> Actual work being done near First St. Cannot determine what it is.


 


They quickly removed half of one crossover and replaced it with a section
of straight track.  It appears the actual track work has begun, and
that it will proceed in spurts as the line remains operational.


Looking the other direction - behind the railcam - as I type this they
are starting to cut one of the old powerhouse stacks into sections about
30 ft long.  The stack is rigged to one crane which is holding its
weight while a second crane holds a cage with two workers high above the
shops.  They are using a cutting torch and slowly going around the
circumference of the stack.  Very much like a tree service felling a
tree in a crowded neighborhood.
