As usual, our friend Chuck Amstein has sent along some great views of the action on Saturday. We'll start with the stills, then list links to the videos he has posted on YouTube. Most of these probably don't require much explanation. As always, thanks, Chuck!

  1. Looks like 3142 is on track that is about to be paved, and with Trolley bus wire overhead... Where is this?

  2. That's by the Electric Park waiting shelter, at the east end of Central Ave. Plans have changed, so that section has been "about to be paved" for a long time!
