A new South Lake Union Streetcar train rolls down Seattle's Westlake Avenue North in its first low-speed test, at 5 to 10 mph.
In the background is the image of former Sonics forward Detlef Shrempf, painted on the vacant Athletic Supply building. "Everything's working," said Steve Friend, a city engineer.
Testing will be underway for the next eight weeks, and officials warn people to watch out for crossing trains. Service begins in mid-December on the 1.3-mile, $51 million line, from the Westin Hotel to the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
