I was in St. Maries over the weekend. All the new bridge supports are in place and track has been laid but not ballasted on the trestle. In the St. Maries yard, there are 2 hoppers filled with ballast with more piled by the track. There was still a large crane sitting on the trestle, and a small section of track is still missing at the edge of the trestle, maybe to give the crane room to operate. At Plummer, there are quite a few St. Maries boxcars sitting on the siding. Does anyone know how they got the crane in, by rail or some other way?
