Greetings everyone!

I was wondering if there is any word on the progress of CSX's work on enlarging the clearances on the Trenton Line in Philly. Haven't heard or seen anything since they enlarged the clearance under the Holmes Ave bridge in NE Philly back around Thanksgiving of '06.

Soooo...a little more time has passed. Haven't heard or seen much on CSX's work to enlarge clearances on the Trenton Line through Philly, which was suppose to be completed later in 2008, I believe. Had heard some time ago that there may have been a snag where the line passes by Septa's Wayne Junction going under Wayne and Germantown Aves in a trench (can't dig deeper, as trench is concrete lined, and can't raise the bridge to raise clearances as in tight spot), but no confirmation. Anyone know anything?
