Light Rail Line Construction in Red Hook

We have been hard at work constructing the first part of our new light rail line in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn.  Phase I of the project was constructed on private land along the Red Hook Waterfront (this phase has been completed).  Phase II of the project extends the streetcar trackage from along the waterfront onto public New York City streets.  Phase II is the first on street rail construction in NYC in over 70 years.  Below are pictures of the projects progress.
