Another extremely successful day today. With a further 73 concrete sleepers inserted and clipped up, we ran out of sleepers just past the curve. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll need to run another sleeper train as there’s still a few hundred required.
While all this was going on, a full-length track weedspray was undertaken to get control of any growth.
The afternoon consisted of exciting activities such as collecting the last of the old jewellery and dropping out more sleeper plates.
Around 2 more pallets of plates still needed to finish off the last section.
Any failed sleepers right down to Brown Street have been marked
Today marks the end of this week, with no workday tomorrow for various reasons. We’ll be back into it on Tuesday. Check back Monday for details. However, it’ll likely involve sorting through more jewellery at Muckleford to get the last of the sleeper plates required.
