Things this last month have been interesting. I’ve had a fair bit of work since the last post where we’ve been predominantly out tamping (in some cases for the final time prior to handback) and I’ve had the chance to get myself fully back into the groove with Level 2 stressing.
It’s now getting to the point for me where I look at my next project or department – as things start to slowly and gradually wind down here at EWR, I’ll be assigned to another area to continue engineering duties. It’s been an incredible project to be a part of, and I couldn’t think of anywhere better for me to have made my entry into track construction at, but all things must come to an end.
Things are in the works, and once things are concrete I’ll be no doubt back here to excitedly talk about what’s next for me.
