CSX's Q417 passes in front of Route 206's northern bridge abutment (MP 50 on the TL) with its mixed consist of freight on March 27, 2011 in Belle Mead, NJ. Motive power was CSX 8764 (SD60M) and CSX 8844 (ex-CR 6480; SD40-2). The southern bridge abutment has been completed and grading the area around it has been done. With the severe winter New Jersey has experienced, I would speculate that construction project is behind schedule. Originally, it was said the new bridge's steel spans for the Route 206 roadway would be in place by February. As one can see, that has not happened. The old span, seen in the background, is best described by saying its days are definitely numbered.
