[Lee]:
I tend to think of "Trolley" as a street-level transport on a rail or track,
like "Street car" and a "Tram" or "Tramway" runs above street level on light
rail or cable.  In New York City, there's a tram that goes from City proper
to Roosevelt Island; it's a cable system, I believe.  It got stuck once and
really caused a to-do with rescuing passengers.
