Railfan Pictures of the Week - 08/11/2013
SEPTA NHSL Viaduct Norristown and Bridgeport PA August 2 2013 |
It's four weeks into the Schuylkill River Viaduct project and work is progressing. A few pieces of equipment can be found in the middle of the span most days ... |
for good reason as the track work on the Norristown side has been completely stripped down to the deck with a new concrete base poured. |
On the Bridgeport side, the safety railings have been removed and the walkway deck was next, first unbolted from the structure and loaded onto a truck on the bridge ... |
then handed off to a Pettibone which stacked them neatly in piles to be picked up by another truck. There is also a staging area on the Norristown side under the bridge near the river. |
