Trackwork

A few views of the ongoing track reconstruction of the Lackawanna's main along Ridge Row.

Playhouse Square

A few views of Playhouse Square from last month. Quite the fun time we had revisiting a few of the more exotic spots inside, those will have to wait for another day.

This one's a bit blurry, back in 1972, I don't know how many times I heard that no one is ever going to go down there for shows anymore. Clearly that wasn't true, although we all knew the opposite, it was hard trying to convince the rest of the city that Ray knew what he was talking about.

On the left construction has just started on "The Lumen" a new 34 story apartment building. Not only do people want to come down here, a lot of people want to live here as well.

Old Harrison Avenue Bridge

Not much is left of the old bridge, just a couple piers and rubble.

Erie Street Cemetery

A few views of Erie Street Cemetery from last Month.

SEPTA 206

SEPTA 206 was built by Brill as Philadelphia & Western 206 in 1931. This "bullet" car was later converted to brine use, and was ultimately retired in 1995. It is currently sitting outside the Electric City Trolley Museum in Scranton. These views are from a couple weeks ago.

Line of Hoppers
