The area was lit well due to the amount of runners and quite a few trams were within a foot or two of the course.. They made no attempt to hide them so it was easy to notice the dirt/wheels/axels gone on some.. Had it not been down pouring id have photographed it but didn't want to risk my phone getting waterlogged as my actual camera had already done and stopped working :(

Sorry if this is old news, but thought I'd share just in case.
I took another look at this tonight. They seem to have filled in the hole with more facade including a window or two. It looked like they were almost done so I expect this construction wall to come down in the next week. This is really confusing to say the least as I was under the assumption that it was going to be bulldozed come the new year.

I bet they don't touch the front until the last minute. No point in having more walls up if the work needs to happen in the back too.

I thought there were pictures on this thread of the trams being hauled away on the back of an 18 wheeler?

Here are some new photos of the former tram tour from the Marathon on 1/11. From what I could see, nearly everything was still in place, and had not been significantly altered since the tram tour closed.

This is looking south in the costuming tunnel. I thought it was particularly interesting that there were still people working in the workshops on the west side of the building. The rooms on the east side of the tunnel had their lights dimmed, but were still full of costumes

This is a close-up of the room between the costume storage and the scenic shop, which had sculptures of Anna & Elsa's heads during the final weeks of the tram tour. Elsa was nowhere to be found, but Anna was still there in the darkened room

South of the tunnel, there were no noticeable changes (though after 23 miles, I'm not sure I was the best judge of details). The Earful Tower topiary was still out

The course ran along the former loading and unloading docks, and parallel to the boneyard. From what I could tell, everything was still in the boneyard, but I don't remember exactly what was there when the attraction was open

I was unable to get a photo of it while running, but the Hannah Montana chicken coop was still in the queue area, and could be seen poking up over the trees
