Thanks for the tip Mark - I'll have to check out the Tokyo Setagaya Line sometime soon.

It's not exactly a street car per se, but it stops for automobile traffic and snakes through interesting neighborhoods starting from Sangenjaya in Tokyo to Shimo-Takaido. Although most of its carriages are modern, I believe it still runs some carriages that have wooden floors. http://www.setagaya-line.com/ (Japanese) Don’t forget the Tokyu Setagaya Line.
