Here's an interesting page on the history of streetcars of El Paso; recall, until fairly recent times, PCC's operated on an international route to Jaurez, Mexico........

As the original "San Diego Trolley" articulated units were sold for further service in South America, I'm including the link to this photo page, which also includes vintage photos of the city's old streetcar system.
Interestingly, during WW2, a number of "Eastern" cars were sold to San Diego to handle the heavy wartime traffic; some of these were ex-TARS units, while others originally ran in Wilkes-Barre, PA...........

Here's an interesting history (as well as information on rolling stock and operations) of Lima, Peru's Metro; here, the trains use overhead catenary instead of third rail........
