Forgive me for posting the following photos. I have a boyish love for trains.
This morning and afternoon I walked along C Street to and from the City College trolley station. I simply had to pause to watch as workers tore up a section of old asphalt and rails running down the center of the street, then later as the workers carefully dumped and leveled new track ballast. I asked one friendly guy who seemed to be supervising if the rails were old and he replied that was the case!
According to some signs, work on this section of trolley tracks will be completed this weekend.
As you can see in the final photo, I wasn’t the only one intrigued by all the activity!

I live in downtown San Diego and love to walk around with my camera! You can follow Cool San Diego Sights via Facebook or Twitter!

If you’re curious, the next time you see something like this you can find more information about the rails stamped on their sides: the weight (pounds per yard), date of production and the mill where it was done. You’ll also see some other coding concerning the rail’s profile (cross-section), but I’m not hip to that.
