Danville Jct. Snapshot 9-27-10

Here are a couple of shots taken today at Danville Jct. The construction is starting to get very busy lately.



The top left shot is the SLR new main that will join the PAR main past the crossing. It just needs switches installed at either end and some ballast work. This is right through the old road, now blocked off in the middle.








Lower left we see the end of the new SLR main and the future switch off to the far right. The diamond is still active and gives you some reference. I'm standing near the old shack's location at the crossing.

On the left the new PAR main is stretched out. Ballasting was in progress up to the crossing behind the scene to the left. The old track was bulldozed off to the left.


You can see the old main has been spruced up near the crossing and the new main is getting ballasted. Ballast work stopped at the crossing as seen in the prior photo.

The ballasting equipment was parked up past Black Cat Rd. Even though it was a Saturday, work was going on today.

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures


The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".

Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.
