J Group: Forum Members Posts: 15, Visits: 42	Hello all, We're excited to sneak a peek at these new streetcars featuring composite floors: https://www.tmj4.com/longform/first-look-the-milwaukee-streetcars-coming-together-in-pennsylvania Another article on Urban Milwaukee (https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2017/10/26/eyes-on-milwaukee-see-streetcar-floors-made-locally/) explains the advantages of the composite materials: "Milwaukee Composites makes patented phenolic composite floors for mass transit vehicles. The advanced plastic floor can stand up to the beating of thousands of commuters everyday, while being fireproof and moisture resistant. Firm president and founder Jeff Kober notes that their patented flooring weighs up to 900 pounds less than their competitors, and saves customers like New York City subway-operator Metropolitan Transit Authority over $1 million annually through reduced energy costs.
