US-31 over EWR/NS/NKP/LEW near Plymouth, IN

(Satellite)

I don't normally document overpasses, but I normally don't see a video of a tandem crane lift walking a beam into position.

Thank you for your patience during our beam setting operations as we make progress on the new rail overpass on U.S. 31 northbound in Marshall County! These beams are among the largest in Indiana.
Short delays are possible through early next week as we disassemble and remove the cranes from the work zone - each crane needs 8 semis!
Nick Lange: What railroad was this over?
Bryce Wright: Nick Lange Elkhart & Western

Why is there so much clearance on either side of the railroad? Those long beams seem to be overkill for a railroad crossing.

Is the traffic on this shortline heavy enough to justify a separate grade crossing?
