There comes a point in any big project where it's time to give it a go - 'kick the tires' so to speak, or give it a try. Well, we got to that point here with our new lift bridge - time to see if it actually works. I recorded a video of our first opening - Here we go!
Well, alright! Not bad for a first test, and while we have some adjustments to make I am thrilled at the progress. Now, we get all-rail access to the new storage staging at Peat Street Yard, and we do it without the need for a duckunder. Instead we have an actual, functional lift bridge!
As you can see here, it's powered by a cordless drill with a 3/4" socket wrench, and can easily be moved up or down as needed. This will allow a walkway to stay open but also occasional all-rail access to the new staging area.
Plenty more to come, but this is a game changer for us here on the Onondaga Cutoff. Lots of new variety coming soon!
