A Gradall is brought in to level and prepare the area for assembly of the new switches.
Gravel is dumped and smoothed out to create a level base for the work to come.
Next, rails are placed on the gravel to support the ties.
Then the ties are placed on the base rails, and the new switch rails are positioned on the ties.
