070621003 CP/SOO bridge replacement project over BNSF Northtown CTC 35th |
Description: |
While a small jack-hammer begins demolition on top of the center pier, a larger jack-hammer positions itself on the ground. The raised bucket presumably catches large debris from the top of the pier before it fouls the track below. |
