We set about beginning the replacement of failed sleepers between Midland Hwy and Rowe Street today, we’ve got around 200 to replace, and we made a start by installing the first 15 (as that’s all we had out on the ground)
While there, we corrected a number of small dips from Winters Flat Bridge, through to Maclise St Crossing, none of them major, but easier to correct when only minor.
The humidity did make the day rather uncomfortable, however we pushed through, also managing a big whipper snipping around Midland Hwy crossing.
Thursday and Friday will be dedicated to sleeper trains, as we need to get sleepers out trackside for future works, we’ll be meeting at Maldon at 8am and heading out along the track as required.
