I was driving home from work and on Moira, there were some CN workers that caught my eye. I stopped and asked if I could take some pictures of the night-repairs being done to the railway track. Seeing as it was 3 a.m. or so, the welding and other machinery let off some crazy sparks and made for a few good pictures.
 |
| In assembly line fashion, various jobs must be done to the tracks in order before the welding can take place. |
 |
| They had a saw that cut a section of the track that needed to be removed and replaced. |
 |
| This is the Welding gang foreman, Chris Ramsey. |
 |
| They have to stop working to wait while a train passes on the other tracks. |
 |
| A machine lifted the pieces of track away |
 |
| They heat up the section that needs to be welded. |
 |
| A machine does the welding once it is fitted with the track perfectly. Ramsey and the guys can just watch the sparks fly. |
