Brighton Park, Chicago Project

[CP9302]

for anyone who wants to see how the 1:1 guys replace 10 crossovers in 51 hours, this is a really cool presentation. It is a rather large PDF, so dial uppers beware.

Very Nice photography, and a beautiful interlocking originally! The slabs of concrete under the diamonds are a VERY smart Idea!

Yeah, I've never seen them use concrete slabs as a sub base for diamonds before. I wonder how they have it anchored to prevent shifting and settling? It would be a perfect use of post-tensioned slabs as long as they can get a good surface to anchor the slab to.
