    Fascinating video here about the the replacement of a bridge on the Dublin Cork line that happened a little while back. Some footage of the autoballasters too.

    Amazing video and amazing how they got every operation to gel together almost seamlessly. Thank god for non-CIE contractors!

    Where did the river go during the work? I can't see a diversion path there and I don't think they could have just dammed it for that long.

    cool, but was watching some discovery/national geo documentary's recently.

    amazing stuff, bostons big dig. really really put things in perspective, especially considering the times we are in now, and how it only takes one man who wants to do something good to really get stuff done, shows up all politicians and public servants i think
