glad one of the local news stations felt this was worthy of sending a helicopter to report on. it was hovering over my building and made my dogs go nuts. i thought something serious happened. SMH.
My guess it was the traffic helicopter

which was already airborne. It's been common practice for as long as I can recall for news stations that contract with MetroTraffic/SmartRoutes, etc to divert them from filming traffic to covering news stories from the air.
Now, whether a derailed out of service streetcar justifies a "Live from the sky" shot is another matter.

It looks like a Type 7. Also looks like it split a switch. That's back in the yard; and they can operate CC as a stub terminal (see Monday, Marathon).

Green Line trolley slips off the tracks, people now have to watch their backs.
Ok, not the most relevant rhyme, but I didn't have time...Adam, if you can think of a better one, please do.
