Buried trolley tracks salvaged to aid war program. Recovering buried trolley track to provide scrap for the war effort is an operation handily performed by such devices as the one shown here. Pulled by a tractor, the apparatus disengages the track from the pavement and slides it back on the iron sawhorses. This photo shows the breaking up of the pavement as the old track is unearthed.
