Of note, the Walker Ave Bridge project begins on Monday - the bridge will be removed, the road will be lowered, and the rail will be raised to form an at-grade crossing. Estimated completion is early July. C&M will be landlocked in the not-too-distant future. Other arrangements have been made to serve Standard via an alternative site for the duration of the track closure.kd_1014 wrote:CPMY 7014 must be at St. Mary's right now due to their frequency popping up on my scanner at Fuller Jct

Tree removal begins today. Bridge removal won't be until the first week in April. There's a gas main on the bridge that cannot be taken out of service until late March.

Michigan Shore is stopped SB at the swing bridge. Looks like 2019 and about 20 cars.

AFAIK there will be gates and LEDs. RDD likely knows more of the specifics but I'll leave that for him.kd_1014 wrote:Do you know what type of crossings they'll put up?
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible.
