Roanoke Track Work

[NW Mailing List]

I will admit that I haven't followed this project extremely close, but mainly through Ron Davis' excellent photo coverage over the past few months.

However, I believe that most of the work to date has been signal installation and all that that encompasses, not counting the removal of the old passenger platform behind the former station (OWLM). While the signal construction work is progressing, none of them has been "cut in", or activated. That's because the tracks are still intact in their original alignment, and therefore still need the original signals in order to operate. 

I have heard (and I'm sticking my neck out a little because I am not privy to any special info) that the major track work will begin sometime in March, or there about.

They have been working on the track configuration for months now, taking out
what was left of the old passenger platforms, re-doing switches and signals.
