Virginia’s first modern light rail vehicle.

Norfolk is starting to take delivery of its light rail vehicles. Norfolk’s light rail line will be the first in Virginia since the closure of the last pre-war streetcars. It will go 7.4 miles through downtown Norfolk to the Virginia Beach city line. Construction is about half finished, with revenue service scheduled to begin next year.
