Work continues apace at Cameron Run on the RF&P to replace the old two-track bridge with a new one having wider clearance between track centers. As of January 29, huge pilings had been driven into the ground--apparently about 45' deep apiece--and welders were preparing them for the framework that will go across their tops. When completed, the new bridge will be assembled on the framework, a crane will left out the old bridge, and the new bridge will be slid horizontally into place. Then, presumably, the pilings will be removed.
Fyi, my previous report on the Cameron Run bridge was dated December 2, and can be found below.
