Photos of 2019 track upgrade
by Peter Martin

As of the end of September 2019, the upgrade to the railroad between the Walnut Street bridge abutment and the depot on Americas Cup Avenue has been completed. The project consisted of replacing the East track and removing the West track.

During the project, which started in August 2018, I took occasional 'progress' photos. I have selected the following to show the progress that was made.
