Sleepers

Only one pic today, however we’ve installed the 1 in 2 (a further 78 sleepers) and brought up enough sleepers to finish this off tomorrow, we were a few short.

We’ve also collected almost all of our last stocks of pandrol clips, so before we have another big effort, we’ll need to secure a good few more!

Tomorrow’s gang meeting at Maldon 8am or out by Woodlocks Ln shortly after.

Sleepers

We had a very successful albeit wet day today, we’ve inserted and clipped up the 1 in 4’s down to Woodlocks Ln, a total of 78 sleepers.

It was so cold and wet we actually built a fire, which proved to be very comfortable at break times.

Tomorrow’s crew will be business as usual, starting at Maldon around 8am then out on site shortly after.

Tuesday

Tomorrow’s weather is looking a little wet but not as much as was predicted last week, so we’ll take a punt and have a crack at knocking over the straight near Woodlocks Ln, meeting at Maldon at 8am or out on site shortly after.

Sleepers

Today’s effort to install the remaining 66 concrete sleepers needed to finish yesterday’s work went very smoothly.

There was a considerable cross fall (non level track) here and has been for some years, however we took the opportunity of this work to remove this and return the track to level, which went very smoothly and came up looking very smart.

There’s only around 320 sleepers left to reach Woodlocks Ln crossing now. Which weather dependant, should be completed next week.

A bit of a tidy up this afternoon left the section looking much smarter than it was earlier in the week.

Monday, being a holiday will of course be a day off, however we do plan on working as usual next week otherwise – there is rain predicted so that may change things on Tuesday, watch out here Monday arvo for any changes.
