North from I-12         
A track gang was working its way north from the Interstate 12 bridge during the $2 million refurbishment of the ICG's Shore Line Branch. This project took place throughout 1980, with funding from both the state and Federal governments. The ditches on each side of the track were the recent work of a Jordan Spreader. Despite the investment, the line was abandoned in 1991.

Bernie Feltman General Pretty neat, I bet, watching lift this track out of the mud and give it a few more years of life 1/24/2010 8:41:16 AM
