No additional sleepers today, however a good amount of tidy up and fixing a few small dips.
It might not be overly obvious, however these show a before and after of the dip removal process. None of these are really what you’d deem significant given our low speeds, however it’s nice to tackle them while we’re here.
In a slight error of basic mathematics yesterday, we reported this week had seem 210 sleepers installed, that should really have been 280 sleepers! Which makes a lot more sense as we had seemed to cover more distance than last week.
The gang also set about counting the remaining sleepers to Pipeline Crossing, 681 to go, which all being well is only two weeks worth of work, however we will allow a little longer to be safe, certainly by the end of April, which will leave us with a good bit of time to tackle new and exciting areas while we’ve got 5 days of track access.
Monday’s gang will be starting at Maldon 8am or out on site by Pipeline Crossing from 8.15am

Well done team on the mammoth efforts in re sleepering the line. This work sets the railway up for success later on should retailing occur. Your work provides maintenance free longevity going forward, and these reports of works are always welcome and well done to all.
side note, a line diagram that has indication of all these works in the overall scope of the length of line, would also provide context as to how you are going. Just my opinion, but again, well done💪
