Only Trackwork .....

..... because noone else was in today.
Placing the first replacement panel .....
..... fastening the temporary 30' rails .....
..... and repeat
Looking down the formation which Vic levelled yesterday,
with Ian removing the remaining material at Boyd's crossing

Looks like everything's orange - including
the reflected glow in the Husky's cab

At Boyd's crossing (aka Causey Bankwell Farm), the old panels have been removed, most transported back to Marley Hill, the track bed roughly levelled, and 13 of 20 temporary panels are basically in place.   However, a large amount of work remains - 7 more panels to be placed, all 20 panels to be fishplated, aligned and ballasted, all 30' rails to be swapped for 60' lengths - and the there are other schemes to be completed within the closure.

If you'd like to lend a hand - ring Ian on 07973855157 or Derek on 07969146642.
