These are freight tracks embedded in the street, not trolley tracks. They are standard gauge, whereas all trolley tracks in Philly are broad gauge. Another clue that these are freight tracks and not trolley tracks is the switch: the point is missing, but if this were trolley tracks, there would be no switch point on this side; only on the other side of the track. (See note above.)
Taken on the 10xx block of Noble Street, Philadelphia.

USS Yorktown (CV-10) Aircraft Carrier
Introduced in 1954, the S-2 Tracker was designed to find, follow and if necessary kill enemy submarines. Spanning three decades, the primary purpose of the S-2 was to be a thorn in the side of Soviet submarines. Originally designated the S-2F-1, it didn't take long for e Tracker crews to come up with the nickname STOOF (as in S-2-F).
A fixture on Essex class carriers like USS Yorktown, the S-2 expanded sub hunting to the open ocean in ways land based brethren like the P-3 Orion could not. The S-2 could turn into an offensive weapon, armed with a combination of torpedoes, rockets, mines and depth charges.
My sister-in-law went on a little field trip last night around our local downtown and practiced again shooting in manual.
It was a tad bit cold, but fun - I'm anxious to go again now.
The only thing I did to this set of photos was run hard light on them.
Turkey Point Nuclear Power Plant--While kneeling next to a camera trap placed by biologists so Joe Wasilewski could check it for use, we noticed many tracks made by a large American crocodile deep in the mud. Notice the tail drag on the right side of the image, and the claw marks near the bottom.
Piccadilly single track figure of eight tinplate roadway with traffic lights. Although this is marked 'Foreign' I suspect it is made in Germany, and I have seen a suggestion that it is by Technofix, an export version of their no. 239 – any further information very welcome. 'Provisional Patent 8502/36'. The width of the roadway is similar to the Tippco Reichsautobahn and the Marx systems.
