W.E.C. Engineers, Inc. has completed several complex highway design projects that required railroad track relocations of which the most noteworthy was L. R. 1015, the Volkswagen project. It included the relocation study, final design and contract bid documents for approximately one mile of relocated trackage. The relocation was complicated because of conflicts with a major stream and a full highway interchange.
