Sleepers

A very successful day today, getting up and over the crest of the rise.

It was a very nice feeling being able to look over the rise and see the concretes beyond, only a short gap to fill now!

Today saw us install 159 sleepers, all clipped up but awaiting a jack and pack.

We even had a guest visit today, Matt from McLeod Rail, coming to see how the pour cousins of the railway world make do with what they’ve got!

It’s hard to see, however the gap of remaining timber can be just seen behind the digger. Hopefully, with a concerted effort, next week should see that removed, giving us continuous concrete sleepers from Maldon to Pipeline Crossing.

Tomorrow’s crew will spend most of the day preparing for the next section, however if that goes to plan, we might get a few more sleepers installed. Meeting at Maldon at 8am or on site from 8.15am.
