Rerailing

A very successful day today work wise, however only a very slight improvement photo wise unfortunately…

And yes unfortunately one is just a zoomed in view of the other.

What it’s showing, of attempting to, is that the down leg is now continuously 80lb rail, from Midland Hwy Crossing to Sawmill Road!

The rail is all cut in and bolted up, however so far it’s only fastened up in about 12 locations across the bridge, to match up with the theodolite marks from earlier in the week. First job tomorrow will be to complete a 1 in 4 tie up of this rail, so we can begin work on the other leg.

Hopefully, there will be more photos tomorrow, to explain the process much better than words. However it’s very simple, just more time consuming than plain normal track.

Tomorrow’s crew, collecting the yellow truck from Maldon at 7.45am then out on site from 8.30am.
