I don't know about others but MFN was able to use conduit that they already owned for their metro network and to get expedited approval to lease some Verizon duct. ----- Original Message ----- From: David Lesher <wb8foz@nrk.com> To: nanog list <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Saturday, July 21, 2001 6:18 PM Subject: Re: Update: CSX train derailment
I asked a resident who happen to work in the area re: the 30kft temporary fiber run. See <http://www.sunspot.net/news/local/bal-traingridlockmap.graphic> for a map.
It must be in a tunnel. I drove right past there today on my way to work and didn't see anything at all. The Sun {newspaper} is on Calvert St. between Center and Orleans. There are no visible aboveground cables (phone, electrical, cable) on Calvert or on Guilford for as far as I can see from the windows right now.
There was a later reference to pipes blocked with mud. Do we infer they got permission to run it through storm sewers? In any case, that was fast work by the fiber folks..
