All I have are camera phone snapshots.   Look close and you'll see  the two 
workers in the cage. Not a job I'd like to have!

They quickly removed half of one crossover and replaced it with a section  
of straight track.  It appears the actual track work has begun, and  that it 
will proceed in spurts as the line remains  operational. 
Looking the other direction - behind the railcam - as I type this they  are 
starting to cut one of the old powerhouse stacks into sections about 30  ft 
long.  The stack is rigged to one crane which is holding its weight  while 
a second crane holds a cage with two workers high above the shops.  They are 
using a cutting torch and slowly going around the  circumference of the 
stack.  Very much like a tree service felling a  tree in a crowded 
neighborhood.
