Jacking and Tamping at MP 22.45

The crew ballasts, jacks and tamps the inner rail on the curve just west of the iron bridge. This is tedious work, but is necessary to reduce superelevation on the curves, and give the track better support. We plan to open the Cold Brook extension soon, but not before this important work is done.
