Looking down on the east switch of Rocky, you can see this track gang working to replace some old ties by sliding new ties underneath the rails. Sometimes, it take a little effort, and the bulldozer has to move the tied back and forth, almost hammering it underneath. Looks like the radio channel sign, which changes from 54/54 to 23/23 for westbound trains here are Rocky, is laying on the ground to the side of the rails.
