Rerailing

Well, after today, we’re quite literally within sight of Brown Street, with only about 6 rails left to install now.

Today’s effort involved lots of preparation, including dropping out fishplates, bolts, and pre-lubricating the joints etc… after all that went very smoothly, we set about rerailing.

We managed to get 300m of rail installed into the Down leg.

Thursday will be the grand hurrah day to finish the rerailing for this section. It’s by no means the end of the rerailing, but it will mark a very major milestone.

We’d like for anyone who has been part of the re-railing so far to come along on Thursday for the joining up of the 80lb, we’ll try to make it a bit ceremonious.

Thursday we’ll be meeting at Maldon from 8am or out by Brown Street Pedestrian Crossing by 8.30am.
