About time there is a thread for tram/streetcar/GLR systems.  This one is from my CJ Fairview showing the GLR system in Claiborne:

This was taken early in the city's history just after I constructed the tram system.  The area's more developed now.

Claiborne's tram system also extends into its neighbor Stratford:

Also from the Fairview CJ the GLR in Wildwood Island:

I'll throw in a couple photos.

This is the most complex part of the system...And yes, it is a very small system.

Trying out the new Tram-in-Street. I'd say it looks pretty darn good!

Hopefully this thread takes off, looking forward to more photos!

Wow that looks really good great job

Nice stuff!!

[Benedict 3,119]

Stunning pic, Joe90 - I hope you start a CJ at some point, I'd love to see more of your city building talents.

[Larks2242 251]

That almosts looks like your there very realistic!!

My contribution ...

I feel sorry for those drivers that are going to have to cross the avenue crossroads in the first picture!

And i get bored at level crossings!!

I also feel sorry for the tram driver that will have to attempt to get through the traffic jam on the second picture!!!

hehehe .. ever been to Vienna? 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

These are looking good, I especially like the European one! I would also like to see some El-Rail on Road (if anyone uses them).

This is as close as you're likely to get. I'm still building in that region, but haven't got the time to spend on a proper cj

Ooooooh... These tram systems look spectacular! The one in the french city looks SO realistic. Anyway, in the first set of pictures, in pictures 3 and 4, what set on the STEX are those, anyway? They look really good in that neighborhood!!!

@citiesxlfan42

If you are talking about the trams, I believe its the VDK tram mod where you can select from like 18 different trams.

BTW: suggestion for username: Phuture

Here is our contribution

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

That is really confusing! One question, why make the north-south road go into tram on road, when it will end at a T intersection 2 tiles down?

[k808j 0]

At the time I got frustrated with the tram pieces and just kept the layout. I am going to put parks in the spaces by the rails. I would have enjoyed having GLR in Ave instead of transitioning to Tram in road but due to the fact you cannot

make a GLR in Ave with rail, I have to improvise.

[thepokemaniac 18]

Looks great! I'll post mine after the construction is done!

Its usually best to avoid level rail crossings, particularly with avenues or busy roads. I normally take the avenue/road over the rails, and the GLR underneath using subway connections. It also gives you an unobtrusive way to link your GLR and subway networks

[bigthing 35]

That's a pretty nice city you got going there

[GlobexCo 33]

@ joe 90

It seems that you have terrain problems with GLR underpass.

[k808j 0]

@GlobexCo

That can be fixed by turning on the fire hazard data and cutting it off.

@ Joe 90

True statement but I love complexity (We are crazy like that!)

[asteconn 9]

Awesome trams everyone.

I've only ever used GLR seriously once. It worked out reasonably well. Remind me to post some photos when I'm done with my Cardiff-clone.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

has anyone go some el-rail over road networks like in chicago? If so, can you please post it?

[Larks2242 251]

Wow very good job joe

[dragonsign 8]

[k808j 0]

Excellent, the Historic Tram station fits just right for that section of the city

[SomeRandomAmerican 5]

Looks great, I never was a serious tram builder, but I might get into it now.

While we're on the tram subject, I tried installing that VDK tram pack and got a rolling brown box. Running with Vista. Any ideas?

[dutchneworleanian 2]

nice work here, i need to introduce the GLR into my cities asap.
