BTW, that light rail train you have in Austin operated by Capitol Metro, that is really an articulated, double-ended rail bus. Rail buses run on tracks just like the old streetcars did and light rail vehicles do, but rail buses ran on gasoline engines and nowdays diesel engines. Light rail vehicles and streetcars picked up their power and still do from an overhead wire.
