New Trolley Line!

The transit agency has opened their new trolley line (and complete street rebuilding, thus cranking the per-mile cost up to $60 million dollars a mile so the people who haven't abandoned Interstate Ave for I5 can ride without enjoying the car-eating potholes that used to be there.) Instead of riding the trolleys, we drove along the line in our $20,000 gas-electric baby stroller (we had already ridden a trolley along the line before it opened) and I got a few pictures of opening day:


We caught up to the first trolley at Russell Street.


Passed a second one north of the Fremont bridge


Then spent most of the rest of the way up to Paul Bunyan trying to get a picture of a #5 bus. I thought I got a good picture of one as we tried to turn around, but it hid on the other side of a line pole just as I snapped the picture.
