New Railings/Platforms

It looks like they are putting on new Railings/Platforms on the Gauntlet.  No idea on how far they are going to extend them.   It is going to change the look a little.

Heard rumors about this. First they were going to do it, then they were not.  There was an incident were a train went into Emergancy near the bridge.  Then someone said what would have happened if it went into Emergancy ON the bridge ?
