Historic? It’s new!

[@rideurbanrail]

I know! ) It still says historic on it. I assume they just restored the old line and kept "historic" on it to emphasize it was running here retrospectively.

@@rideurbanrail They didn’t restore anything. Those plaques are just to show the history of Tempe in general. But the line is completely new. What they did restore was the light rail, it used to be a very popular bus route called Red Line. They took it and made it a light rail. The light rail has been in the planning stages since the 70s.

Good to know. At least there is something historic about it )
