Cool video. It's interesting, they seemed to lift into place completed sections of track, as opposed to what I see them do here were they assemble track in place. Was that simply because it was a switching section of track?
Also, I assume that was a repair/refurbishment of the previous track, do you know what exactly wears out about the track? Is it the profile of the metal track? The concrete its embedded in? Or was it just the switches? I assume we will eventually have to do similar work on our tracks, but how long do they typically last?
