A very successful digger day today, with all the timber sleepers collected, bundled and strapped and the majority taken away. A good general tidy up was also managed.

Tomorrow’s forecast is still looking wet so we’ll call off the workday and it’s likely Monday will be called of too (for other reasons – tbc on Friday) however, Tuesday next week should see us get out of the Curve and into the straight down towards the Bridge!

Today’s weather ended up holding up very well, allowing us to get another 120 installed, making 240 for the week.

We’ve even built the ramp and lifted any low spots. Tomorrow will be a digger day, beginning to tidy up the old timber etc… and the jury is still out on Thursday as the forecast is still looking wet.

Well, we’re off to a flying start this week, with 120 already inserted and clipped up.

Besides having to shuffle a few rails to fix some joint locations, it was a pretty straight forward effort.

A length of rail was cut in half and cascaded to elsewhere to get the joints a half length out of square.

By the day’s end, we were very happy with our efforts. We’ve got another 80 sleepers ready to replace tomorrow and Wednesday will probably be a intense digger day getting everything tidied and bundled up. Thursday will likely be a washout but the weather forecast will hopefully firm up closer.

Tomorrow’s crew will meet at Maldon 8am or out on site from 8.30am.

Today saw us complete the insertions, clip up, tamp up and tidy up of the concrete sleepers just past Donkey Farm Track.

The old timber and steel sleepers were bundled and transported up to Maldon.

Lots of jacking and packing later, it came up a treat.

A decent tidy up of the area was has, bundling up old timber and gluts.

Followed by a bit of boxing up.

It’s come up quite nicely, looking much smarter than it did previously! It wasn’t an enormous number this week, however now we’re back into the swing, we should see some good progress.

Next week, weather permitting, will be additional concrete sleepers. Meeting Maldon 8am or on site from 8.30am
