hard to tell in a photo how close it is to that wall -- I guess guest always keep their hands/arms/legs in the ride vehicle!

It does. But that’s only after having to redo everything in the early stages because the original dimensions of the tunnel didn’t provide enough clearance, so they had to stop all work and start over, which further caused delays.

Do you find it strange they brought it round in that direction?
↩ replying to JoeCamel
?? the train has always gone that direction?
↩ replying to Captain Barbossa
I love that they have four people guarding the crossing for safety's sake, and then there's a bunch of guys right by the tunnel, out of sight of the engineer, playing chicken with a train.

Heading to Main Street from Fantasyland. It wasn’t running backwards.

Shakes my soul that I didn't know what I was seeing. Been too long I guess
Today, it looks like they're potentially taking down the mesh-covered chain link fencing along the edge of the Speedway, constructing the tall wall leading to the emergency stair doorway at the top of the flyover, and prepping for more landscaping on either side of the railroad tracks on the approach to the PeopleMover overpass.

In your defense, the tall wall is usually hiding backstage with the low ground allowing a view from the park. That zoomed in, it's easy for the mind to just assume that it's from the other side of the tunnel. Especially if you're just focused on the beauty of the train.
