Trolley Tracks

I think there's something really poetic in the way tracks interact throughout the city. Intersections where two lines cross create great steel curves and shapes, like unintended works of art. While there's lots of tracks in that are no longer frequented by their trolleys, the ones in these pictures (taken along Lancaster Ave. and Baltimore Ave.) are still in service.

The only downside - getting stuck while biking!

Formerly known as "Canton," I still need to get ahold of an SF-200 auto slide feeder for my scanner. These photos are part of a series:
