The new Route 206 bridge update...

(Train sightings on 9-5-11.)

Continuing to document the progress of the new Route 206 bridge being built over CSX's Trenton Line in Belle Mead, here is the latest as of September 5th, 2011. CSX Q439, with CSX 942 and CSX 4807, passes beneath the new Route 206 bridge being built over CSX's Trenton Line at MP 50 @ 3:30. Note that the new bridge has a chain link fence that curtails any railroad photography from the bridge's walkways. Those trees along the ROW certainly don't help growing where they are either. On a line that is lacking railroad photo locations, another location has fallen victim to the dreaded chain link fence and overgrowth! Still needing to be done are the roadways leading up to the bridge. As for the old bridge, its demolition will occur possibly in the late fall or early winter. Stay tuned for further developments as they occur...
