Rail crews deserve thanks for upgrade on underpass

My family and I would like to send a big thank you to the crews who reconstructed and widened the BNSF Railway/Rainier Road underpass.

They worked tirelessly throughout the long hot summer and into the fall using huge equipment in cramped, dirty, difficult conditions. Although motorists sometimes endured long waits in stopped traffic or were detoured, the finished underpass is much safer and nicer for everyone.

Kudos to the crews for a job well done! Your efforts are appreciated.
