  • is this for commuter light rail or passenger (amtrak) or frieght, lines, i see concrete lines?

  • it is for standard freight and amtrak passenger trains.

    The ties are concrete, there was a drainage problem in that section. Although the replacement of track the whole length of the city has continued to be the use of concrete ties instead of the normal wood ties.

  • that was really a good set of videos. How long did it take them to do all that work?

  • The full 3 day memorial weekend. It is the biggest operation most of the track crew have worked on in several years.
