On the Tier
Title:  On the Tier
Description:  The XWB train has pulled off the Lehigh Line and is now fully on the Tier. The groundman has closed up the switches-its all hand throw-and will get a taxi up to the head end. Meanwhile, the train poses in front of Ted Clarks, a landmark for photos here for many years, and still in business as I write this.
