Sleepers

It turns out that we haven’t lost our touch, we very comfortably installed 100 concrete sleepers today, on the up side of the old tip crossing.

The day didn’t begin well, with the digger throwing a tantrum as a result of it raining, however once we drained the water from the lead going to the effected solenoid, it all went like a charm.

It was noting revolutionary or exciting, however it 100 less that need replacing now.

The top of the hill still seems a fair way off, however it’s certainly seeming like a smaller gap to fill now!

In other good news, we’ve been working with the local council and we’ve managed to lock in 2 level crossing renewals in the immediate future.

Woodlocks Lane will be next Thursday and Friday, details will be posted  next week.

Sawmill Road will be on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th September. This will be a big milestone, marking the end of the re-railing project!

Tomorrow’s crew will be continuing on with sleepers, we’ve still got 20 to install to complete the current job, all going well we might be able to attempt a further 40 sleepers before we begin the task of tidying up the old timber etc… meeting out on site (old tip xing) from 8am.
