There appears to be some significant construction taking place at the location of the old trestle bridge connecting the Dorchester Branch to the Franklin line (crossing over the NE Corridor).
New bridge just east of the existing one? Providing direct access to the old Readville shops for a potential future layover yard? I know the existing old trestle has seen better days and has a 10 mph speed restriction.
I took a picture yesterday from the high level platform on NEC track 2 (inbound side). Looks like the makings for concrete forms. I tried to attach the photo here but keep getting a message of "format invalid". (Doing so from my IPad as my work PC firewall doesn't like trains.)
