First big fella Dennis lifted and lowered on Eglinton West

The first of two enormous boring machines that needed to jump over Allen station on Eglinton Ave W. has done so. The big lift of Dennis was apparently completed without incident. The other machine, Lea (named after you know where) will make the same jump overnight tonight. These two behemoths will now bore towards Yonge Street. It is a wonderful engineering event and much to be applauded but perhaps staying up all night might be too much like watching 400-tons of paint dry. Here we see Dennis freshly unearthed in a video capture from CP24 with a gentleman who appears to be sneaking up on the great machine to take a picture.
