Maldon Yard

We had quite a successful day today, with another very cold start!

Be began by squeezing up yesterday’s work, before moving onto disassembling the old trolley road, to give us some space to work while we tackled the next bit.

The next bit being beside the water column. It was all steel sleepers however the rail foot was corroding badly and had resulted in wide gauge, so the easiest and quickest solution is to whip it out the lot and replace with concrete and newer rails.

We’ve fitted and roughly compacted the gravel in the turnout, ready for a bit of rain tomorrow to settle it.

We’ll be meeting at Maldon at 8am tomorrow, we’re well finish off the bit next to the water column and get it usable, then we’ll begin a big clean-up!
