Hi Folks,
I'm sorry I can't find the email, but I know one of you mentioned that Ellsworth Avenue was currently scraped, for re-paving, and that the streetcar tracks are evident.   Yes, indeed.   Attached are some photos I took on Sunday.     While walking along Ellsworth, it was interesting to see the looks on  a couple young (maybe twenty-something) 10-speed bikers' faces as they rode by.   They stopped, pointed at the tracks that curved from Ellsworth onto Neville.  I couldn't hear their conversation, except for the word "rails."     I walked across to them -perhaps to give a little transit history - but they peddled away before they saw me.

The photo I have labeled, "ellsworth looking twd layover area,"    I believe this is where the cars were stored by Pittsburgh Railways for rush hours, for baseball crowds leaving Forbes Field.

Matt
