There is nothing of Friday's festivities in the Post Gazette's website but it was front page news in the print edition.   Obviously the want readers to pay for the good stuff and I don't blame them.

If you look at page A3 of the Saturday Post Gazette, look at the guy with the camera at the far right ....  yup, yours truly accidentally got in front of the Post Gazette photographer.   

It was noisy.   You really could not easily hear the politicians yaking for the roughly 1000+ people there on Friday.    But the front page of the Post Gazette's print edition has a nice picture of the first station north of the Allegheny River.   

By the way, there is a film strip of the extension in the Post Gazette's web site.
