Vintage Trolley Service
The Silver Line uses three meticulously restored vintage vehicles that make stops along the downtown loop. The Presidents Conference Committee (PCC) Streetcars 529 and 530 of the 1940s alternate with the very first iconic red San Diego Trolley, the 1001 U2, which began service in 1981.
