[PRCo] First Harmony Car Enters Pittsburg

[John Swindler]

FTA is still spending big bucks.  Charlotte is getting some for light rail extension to Univ. North Carolina and an east-west streetcar line.  Something seems to be going on in Cincinnati, St. Louis and Kenosha, but I just don't follow anymore as in years past.  
 
Likewise maybe Minneapolis - line to St.Paul.  Might also want to check New Orleans, Tucson, San Francisco central subway, and Los Angeles Pasadena extension.  Also saw a mention about Norfolk extension to Virginia Beach, but might still be in talking/planning stage.  Atlanta and Miami???  Again, I don't follow as in year's past.  
 
Here's a picture of the blank wall in the North Shore extension tunnel for a right turn towards East St./I-279.  The current north shore alignment curves to left thru vehicle.  The blank wall to right is for future extension.
