actually bridging (get it?, ow ) rails and the FSK bridge, I know that it was under construction as a 2 lane auto tunnel, when the price came out to be too high, so it was rebid as a bridge. I have recollection of finding an article at Enoch Pratt library * late 90s that said it started it's life a...

As the ACoE (Army Corp of Engineers) is yanking pieces of bridge out of the water, a temporary channel, 11' deep, has been opened w/restrictions . It will help with some smaller vessels to get in and out. It's located on northeastern side of the area. Semi-related to trains, Carnival Cruiselines hav...

I was looking at a nautical chart.. North of the 1200ft spans and under the concrete bridge spans it's a 20 ft draft. Some traffic could move thru there at high tide, especially if empty and lightly fueled. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk Yeah, they're keeping the entire thing closed for a whi...

This gives me some ideas. I'll have to tweak my plans a bit.

https://www.bbc.com/news/68691201 The state has requested a host of resources to help with the clean-up process. The US Army Corps of Engineers is covering the cost of clearing the channel and has 32 staff members and 38 US Navy contractors on the ground, said Maryland's Democratic Senator Chris Van...

No way it's a couple of weeks. I was talking to my brother-in-law who works for what I presume is one of Tadman's competitors, and he said 90 days at a minimum. Getting the equipment staged and other planning to start the demolition is going to take 4 to 8 weeks alone. The impression I got from the...

At one time, Sparrows Point was a Bethlehem Steel (Mittal) mill, and surely had rail service at that time. Hopefully, the B&O trackage remained (did PRR have access as well?) so that "for the duration" there will be rail service available. There is still some trackage according to Goo...

Impacted ports: Dundalk Marine Terminal Seagrit/Port of Baltimore Consol Marine Terminal (Point Breeze, CSX) Tide Point Any port in the Northwest Harbor Maryland Cruise Terminal/Port Covington Fairfield Area/Wagners Point Curtis Bay (CSX) Curtis Creek Coast Guard Yard Yara Baltimore Terminal (right ...

Baltimore is one of the larger LNG and coal export points. With those commodities requiring specialized handling, that'll be a much bigger problem to solve. Curtis Bay is the involved port, "behind" the Key Bridge (along with the Port of Baltimore). Dave/CCRX 6700 noted some of the impact...

Popping in here to see the proper thread on this. Yes, there will be some effects CSX and NS will be dealing with. For the jobs affected at the Port of Baltimore? Maryland is pushing through emergency legislation to fund relief for workers affected, pulling from a dedicated Rainy Day Fund for such i...

BTW, before anyone asks and El Jeffe moves the thread: The Port of Baltimore is going to be closed to merchant vessels. Rail traffic off CSX/NS lines still is allowed (as is trucks), but having ships be delayed until the area is cleared and ships allowed back "under the bridge" and to the...

Take that PSR! More than just a little bit gross that you're trying to make a joke or a jab out of an event that people died in............. Sent from my SM-S911U using Tapatalk As of this post, 6 are unaccounted for from the construction crew on the bridge. There are no deaths at this time. I am f...

....for Amtrak and MARC to get a temporary boost is their Baltimore passenger counts. I'm sure Mr. Wolf will concur. "Read all about it in the news source of your choice: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/03/26/us/baltimore-bridge-collapse?smid=url-share Speaking for myself, the sooner I'm ove...

But this is a big country, there might well be plenty of people who would rather sleep through a slightly longer trip, then have to stay vigilant for 5-6 hours of driving. Why are you trying to argue against a service that others might well like to use, just because it doesn't suit you? When is the...
