Back when I was a kid in the Chicago suburbs I can remember taking the EL-line the final part of the way to a Cubs ballgame...The experience was comparable to the diesel Metra lines that dad commuted to work on (and once in a while took me with). I know I've been on the raised, aboveground and underground EL-lines in Chicago possibly more than once...IIRC there is some underground footpath between a couple of different stations on the EL-line (ISTR walking it and my folks telling me we were below the lake or river).
I've seen the overhead wires for trollies in Tampa Fl, and in The Wright Bro's hometown (can't remember the name).
