    They sure did take the no smoking rule seriously with a 50 pound fine for doing so. I'm guessing, but that 1928 fine must equate to high hundreds of present day dollars.

    The portals for both the trains and trams haven't been completed at this point.

    Interesting that they put box girders under the Train/Tram tracks. Overall weight must have been a consideration if they didn't just pour one big concrete slab? But of course they didn't have pre-stressed concrete then.
