Floor Beam Removal |
| Description: |
Floor beams are being cut out of Bays 1 & 2, with sections lifted out by crane. This is in preparation for the big lift - removal of the main girders G1 (to be rehabilitated) and G2 (to be scrapped and replaced). Columns have been sandblasted, the lead paint abated, and are ready for their own repair work. |

Pile Driving! |
| Description: |
In order to retain active train traffic adjacent to the bays of the bridge where abutment rehabilitation is needed, sheeting must be driven. This is accomplished using 30-foot long, 14-inch deep, 1-1/2 ton steel beams, and 1-inch-thick steel plates between the beams. The crane is attached to a vibratory hammer--a 3500-pound vibrating weight that literally shakes the pile into the ground. |

"Point of Gap" |
| Description: |
PT-98 passing through the actual "Point of Gap" just a mile from its destination of Slateford Jct. Yard in Delaware, PA. Throughout my childhood, on family vacations West and North, we'd zoom through the Gap on I-80 and I'd always dreamed of seeing a train on the tracks through the Gap on the other side of the river. This was the first one I'd seen--at the ripe old age of 29!! |

NJ TRANSIT Train 5419 passes the work site |
| Description: |
NJ TRANSIT train 5419 comes West on the former CNJ Main Line through the Eastern track swing on Track #1. Note the 'sectional' track removed over each bridge and stacked on the former Track #1 for work to begin. Trees are being cut back to allow for adequate clearance during construction. Note Plainfield Station in the distance. It would make for an interesting model railroad scene! |
