Just a few pics from a customer track we are building.
My office for the rest of the day.
Took this a few weeks ago...just hangin with my peeps.

It is at Allegheny Landing on Pittsburgh's North Shore right by PNC Park.

That track in the first picture looks like it's going to be restricted clearance.
Thanks for sharing the beautifull pictures.
I see you're a fan of the Seco mini prism too.

Great pics.
After a little foray into Google I found this about that statue:
----
The Builders, designed by sculptor George Danhires, was dedicated in Allegheny Landing on June 12, 1984. The 5-foot, 8-inch tall bronze sculpture is a tribute to the builders of PittsburghÛªs two renaissances. Commissioned by the construction company, Mellon Stuart Company, it is based on a photograph of two actual company employees. In creating the sculpture, Danhires used a procedure that involving soaking rough burlap strips in melted wax; anchoring the burlap to an armature of steel pipe covered with styrofoam to establish the general figure; and then developing surface detail and texture of the figures by working the wax surface with various tools and brushes.

Not a word about surveyors unfortunately.
The 'builder's' gun looks like a Wild T-16

The track is 8.5' from the centerline to the building line. That is the minimum we can do. There will be "Close Clearance" signs up at the corner of the building, but since everything will be transloaded on the side of the cars opposite the building, I don't really see it being an issue.

Working 99% solo, I have 2 of these setups and they are a life saver. Not having to lug prism poles and bi-pods around is really nice!

Here's a "clean" version for you 😉

Actually, I was referring to what looks like a power pole at the left edge of the crossties - actually, at second glance it looks like it is between the ties. Seems close to me but that could just be the angle of the picture.
In the third photo, the hydrant looks like the SurveyorConnect logo guy, and it is a beer leg setup ...

The power pole is actually between the ties. It is getting removed early next week.

Looks like a Lietz TM20C to me. Note the built in reading glass.

great pics, and since the beam of light isn't blocked by that hydrant, I don't think it could honestly be called a "beer leg" setup!

I missed that, Andy. Wishful thinking I guess
