Thanks for sharing! Seeing the old track (wooden ties and short sections joined with fish plates) confirms my theory that they will do the whole run of Continuously Welded Rail in one long shot. So once they start, they will just do the whole thing all at once in one long process. Makes sense, really - bring in your experts on that just once for one period of time and get it all done. So all the prep work of the ballast and underground upgrades is just to prep the upper layers.
