As promised, a few more pictures from a job I was on back in the fall. In one night we rolled out two Amtrak bridges and rolled the new ones in. I was on the west bridge, and everything you see here was being done at the same time on the identical east bridge about 500 yards down the causeway.



Coming in to grab a temporary approach bridge after track closure.








This is a neat shot, the 4100 Ringer and 4000 Ringer swinging out temp bridges at the same time!


New bridge blocked up and waiting for us to jack up and roll out the old bridge.


More gratuitous 4000 ringer shots in the evening sun..




Back to work. Threading a bundle of rail through the catenaries.




Old bridge out, bringing in the excavators for abutment demo.








On the move again with the new bridge at 3am.


Done by sunrise! Bring in the track crews...




4100 Ringer barge "Respect".








A long, fun night and a job well done by the crews!

Neat Job, thanks for sharing the photos. It's impressive how quickly some bridges get swapped out these days.

Yah looks very sharp. I watched them test the cianbro 160000 in the yard next to the huge 31000

No 4600's, unfortunately. I'd love to see a 4600 Series 5 with a big Cianbro on the back! We do have the traveling ringer kit (beam and tracks) in our yard, but I don't think they've been used on a job.
