This one? Looks like it's right next to the extension of the underground walkway from the Amtrak depot under the new track alignment--perhaps it is being used to lift stuff into the new pedestrian undercrossing?

Pretty amazing piles of dirt over there--some of them look 2-3 stories high! I guess they have to clear out a lot of stuff for the new track alignments and underground passageways. All that dirt is old fill, as it was just a swamp when Central Pacific started building the Shops--no telling what kind of things they are digging up!
