Just got back from a bike ride here in Linden before work. Track Department and equipment is now through Linden Road with new ties, surface and alignment work completed, and are at Ridley Road in Linden as I type this. Will be interesting to see how far South they get today, but I would think someone could get some real nice photo opportunities right along Silver Lake. I would think they would make it that far today. There is a crossing at Silver Lake leading to the Ponemah Lakeside Lodge (Restaurant) and the Lake Ponemah Marina. (Lake Ponemah is on the North side of the track and Silver Lake on the South side). Anyway, if someone were on the North side of the track looking south, good photo opportunity there with track equipment and Silver Lake in the background. Nice shots in Fenton and also in Holly too when they make it that far.

All track equipment is still being stored in the siding at Linden Road. This used to be a passing track actually, but now just a short siding. My assumption is as they get closer to Holly, they will begin storing all the equipment overnight in the passing siding there in Holly. Train meets do occur there, but the train count is down enough to allow for overnight track equipment storage I would think. I actually don't know how far South the trackwork is going, will have to find out.
