See the article from the Sacramento Bee. Also this article, "United Streetcar contracts trickle down in Portland" from the Portland Daily Journal of Commerce, about United Streetcar, the division of Oregon Iron Works that is building new streetcars, based on the Skoda/Inekon design already used in Portland, Tacoma, and Seattle.
