Another big East Side Access construction weekend in Harold Interlocking. Includes removal of out of service main line 4 track to the west, and main line 2 cut and throw to the east. Near the beginning, you can also see a Casagrande B300X drill rig, which will be used to drive soldier piles on the north side later this fall in preparation for Amtrak's westbound bypass route. All this work required the outage of main lines 2 and four, necessitating temporary platforms at Woodside, Forest Hills, and Kew Gardens to allow passengers to board eastbound trains on main line 1, which is typically a westbound express track. Enjoy the ride and the scenery.
