TSC: what's left

There used to be two (or possibly three?) other sets of train tracks running through here, unused long enough for a forest to grow over it (this last one is (not very, but still) active) - the tree in the first note is from november. Not long after that, they cut down all the trees and started clearing everything out; and then one snowy afternoon in january I watched from the window as they used a ginormous magnet to pull up all the old tracks.

This is all part of a project to extend one of the subway lines; there's also a bike-path extension going on which will run through the same space, so ultimately there will be new train tracks and new trees...
