Trolley Tracks

author: serlingrod : Philadelphia, PA

I think there's something really poetic in the way trolley 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 Philly 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!
