While we’re still waiting to get an idea on the time before we can get a digger back, here are a few pictures from it in action last Friday.
Changing sleepers and unloading more sleepers at Boundary Trk, ready for the next section that requires renewals (Boundary trk to Rifle Range Bridge).
We managed an impressive 63 sleepers on Friday, which completed that section, a total of 166 for the length between the crossings. We’ve likely still got another 200 to replace from Boundary Trk down to Brown Street.
Short of a bit of tamping and a bit of ballast tidying, we can just about call this short section complete, meaning it’ll soon be time to begin on section towards Rifle Range Bridge, all being well that’ll be next week.
However, as for the next few days, we’ll be focusing on odd jobs around Maldon Yard, we’ve got a few bolts to tighten, a good amount of signalling gear to lubricate and no doubt we’ll keep busy. Meeting at Maldon from 8am
