Track crew is working on removing EngineHouse leads in these captured views. Switch stand is taken down while front end loader moves rail and ties to clear. Smoke also visible out vent from time to time from loco pulled inside.

Front end loader with another removed rail. Making a stack of them just past the tipple dump track.

Moving over to the next stall more track is taken up as smoke continues to vent from the stack.

It looks like the track to stall 2 is up. At 4:15 the loco is sitting outside.
Is there a connecting track on the backside to the yard?
It has been, unfortunately, a long time since I have been able to participate in a work session and I have forgotten the track layout around the buildings.
It will be interesting to watch the new track being installed.
