Preparing

We had quite a big day today, preparing for an intensive week of sleeper and point timbers replacements in the track parallel with V/Line in Castlemaine.

V/line is undertaking various works on the Bendigo line from the 22nd Feb until the 6th March, which gives us an ideal opportunity to remove as many of the remaining timber sleepers as possible.

We’ll also use the chance to renew some point timbers and get on top of a few foliage issues.

Next week, we’ll have workdays every weekday, starting at the Castlemaine Depot at 7.30am or out on the worksite around 8am, all being well we’ll comfortably knock it over in a few days, but it’s always best to built in some contingency.

Tomorrow’s crew will be starting at Maldon to bring in a works train, loaded with sleepers and point timbers, in readiness for the works. Meeting at Maldon 8am.
