Ever see a
yellow gandy dancer? This is how it now
works and what is happening from Chicago to St.
Louis for the high speed rail. They are
now working around Springfield.
This is
amazing to watch. They won't let you close
enough to watch. This is even better and
warmer.
They just did this
operation through Sherman for the high speed
rail.
People were stopping along
the highway taking
pictures.
For those who live
in the Springfield area and have seen all the
machines running up and down the tracks, here is
a link to a video that shows you how the
concrete ties and rail are put in place.
The road bed was raised 13 inches to accommodate
the new high speed rail line between St. Louis,
MO. and Chicago, IL. There are only two of
these track laying machines in the world, one
here and one in
Europe
