Rolling though Interbay Yard, even the mighty Amtrak Cascades has to slow down for our work zone. Through Sound Transit and BNSF funding, a new 2nd main track and speed improvements are being constructed though Interbay to double track the yard. Former CP4 has been demolished to make way for CP Magnolia, a #24 universal crossover behind me. This will end up being the first train to use the new crossover and continue south on the new main line. At this state, a 1' lift of WSDOT-spec gravel has been place, and is being compacted to 95% RC as per BNSF specification. Once we are complete with the the subgrade, we'll hand the site over to the client and they can build the track as they please. Taken with permission.
