Railroad-SPS New England worked 24 hours a day from September 6th to September 29th on a shutdown of the MBTA Red Line between JFK/UMass Station and Braintree Station with Railroad-SPS crews working between Tenean Beach and Wollaston Station. Railroad-SPS crews replaced over 7000 ties, just under 13000 feet of Rail, destressed over 34500 feet of rail, replaced the Linden Street Truck Pad, performed various switch work, as well has dressed the track with just under 3000 Tons of Ballast.
