Surfacing Monthly Update #8

22 August 2007

 

2007 WAS ANOTHER BIG YEAR FOR SURFACING CREWS ON THE TWO RAILROADS.   WELL OVER 900 MILES OF TRACK WAS SURFACED USING OVER 200,000 TONS OF BALLAST!!

 

The Surfacing crews on the DM&E and IC&E Railroads had another busy year in 2007 with nearly 1,000 miles of surfacing and over 200,000 tons of ballast scheduled for the year.  We had three contracting crews assist our own forces with these project needs.  Details of the crews are listed below.

 

¨       Both Railroads have 4 surfacing crews that worked all year, and we utilized three contractors to assist with the year’s projects.

 

¨       All of these crews had Jackson 6700 surfacing equipment.

 

¨       Contracting crews were supplied by Railworks, Mile Post 66, and American Railroad Builders.
