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
