Back in late June, I was riding Greenfield Village's Weiser Railroad when I spotted 3 Amtrak flats loaded with sections of track on the GFV spur, right outside the gates:

Shortly after, on the 4th of July, I paid a visit to the Dearborn station (which, by the way, is a great new place to watch the GFV firework show) and realized where all the track was from. Amtrak crews had been quite busy finally removing the old track from between the platforms. They probably have the rails in by now, I have not been back since then:

Early last week I stopped by the almost completed (new complete) Gulley St. crossing, where the crossing gates were already back in place:

I always wondered how they installed these concrete crossing pads, and it was cool seeing the crossing before it was paved. In the background of this picture is the Herzog ballast car that Amtrak has been using since Wayne:

Finally, today, I paid a visit to Monroe St., where work has just begun. Looking west, the tracks have been completed (minus ballast) up to Mason St., and are simply waiting on these crossings' construction to be connected:

Lastly, looking east toward the station, two new cantilever signals have been installed over Oakwood Blvd. This is the eastbound signal, the westbound signal can be seen in the background closer to the station. Don't know yet when these will go into operation, or if they will be named a new location to replace CP Mort. But, for now, they sure do look cool:
