Progress Report 11.13.10 - T Minus 7 Days

Progress continued today after crews slept in yesterday failing to report to work.

The CNW branchline is complete.  The industrial trackage in Davenport was added along with the spurs for both grain elevators.

Feeders were dropped and soldered to the rails completing the CNW branch.

Crews made a major push on the slide switch front.  All slide switches have been installed minus one on the CNW branch which will be installed tomorrow.  This includes three requiring additional engineering due to special circumstances.  When reviewing the layout, two additional ones were found that also needed to be installed.  Crews report these as being complete too. 

Other than the one slide switch installation, construction is complete.  Crews will begin a major cleanup operation and then perform quality control tests.  Crews will follow the test train to repair any issues on site.
