A rather successful day today, with the little digger seemingly proving itself, despite a flat outer tyre (which is irrelevant on rail), it didn’t cause us much trouble, oil leaks seemed to be fixable and generally it’s performance was good, so a good start.
We managed to achieve a lot, with all sleeper plates dropped and inserted for the UP leg between Boundary Trk and Rifle Range Bridge, spikes have also been dropped out, ready for drilling and spiking to begin on Thursday.
These pics don’t show a lot. However, the pleasant afternoon sun made Boundary Track a very enjoyable place to be at knock-off time.
Thursday crew will again meet directly at Boundary Trk from 8.15am.
