The assembled main truss (centre right) of the new extension to Glasgow Queen Street lies waiting to be lifted into place overnight on 26th-27th January 2019. According to Network Rail, two 500 tonne cranes will be used in a tandem lift, requiring 'close coordination & skill from crane operatives to lift & position the 66 tonne - 53 metre main truss section so it can be fixed to supporting steel.' The structure on the left is the west truss which was lifted into place in mid-December 2018.
