Thinking back to 1962-63 I remember riding, at speed, on 2nd Ave on
what was very new, very loud concrete track. Not the last major job,
I remember (I think) a long stretch on Fifth Avenue being relaid in
63 or 64.<br>

I cannot remember when it was done but my memory was that there was a Second Avenue rail project either near the very tail end of PRC's existence or the very beginning of PAT … probably the last rail job in the city for streetcars. If the memory isn't flawed, it was t-rail set in concrete. fws

showing. Browns Hill Road had concrete-set track in it from the top of the
hill at Hazelwood Avenue to the bridge.
