Behind the western terminus is this parcel, planned as a Transportation Plaza. The line will pass through at a 45 degree angle and head into downtown.

A typical double track station, with the ramp designed to accommodate handicapped accessibility.

A switch manufactured by Edgar Allen of Sheffield, England is connected to a passing siding.

The line passes in front of the attractive Garrison Seaport. Overhead wire installation is about to begin.

A station along Channelside Drive with a cruise ship in the background. Further cruise terminals are being built to the left of this view.

The line will cross a CSX freight track here. CSX demanded an expensive liability policy for this crossing, but settled for a full-time flagman.

On 8th Avenue, a major stop will be at the new Centro Ybor commercial development.

Car 163, an original Tampa Birney, is being completely restored by volunteers for display and special operation on the line.
