I visited Lowell Junction on Monday the 26th of September. Crews are assembling sections of a #20 turnout for the PAR/MBTA connection. An area around the crossing at Lowell Connector road has been graded for a new hut on the northeast corner.
In addition, I have learned that two #24 turnouts are to be installed at Wilmington Junction. To make room for these turnouts, the radio tower will be removed and two new 60 foot wooden poles with antennas on top will be installed, one in the vicinity of Ash Street in Reading.
This info was described in MBTA contract G65CN01 but I now have learned that contract has been cancelled as of September 16, 2016. Any one have updated information?
