[PRCo] Second avenue tracks

[TEP]

Whoops my message got snatched--got to remember not to use any HTLM.
------------------------------

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.

If the memory isn't flawed, it was t-rail set in concrete.   fws
