BusHunter Posted August 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2021 2 hours ago, Mr.NewFlyer1051 said: there are bus shuttles between belmont and southport starting weekend of September 10th 3 weekends it looks like It should be done before the winter. They need to take advantage of labor day weekend. Was noticing on the west end theres a place for a substation but there is no substation yet. Maybe that's the September work. They are going to have to install an interlocking right there at the Belmont station. That looks like more than 3 weeks work. Probably a substation will have to go there as well.

Hmm, no clue why it's doing that. Everything else I uploaded today was fine and it worked on mobile. Oh well. Track 2 (or whatever the 2 track from the right/east is) was out of commission (all the maintenance equipment). They're rebuilding the supports for the track and switchover in between the flyover and Belmont station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew they were gonna push it back. There’s a third rail piece needed to be back in place and there’s a column that needed to be placed underneath the flyover, they have to clean up all what was down there.

Remember the people mover was supposed to open too but it took them 3 years. I wonder why the old cars are still at taft ave and irving park at the south end of the airport. (Just in case???) ??? Latest gossip says it will open next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
