Particularly between M and J, I noticed distinct cracks in the pavement, running parallel to the direction of the street, made prominent by streaks of asphalt patch being wet from the rain. I remembered reading somewhere that the streetcar once ran through East Sac along J, and then turned south somewhere in the Fab Forties. As I approached the stop sign, the crack lines actually curved in the direction of westbound J, disappearing under a more recently paved J Street. Pretty cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348645704807833440.post-30475786614530159172008-04-24T13:45:00.000-07:002008-04-24T13:45:00.000-07:00Hi William, I know this post is "aging" but I'm re...Hi William, I know this post is "aging" but I'm researching a house near Alhambra (31st) and I Street and I'm wondering... would that have been served by the J Street Line streetcar? The house was built in 1930.

Some were dug up for the scrap value of the metal, especially during the war, but much of it is still in there. When RT was running the LRV line up Seventh Street, there was buried rail from the old McKinley Park line still in the street. The rails were taken up already on 8th Street, but the ties were still in the ground.wburghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15811402557076044374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348645704807833440.post-39296260049850113032007-09-08T01:53:00.000-07:002007-09-08T01:53:00.000-07:00When they were doing work on J Street a couple yea...When they were doing work on J Street a couple years ago (around J and 33rd), they uncovered the old railcar lines. I don't think they took them out because for a while you could see them passing over the big hole in the ground.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
