Sean: Looking good my friend. Just one question. Why does the bent being installed look five years older than the bents that the crane is sitting on top of?

You better make sure the LPB crew has plenty of cold beer when they're done or they'll be wantin a raise.

Howdy Sean, our GR also has the same type USA Trains crane and used it to construct concrete culverts (see June 2009 GR).
When the UP did the big dig lowering their mainline through Reno, NV they built a temporary bypass track. A couple of years later when the new depressed tracks were finished the bypass track was cutup into track panels and stored at the Reno Yard. Over time the panel tracks have been being recycled. Could that what happened with your trestle bents?
Nice work, Rob
