“Work Weekend (plus!)” because this post includes work accomplished before and after the official “Work Weekend.” To make the pathway between Old Threshers’ Museum B and the platform on the north side of South Station an easier walk for the crowds at the 2017 Old Threshers Reunion, the tracks leading out of the station needed to be raised a bit.
On the east side of the South Station, ties west of the south spur’s switch were nearly nonexistent.
The south spur switch will be rebuilt.
