Odd Duck here are a few pics of the work. Wish I had got more.

This is the interrupted work south of Smith Ranch Rd. They had stacked up some tie plates in this area




Here's a heavy machine with what looks like a magnet and piles of tie plates and what not






I believe this machine is pulling the spikes, moving right to left. You can see pulled spikes to the right of the crew.





This is up by North San Pedro Road





This is ties down at Bel Marin Keys Blvd overpass. A lot of this stuff went back to Ignacio and from there to the NWP yard on on the flatcars that the concrete ties are delivered on.
