While we've able to run many a train across the canyon bridge without it, a construction crew finally got funded to address this weakness :0). Fact is, not having the support pier installed made it a lot easier to work in the canyon during its scenic development but now that that is essentially done, the pier was needed to complete the bridge.
Another show and some structural progress
A functional module
Well, its been a month since I've provided an update ... as you can see, the track for the module is now installed and its even live! I've even got two end modules, one functional and the other to be operational in a day or two. I've done some limited testing with the one end module in place and can't wait to start "loop" testing once the second end is hooked up.
