Building in the open

Note on How Infrastructure Works via Deb Chachra

In 1886, after months of planning and preparation, all of the broad gauge southern track was changed to standard gauge in just thirty-six hours: tens of thousands of workers pulled up one rail of the track, moved it a few inches closer to the other, and spiked it into its new position. Railcars got new undercarriages, and the two separate smaller networks became a single, fully interconnected, national network.

Talk about a coordinated rollout strategy for a release date.
