Final Weld Made As Streetcar Track Nears Completion

The Cincinnati Streetcar reached a milestone Friday as it nears completion. The final weld piecing two rails together was made Friday afternoon at the corner of Main St. and Second St.

The first streetcar is expected to arrive later this month from a factory in New York.  All five should be here by February.  The first car will begin testing on the rails next month.
