  • 03/22/2023 Montour, Ia. Finally the day of the track 2 bridge replacement. Another minute later on arrival and I would have missed the view of the old CNW bridge on the crane! The lunda Construction crew apparently had an early start that morning. There was a lot going on at once that day and I spent nearly 12 hours in Montour. A hand full of trains went by with slow orders throughout the day. The track 1 bridge will also be replaced sometime in early April.

    Cutting off driven in beams, replacing the part they cut off with a concrete prefab piece and then bolting it and welding it to the driven cut beams. Interesting . Holy crap, they are prefabricating the rails with ties and everything like model railroading minus the bedding. It's certainly much less back breaking than it used to be but these guys do hard work. In the weather none the less. they are very important to how we get our products and how we ship anything inland aside of by water and rails compete with the river boats also. There are railways along almost every river and most notable sized creeks in the USA.

    I don't know how long the prep work took but they knocked out this part amazingly fast in my opinion! Obviously not this crew's first rodeo. 😊😊😊😊

    Its called a trestle in railroading not a bridge!

  • @garymiller5937

    Can you imagine how hard it is to get an exact measurement for something like this? Even a temperature fluctuation could make a big difference due to expansion or contraction. I'm guessing. 😊

  • @garymiller5937

    And an even longer eastbound! Good trains this morning. If I was one of the construction crew I'd just as soon UP didn't run trains by while excavation was going on right beside the tracks. 😮 😊😊😊❤❤❤

    Penn Dot needs to hire these for training in our state where a bridge like that would take two years, and need repaired in three.

    People don't understand how much skill the crane operator has to lay that section in as smooth as he did. Nice coverage.
