I believe the rolling stock of New Orleans is much like these and fulfils that same tourist mission. It won't prevent the city from expanding their network, but would they give up on their ancient cars for some recent, longer and probably faster? Newer lines should operate some modern vehicles though.
Ummmm - We do have a subway system in San Francisco, which they are currently expanding. We actually have 2 subway systems. One that is just in the city and a 2nd commuter line. The vintage cars are for the character,
