The Overhead Wire points out these great examples of streetcars whose tracks are laid into grass rather than ugly concrete. He shows the T-Third as a particularly ugly example of a concrete rail bed. The closest we come to those pretty green trains here in SF is the section of the J-Church that runs down the San Jose Avenue traffic sewer, where the tracks lie on gravel and ties rather than in a concrete bed.

It seems like such a simple idea, don't put the train in a see of concrete. But whatever reason engineers or designers in the US just don't seem to think that far outside of the box. Maybe one day.
