I've been curious how rail crossings are being rebuilt. One must be quick, and I was insufficiently so. Guessing that not more than a couple of hours needed to break the old track out and lay new into place. Track is assembled, and to dimension, as it arrives on the job site. Then a day or so for a contractor to do pavement replacement. - Meanwhile, I'd wanted a pic of Florida East Coast's new rigs for some time. They have been changing over their main line GE locomotives to LNG. Tank in the middle contains sufficient fuel for Miami to Jacksonville and back. Saddle tanks still carry diesel b/c the engine remains compression ignition.
