Nice series of photos. Saw the same thing going on locally at a crossing. They sure get it done in a hurry, not like state employees.
We had no choice. The County gave us a road closure from 7:00 PM Friday until 6:00 AM Monday Morning. Worked 8 hours on Friday getting ready and then the initial shutdown, and then two 12 hour days. The ties were pre-plated and we welded the rails prior to starting, so the track went together pretty quickly. It's only about 150 feet of track total, so that helped. But it was definitely crunch time.
