Track Department and many pieces of equipment working South on the CN Holly Sub, now just North of Linden around the areas of Hogan Road and the detector at 56.2. Work includes tie replacement, new ballest, and surfacing. They have been storing all the equipment in the siding at Linden Road and my assumption is they will either be in or very close to Linden by Thursday August 26th.
