Track work for upgrading Wood Interlocking. Its part of ESA.

Mostly everything you see going on in that area is now related to the ESA.

Definition of ESA?

"Track work for upgrading Wood Interlocking. Its part of ESA."
Oh won't that be fun.

upgrading wood? are they actually going to put switches in?

Yep. No in-tie switch machines, either!

If they can't get the line into GCT even near useable w/ customer condition, then they should not even be dreaming about adding a switch or more to Wood interlocking, that would be one hell of a blunder. the only logistical reason to install the switch is to get MOW trains and track work trains to EAS.
And that's only if they cannot get it there already.

Is any of that track going into the 63rd.st. tubes eletrified yet or is the 3rd rail still decoration at this time.
