This has been something a few in the area have been wanting. Now it looks like it will be going forward.

Well anything new on this subject?

Rails now relaid across the new bridge. Should be nearing completion soon.

I do agree that it is the right choice. The crossing is very busy, and is only going to get busier. It is a pain to negotiate right now.

OMG...They are laying ballast in Napoleon...

I know it's a little after the fact. Isn't that derailment the same spot the MAW 16 almost went on its side a few years ago?

Just out of curiosity, what does a "darn union" have to do with it?

Y@, that is a very nice photo of the signals. Nice work.

That could very well be. I know I haven't seen one since around that time. I think around the time I shot this picture to be truthful.

Here's your rundown of customers, west to east. LaFarge - Cecil Johns Manville - Defiance Jewell Grain - Okolona (Owned by same people who own the elevator in Jewell) Advanced Drainage Systems - Napoleon Oldcastle - Napoleon Interstate Cold Storage - Napoleon Cloverleaf Cold Storage - Napoleon Rail...

Just a way to get this back in the New Post list for people to take a look at it again.

It's pronounce Frank-fert.

But that other city is actually prononuced Lewllvull by those that live there.
