With the upcoming arrival of the new Orange Line #14s they are overhauling the Wellington Yard/Carhouse. It involves adding a new service bay, adjacent to the SB platform. They have ripped up the outside "Pit Track" and will be moving over the roadway over to that location. A new service bay will be built on what is now the roadway. Also new trackage will be added to house the two fleets of trains, #12s and #14s, until the #12s get sent to the transit system in the sky. I am not sure if those tracks will be powered on just tail tracks. This was done during the #11s and #12s transition.
Also the test track from just north of Wellington to Community College will be refurbished, with new ties and maybe rail. They have already cordoned off the test track and pulled the third rail and dumped it by the wayside. Since I was off yesterday I was able to catch the track gang starting the work the Wellington area.
Last night on my return it only looks like they pulled the running rail at the very end of the test track by the Route 16 Revere Beach Parkway Bridge.
