Well, it turns out that declaring yesterday hot was an understatement… today eclipsed that – probably not temperature wise but certainly in regards to humidity and lack of wind. It was horrid.
However we did get the remaining 80 sleepers inserted and clipped up as well as fixing a ramp at the UP end for trains this weekend.
That’s all that’s left to go now, until we can proudly say that 1/4 of our railway is 100% concrete sleepered. It’s roughly 170 sleepers, pretty much the same as this week in the adverse conditions.
We should comfortably knock it over next week, as the temperature is far more attractive at mid 20s.
Tuesday’s crew will meet at Maldon at 8am, then out on site shortly after.
