Since the 05/28/2003 Progress Report, more work
has been accomplished.
Thanks to some help from the crew at a recent work session, risers and
plywood subroadbed have been installed now from High Meadow, Va. to the curve
near the north end of Ridgemont, Va. Also, Subvinylbed has been laid for the
mainline along this newly installed subroadbed.
