Nash Road Railroad Crossing Replacement

April 9-11 2021, the City had RailWorks Track Services, Inc. replace the rail road crossing of Nash Road and the City’s rail road spur servicing the Nash Road Industrial Park area. The repairs improved the deteriorating conditions of the roadway crossing, and provided a much smoother driving surface. Thanks to Blake Kiefner for this cool time lapse video that shows you the hard work that went into removing and replacing the rail and roadway - rain or shine! It was an inconvenient but necessary improvement to this industrial district and we thank neighboring businesses and commuters for their patience! The project was made possible by Transportation Trust Fund 5 Safety Improvement Funds.

Really cool video. We don’t realize all the work that goes into a project like this

Good job

[@CityofCape]

AMAZING, right? Those guys knew how to get it done!

Bravo for providing an Excellent Video that Informs and Entertains. Rare to find Time-lapse Videos showing a Project from Start to Finish. Videos like this can be stored in the Archives to be used later for other purposes.

Isn’t this track unused or rarely used? Cus judging how grassy or old those rails look, it’s like the train nearby my house rarely coming by with the tracks in BARELY good condition.

Is this project all completed?

[@CityofCape]

Yes!

[@oscaralvarezproductions2430]

They had to make changes around here

[@brycedarnell7395]

I think these guys were here to just replace the road segment and nothing else. I believe things that involve tampering with the crossing units (adding gates, bells, etc) would be up to the railroad.

Not in my town, they just put down soft asphalt and it last months not years. Like saying I don't give a crap about my country, penny pinch everything.

Do you have any idea how long it takes to remove a railroad crossing

[@davezobeljr9025]

I was thinking they were going to add gates and replace the one light tower. Looks like its seen its better days. It was flopping all over in the wind. This is only a spur too. My god. That was alot of work for a spur. But i guess they have nothing better to do

[@CanadianPacific1293Fan]

I don’t know why did only had to replace the cross that gose over the tracks and not the signals

[@GrandTrunkiddo]

why did they have the lights activated?

[@finnythao1548]

I thought the whole sick those were going to get replaced because they needed gates but they just put a new bell

[@tylermcintyre1454]

Tyler Mac I’m going too repaint the track

[@princessofthecape2078]

This doesn't feel like a heavily trafficked enough line or road to justify this.

5:08

[@lazuardiimani2305]

Not in my country 😭

[@heathergilbey1246]

5.:08 railroad is almost done

[@brianleeper5737]

All that for a flippin' rail spur? Most railroads wouldn't even do that on a mainline that crosses a 4-lane 55MPH highway.

[@jaxithfox]

Yes they would and yes they do.

[@brianleeper5737]

@@jaxithfox Norfolk Southern wouldn't and Norfolk Southern doesn't.

WHAT 0:17 there’s an old signal!
