Bruce,

Some of the CPLs are going to VMT. A few are in the staging yard just 
west of 10th Street Bridge.

I understand the control boards are still in the Randolph Street 
Tower. Many critical circuits continued to run through the Tower 
until Sunday. Now the circuits and the tower are unneeded.

The siding for Amtrak is not part of this project. The engineering 
for exactly where it will be located is being done right now. I 
cannot believe that NS did not at least pencil in where they want it 
to go before starting this current project.
