    Cool! Thanks for sharing. It's fascinating to see a work blitz like this. I haven't seen one of that scope...although the Tower 55 project was definitely that or larger, I never made it down to watch the action. But I have seen some bridge replacements and grade crossing replacements...similar concentration of bright orange worker bees.

    Very interesting, particularly given the almost total absence of the modern track laying equipment. Two things that really caught my eye was how much of the work looked like installing sectional track, and the vertical deflection induced in some of the installs.

    Ah. Good. The link works!

    I'd love to watch such an operation in person. Never have caught anything close to this size in progress.

    That's a big switch.
