(erielack) Back to the Future at Bridge 60

Well, sort of.  The once much complicated interlocking at Bridge 60 will get
upgraded this year.

Yes Keith, I see on the list that they will be installing 6 remote
controlled switches on Bridge 60, which I thought was interesting.  I guess
the two switches on the wye connecting with CP would be 2 of those 6 remote
machines. Not sure where the other 4 would be located.

 

Last week when I was up at Steamtown yard watching DL action, I noticed
fresh wood stakes and survey markings for what looked like new trackage
between the DL main and the Steamtown Mall building.  They also have a lot
of ties on existing track white marked for replacement.
