More sleepers

The day began with a final tidy up of the section from Tuesday, including a ballast scrape, Jack, pack and general mess collection.

It has come up really nicely, which we’re very happy about. This is quite a considerable length of concrete sleepers now, which looks impressive.

We then jumped around to the straight near Maldon, where we unfastened all the steel sleepers ready for the resleepering there.

Then we begun the resleepering there.

We’ve installed and clipped up the first 22 sleepers (in the 1 in 4 pattern), meaning we’ll only have another 66 to install tomorrow, to give us the first 88 concrete sleepers in this straight.

This should be a nice, comfortable day tomorrow, meeting at Maldon 8am or on site shortly after.
