Interesting, looks like we're about a week away from track being installed on Borden! Why do they only need 3 days, though? Other road crossings have taken 3-4 weeks, how will they complete the Borden / Courtland one in 1/8th of that time?
I also wonder if they don't mean track installation, if they just mean the welding operation - and they might want to have Courtland closed so they can more easily (and at their leisure over the duration of the closure) drag the rail sections across the road to lay them closer to their final location. Matt (GrandLinq) seemed pretty certain that the rails wouldn't be placed in their final position for about 6 weeks (from last Sunday).
Perhaps so, but where would they place the final welded rails if not in their final location? If they weren't putting them in the ground just yet, why not weld them somewhere else on Borden where a street closure wouldn't be required, you know? And if the answer to that is because there isn't enough space elsewhere on Borden, then where would they have planned to put the welded track after the closure? Just my line of thinking.
Maybe they only plan on doing the section from the Spur to the other side of Courtland just to have it done.
