See how it's done up close as an Amtrak work crew uses the P811 Track Laying System to lift the new track, push the aggregate aside, pull the old wooden ties and place new concrete ties and clip the rail in place all at once with this amazing machinery.

From Amtrak regarding service on this section of track: "Train service operates normally before 8 a.m. and after 4 p.m., but between those times no Keystone trains are operating on this stretch. Service runs at normal times all day Friday through Sunday. During lunchtime Monday through Thursday, the Pennsylvanian, which operates between Pittsburgh and New York City, goes through — one train in each direction.
While the work is being done, there’s one track out of service but the other track is being used to move the people doing the work. That track is cleared so the Pennsylvanian can run through during the lunch hour and the Keystone can resume normal service after 4 p.m. until the end of the day Monday through Thursday."
