I'll be looking forward to the temporary creek crossings; construction, use and teardown
The scope of the whole thing is like Hannibal crossing the Alps! Way cool.
It just occurs to me, why not pull it up the Enola Line, building a trail in their wake?
Wow, just imagine the cost and paperwork for the permits to do the temporary creek crossings!
Don't think you could move it up the Enola Line. Aren't there 2 elevated spans? Pretty sure the existing spans would not support such weight. But it would be cool if they could do some improvements as part of this moving project somewhere. Anyone see the letter to the editor in the Intell this morning about improving the existing rail line to move these? Couldn't help but wonder if such rail improvements would enable this line to also have highspeed passenger service. I find it really annoying that there is no direct passenger train to Baltimore/D.C.
