[edit] Merger proposal

I am proposing that South lake union trolley be merged into this article; it is about the same streetcar line but under the original name (before the SLUT incident). TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:49, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

There you go. Merger complete. Nothing in the other article that is salvageable. However, this article should include a sentence or two about the SLUT moniker. (Personally, I think Seattle should embrace the name, it'd be an excellent tourist draw and help pay for the line). --Bobblehead ^(rants) 02:23, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. I found this page after reading about the SLUT acronym in the newspaper. I tried to mention a few details along with a reference. Bendono 04:41, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Operation Status

I do not think that the operator of the South Lake Union Streetcar is Link Light Rail. Link Light Rail is not an operator, but a transit system, the operator of the Link light rail is Sound Transit. As for the SLUS, I do not think Sound Transit is its operator. HManat23 16:08, 20 October 2007 (EST)

[edit] Image

I posted this very recent photo of two out of the three SLU Streetcars at the maintenance facility. I will update the image as the article progresses.Kgrr 14:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
