Today was spent preparing the next section to be resleepered, the short stretch to the curve. It’s unfortunate hard, dust and today it was also very hot work.
It’s been marked up and the concrete sleepers spaced out ready to go in where required. There is 300 sleepers to install to get down to the occupation crossing and another 25-30 to join up with curve 20.
It is probably a bit ambitious for next week’s weather forecast. However, it is certainly achievable before Christmas.
We’ll be into it in haste on Tuesday to try knock over as much as we can, the more hands the merrier, meeting at Maldon 8am on Tuesday.
The following is a collection of pics that show off the long stretch of concretes.
