THE OLD TRAMS OF YOKOHAMA 1960S by R.L.Huffstutter

The street cars of Yokohama will forever remain in my mind; they were a fun way to get around. Because there was 360 yen to the dollar when I was in Japan, many of us used taxis more than street cars, but they were forever a presence in my mind. I recall one night, near the bund, when I consciously reminded myself that at some time in the far future I would recall the spark, the sound, the streetcars of Yokohama.
