They were flooding with ballast this morning. I hadn't been through in some time and was excitedly hoping they were ready to switch the heavy rail over tonight (there's a derail sign on the new track)... but the track just peters out at King, connected to nothing, so boo-urns.
I wonder how they're going to connect the new with the old at King. The single-welded rail through Waterloo will be smooth sailing for the freight trains used to 12-foot rail segments.
