This is the main street out in front of our
mission office. It has been blocked off for a couple of weeks now due to work on the road to the right. They have taken out the railroad tracks and are restoring the road.
This is what it has been like for awhile. We got new curbing that is cut stone which is hand set. The whole thing has been repaved now and it is looking good. I hope that in a few days they will be done with it and things will return to normal.
The railroad tracks were actually for an electric trolley that has outlived its
usefulness. This cool truck with a rotating platform came along and cut down all of the overhead wires associated with the trolley.
This is a closer view of the worker cutting the electric wires. We all hoped he had the power shut off when he attempted this.
This picture was taken seconds before he cut this cable and the whole thing snapped back at him and almost took off his head. But it just knocked him down a little and kept on working. That is one tough Russian.
