I'm not able to get out for sunsets like I used to, so was happy to stumble upon some nice colors in the neighborhood last night. From Bracket Street in the West End.

Off the Rails

A bit of rail from an old trolley line visible on Spring Street. In addition to safe and efficient transportation around the peninsula, trolleys also used to connect cities and towns all around Maine.There's an immense amount of info and photos of the Portland trolley system (the Portland Railroad) here: https://narcissus1912.blogspot.com/2018/10/portland-railroad-history-of-public.html.

Park Avenue View

A view from yesterday morning down Park Avenue, the same stretch in which a person on a bicycle was tragically killed in a collision with a vehicle hours later. Last month the Bicycle Coalition of Maine reported that "Maine has seen a higher yearly increase in people being hit and killed by cars than almost every other state." Clearly much work remains to create a safer and more equitable transportation system for all people.
