    Platemaker,

    Can you overlay this map onto one of your google maps?

    Here is the Platemaker map. It has nearly the same route as above only on an actual city map.

    How many streetcars are a part of this system?

    Especially if we are considering a spoke system which would require a streetcar to travel the length of one spoke, then return to the hub before traveling the line of another spoke.

    But maybe I'm envisioning this all wrong. But regardless, it still helps to realize how many actual vehicles would be a part of this system.

    Well Portland's is 4 miles and they usually run 7 streetcars at a time about 1/2 a mile apart at 6-12 minute intervals.

    So if we ran a similar schedule at 6 miles it would be about 12 streetcars.
