CWR has been installed from Pierce Switch to the small Gill Hall Road
over-pass. Including install across the new Peters Creek Span.
8/26/16 A second Ballast Train pulled off the main and down the branch & over the span.
Crew started spreading heavy ballast form the Peters
Creek Bridge(East-side) to/thru the branch big-cut, which did not receive any
new ballast from the initial drop.
Looks like a third train of ballast will be needed from Pierce
to the Peters Creek Bridge West-approach.
At 11:30 AM. WE # 6382 (Green/White ) and WE 6982 (Grey-unit)
with about 20? or so, now empty WE ballast cars were still in the big-cut.
Just missed this loaded train going over the new bridge, and could not
stay to see the mty's return trip. |
