Streetcar to the future
My buddy, Keith Jones the director of Central Arkansas Transit, sends this item, along with a cool photo.
On this cool morning we made it to the South Pole...the southern-most pole on Phase 2, which happens to be at the Clinton Library/Heifer International Platform! We towed the car to test the wheel/track interface, and the track and switches were in good alignment. We will try the electric overhead tomorrow or Friday. More testing of the track, grounding continuity, safety clearances etc will occur next week. Write in Feb 23 & 24 for Grand Opening festivities. Betty will be announcing the details of all that in a few days.
