Moving the track around our Upper Yard

To help facilitate some excavation around our restoration building, some track had to be moved out of the way. Since this was a possibility, the track was constructed in a panel fashion to make moving them easier. Here are some pictures of the movement of two of the panels using our Army Lorain crane...


Up in the air! The first panel is lifted. The second panel to be moved is in the foreground.


Placing the first panel out of the way.


The second panel is lifted.


The panel is swung over siding #6. This siding will be staying where it is.


Almost there.


Touchdown! The second panel is stacked and awaits eventual re-installation.
