The
Construction is progressing nicely in Delray Beach, the canopy
structure is hung on the east platform, the east stairwell tower
has a roof, glass has been installed on both towers, gettin closer
and closer everyday to a better station in Delray, all we need now
is a new set of rails, dual crossovers, signals and we'll be that
much closer! |

Doors
have been installed on the west side, but no overhang roof yet,
one interesting tihing to me is that the new platform was poured
about six inches lower than the exsisting platform, this makes me
wonder if the exsisting platform will be torn out and replaced all
together, sort of wasteful IMHO |

Land
is being cleared for the new East Platform, this is one of the few
locations where the tracks that will be used for both platforms is
already in place, the track that will serve the East Platform
(Track 1) is currently a CSX freight lead, you know the CSX yard
crews have to be thrilled with haveing a platform on either side
of their workspace |

The
new main is down, and the old canopy is gone, it looks like from
the drawings Main 1 (Main 2 is in the foreground) will go where
the old platform was, and the new platform will go where the
siding is, this is unconfirmed, but thats the way it looks. |

After
looking at the plans for the station, this is one of the few
