History of the London Underground Tube Maps from 1889 to the present. 1932 was the year they moved to Harry Beck's schematic depiction, which became the system's trademark. And here is The Real Underground Morphing Map, an interactive animation that switches you between Beck's map, the modern-day map of the lines in central London, and a geographically accurate depiction of routes and stations.

You can see and ride old streetcars at many locations around the US, including the Fort Smith Trolley Museum in Arkansas, Western Railway Museum, east of Fairfield, California, the Market Street Railway in San Francisco, the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine, the National Streetcar Museum in Lowell, Massachusetts, the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum near Washington, Pa., and the National Capital Trolley Museum in Colesville, Md.
