Not exactly trains but they do run on rails, called subway surface cars here. 40th St is one of two locations that the trolleys go underground, Once they go under they remain underground until the return trip. All cars are Kawasaki Type K LRV cars that I find uninteresting but no one asked my opinion before the purchase.

Philadelphia does have two separate subway lines beside this light rail system.

This portal was opened in 1955 after 30 years of plans, talk and WWII.

I used to work close to an underpass with a large sign warning drivers of the exact height limitation, and every year some professional driver would get his rig wedged under it.
