One Of The New Roosevelt Island Tram Cabins Waiting To Be Put In Service
Despite being tucked away in a wooden crate, one of the two new Roosevelt Island Tram Cabins found it’s way to Roosevelt Island late last night. Roosevelt Island resident and photographer Austin Moore was there to greet our new Tram friend.

Earlier this morning the new Tram Cabin (yet to be named- hopefully we can come up with something other than #1 and #2) was moved to the work yard in Southtown under wraps 
waiting for it’s unveiling. 
The wrapping came off and voila – a beautiful new sleek tram cabin

The interiors were roomy and spacious with seating benches 
overhead arm railings (though no straps hanging down) and floor to ceiling poles to hold on from, 
two video monitors 
and a cool looking tram operators station.
