland.
