Even if it does, the fog is only supposed to last until around 9:30 am.

No, the fog shouldn't affect anything other than us seeing until it burns off. If you walk outside you'll see fog and lower visibility but you can still see just fine.

The fog curtain has lifted! And the track install is cranking :)

I don't think many people will feel any "head chopper effect" of this track going over the drop track... huge height difference.

It looks to me like they only have 2 or 3 pieces of track left. They should have those in by this evening so if no more trucks show up they may have to find something else to do for a while.

Since there is no MCBR the system won't allow it even if you dispatched two trains very quickly. It won't let a train down the hill until the current train is in the brake run.

Maybe a load of wall board for the gate buildings. Most of it is delivered on trucks that have their own unloader.

Only one lonely piece of track left in the parking lot. Looks like the guys might have the day off tomorrow...
