Erik- Thanks for the information! Interesting that the BNSF is trying to get the taxpayers to build an additional bridge and fill (that is where the fun will begin!!) for MOW equipment. Bet they wouldn’t spend big bucks to dump fill in that troublesome area and build a new, separate bridge just so they don’t have to inconvenience themselves running rail mounted MOW stuff to the next siding as they have been doing since 1864!!!

I have seen a video taken from a Dinky on uTube going both ways and wonder what the details of the project are. I am not normally interested in any BN/BNSF/Metra events but as this is taking place in the area that gave the CB&Q fits with sinking roadbed during the original line construction of the two track grade and when they added the third track I was wondering why they are doing what looks like a bridge replacement and if there have been any problems with the fill for the shoo fly or the new construction. _._,_._,_
