Where I live (Philadelphia, PA). Septa have replaced some with buses but we still have some. There are 2 trolley car routes right up the street from where I live.
I am not familiar with other states/cities who have them.

I think that Toronto, Canada is the only place in the Americas which still has the trolley system using overhead wires, and rails down the middle of the street. Modern trams are used a a few U.S. cities, like San Francisco and San Diego, but with no overhead cable wires!
