| Description: |
The tamper-aligner working underneath the Bowest Bridge that is part of the Great Allegheny Passage. People familiar with this location will notice that the grade crossing has been removed. A temporary one was put in about 200 feet away. I checked back again on July 16 and a new paved crossing was put in here, right under the bridge. This work on the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad is being done by Delta Railroad Contractors. |
