Right now NS has a shoofly trestle set up for the traffic on the CNOTP over a road construction site. They are widening the road to four lanes and that also requires them to widen the RR underpass to meet the standards of the four lane road. RJ Corman RR Construction constructed the shoofly around the original location to accomindate the double track traffic that travels thru this area. This time RJ Corman double-steeled the shoofly so it would not wabble. Trains are running at or near track speed. <br /> <br />I remember a similar construction site two years ago where the company built a shoofly around a road construction site and the shoofly was wabbling like a rubber band whenever a train went over it. The structure was not double steeled and they put speed restrictions on the trestle to 10 mph. They learned their lesson the hard way.
