@northlanderdude They're what the Germans would call "daughter cars" -- the design evolved from the Frankfurt 1967 cars that Edmonton, Calgary and San Diego ordered copies of in the period 1978-81 and later. Ironically, while there were US and Canadian candidates back then to be North America's Standard Light Rail Vehicle, this car became the de facto standard that other makes had to be compared with.
Sounds really nice and quiet too. The one here in Minneapolis squeaks...A LOT as it passes by.
