Actually you're right, those trains are actually old Chicago commuter trains they brought back 4 years ago to bring people to football games. The city use to have a developed inter-urban and main line trains though....

Not heritage in the conventional sense.

Those aren't the cable cars in San Fran. They're the Market Street cars that are "heritage" on the MUNI system.

Kimberley, a South African town has the only African heritage tram. The original tram service closed in 1947, and the heritage service opened in 1985.
