In inevitable-but-still-a-bummer news, one of Atlanta's $4 million streetcars is "out of service indefinitely" after colliding with an illegally parked floral delivery van on Auburn Avenue. The 80-foot streetcar attempted to squeeze past the vehicle, which was slightly over the white line, but as it turns out, 96,000 pound trains are not great at subtlety. The owner of the florist van said it was clear "somebody needs to be doing some research on better training, obviously." The cost of repairing the mangled streetcar is not yet known. [WSBTV]
