Workers within a couple of hundred feet of Adelphia Rd. Should cross shortly, unless they bag it due to conditions. Wouldn't surprise me, temp dropping and a nasty wind to be working in.
Once they clear Southard Ave. what will be interesting is if they not only curve left to clear the existing track to connect compass northbound on the Southern, but if they also go straight and clear past the JCP&L yard to make a compass southbound connection to the Southern. Monday perhaps.
Can anyone estimate how many carloads of ballast this job will take? Where will we see them first (Brown's yard) ?
If its close...contractors typically use hi-rail dump trucks. or if they are laying a lot of ballast before the ties...they will put that down with dump trucks anyway.
