Photo of Massive pile of ties
Massive pile of ties

During a visit earlier in November I noticed the pile of ties that had been sitting at the eastern tunnel entrance of the Hoosac tunnel was starting to be removed. Later that month I came back to this massive pile. It seems they've been removing all the old piles of ties along the west to east. They brought here via high-rail truck then loaded them up on another truck and hauled out.
