Unexpected

Recent road construction on Albert St. in Regina has turned up some old trolley car rails.
The north bound lane was finshed over a week ago and was opened to traffic.
This lane was stripped of it's ashpalt only to reveal these old rails.
It has shut the road work down as they try and size up the amount of extra work it's going to take.
I think the rails date back to the 1920's.

There's some history there Mike...and a few more tax dollars to 'repair' things.

Maybe they'll find Jimmy Hoffa next... LOL :-) Why do they have to figure out how much more work it will take - just pick up the rails and get on with it...

Odd that they had no idea they were there.
