Why has this project faced so many delays???? Wasn't it supposed to be open this past spring?
Based on what I saw this afternoon, It looks like the station may be only a few days from opening... albeit with only one platform... they are allready using the southern platform, but there was still wet concrete between the area we unloaded and the stairs up to the new terminal. The concrete for the northern platform hasn't yet been poured. If the concrete dries in time on the southern platform, maybe I will get to use the new station on my return trip to KC on Wednesday night.
If it is open on Wednesday, I will take some pictures and share them.
Also, it looks like there is some work ongoing at the Sedalia, MO station... Is the station being rennovated for passenger use, or for another purpose?
Finally, one of our conductors today had yellow "shoulder patches" instead of the usual black. I hadn't noticed this on my previous trips... is there some significance to this?
