Viewing Album:  St. Denis, MD--Saturday morning trains, 12/30/2006
 
By:George C Johnson
Dates:12/30/2006 - 12/30/2006
Album Info:Spent some time at St. Denis on Saturday, December 30, after having been absent for about a month. Track work continues, and there was a two-man crew welding together a new high-speed switch while I was there (see: "St. Denis, MD--High speed switch assembly"). Trains were passing through the work zone too, although eastbounds had to stop to let westbounds through--good photo opportunities. [GCJ]

Hot pants...
Title:  Hot pants...
Description:  Assembling a new high-speed switch at St. Denis (additional photos in: "St. Denis, MD--High-speed switch assembly"). I would never weld this way, but--of course--I'm not a professional. Hope his pants are fire-proof. Shame on any of you potty-minded individuals who thought the sparks were caused by something else.
