I was on US 61 the other day, and noticed *lots* of CPR vehicles and lots of track work on an extended stretch of track. I couldn't quite tell what they were doing - I saw what looked like new ties lying by the side ready to be installed, but I couldn't tell from the road if there was more to it than this.

Does anyone know if this is just routine maintenance, or are they trying to double-track more of this section of track?
