June 11, 2007: Majour construction caught me by surprise as I saw a crane at CP Dorf so I drove over to see what was going on, here they are lifting crossover sections and laying them down. Sorry I don't have more footage, but this is cool, curse 2 GB memmory cards (they fill up so darn quick). Also notible, and caught me by surprise, is the local that passes, with a Dash-9 running long hood forward, now that looks nice, why can't they do that all the time?
That's "Panel" track. When installing a switch it's a lot easier both maint wise and speed to just have the thing pre made and put it down like that.

Seems like it would be quicker to do it the way it was done 100 years ago.

Well, thats still pretty cool, i missed last year, they re did most of the stretch of tracks through here, but your lucky, the only long hood forward i see is off the local GP38-2. Still ok though, Oh yeah, i got up a video from last night, check if you want.
