Well I can now call the bulk of the "IRON" work finished 
. All of the cross members and X braces are in 
. all that's left to do is a few hundred splice plates 
.
Here is an over view of the top of the lift section
The center of the lift section will be home to a bridge tenders/interlocking house and cable support tower.
A close up pic of the middle of the lift section.
Just for a sense of scale.. Here's a shot of the lift section next to another project that I'm working on. My LNE 2-8-2. It looks like a small toy next to all that Iron.
