The Big Pit Dig

On May 17, 2022 we broke ground on the Historic Brooklyn Railyard Turntable installation project. This has been many years in the making. We are so thankful to all our donors and the extensive team that has gotten us to this point.
Take a look at what it takes to dig a pit in 4 minutes and 19 seconds!
A special thank you to the crews at Rick Franklin Corporation, Albany and Eastern Railroad, Wood Waste Management and City Bark. You all ROCK! We could not ask for a better partner in this construction project.
Thank you also to Dale Birkholz for his work to put this video together.
