I see lots of progress at Jamaica Station on the new south end platform. It looks done. One odd thing: the track numbers are posted on the columns now and they're not 9 and 10 as I'd expect but 11 and 12. WTF?

They will be used for freight, express and equipment trains.

From what's written, only 11 track will be in use for trains. 12 track still has more work to be done.

These trains still haven't run. They've been canceled every night so far this week. If it means anything, these trains have been added to the TIMACS system (system used to track trains, on time performance, etc...) beginning 2/18. So it would appear 2/18 would be the start date for the new platform for passenger use.
