Western Railroad Discussion > UP bridge construction near Davis, CADate: 07/22/14 22:31 UP bridge construction near Davis, CA Author: grafvonb49 For about the last month or so a couple dozen bulkhead steel flatcars, all SSW 880000 series, each loaded with a concrete half of a trackbed section (bridge material?) were spotted on the 2nd St. short siding in Davis. One day last week I saw two UP units attached and now the cut is gone (somewhere...); there are a half dozen or so UPMW loaded ballast cars in the same spot. Where is the action?
Thanks! Linton Date: 07/22/14 23:01 Re: UP bridge construction near Davis, CA Author: Amtrakdavis22 They have been replacing the Putah Creek Bridge just west of Davis, CA. Work windows have been placed in the middle of the night to not conflict with Capitol Corridor trains too much. Listen on the radio for Foreman Ochoa.

I ride the Corridor to/from Davis/Richmond frequently, but not all last week! Gonna miss the rumble going through the girder over Putah Creek, especially coming home in the evening. Thanks for the heads-up!
