Main line progresses to Ft Edward

Track Gangs are hard at work

Over this weekend the track gang has been hard at work in Ft Edward.
The main line through town is now complete.

This then completes the section from Ft Edward down to South Staging.
The track and turnouts are not yet powered but the tortoise machines are installed.

Work to power the main line will begin once the main line reaches Whitehall.

Unfortunately the track gang was delayed late today due to the lack of no more gaps!

Here are a few progress pictures.

The train was manually moved during the testing via the 0-5-0 switcher.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hopefully by the end of the month the main line through to Plattsburgh will be completed.!
