Viewing Album:  Tempoary Track Realignment at St.Denis, Md.
 
By:David Larrabee
Dates:11/19/2006 - 11/19/2006
Album Info:CSX has been in the process of moving the Halethorpe Interlocking plant about a mile west to St. Denis, Md. Signal bridges were installed nearly a year ago As part of the move all the track between the new signals is being overhauled. Part of this work involves taking each track out of service while wooden ties are removed and concrete one are put in their place and while new turnouts are put in place. This series of photos taken Sunday morning Nov 19th 2006 follows part of one realignment and related rail traffic thru St. Denis during the work. /DL
