Stanway Viaduct Track Laying 2


05 Nov 05
In just two days of track laying the viaduct has been crossed ! Even though this is only another 210 yards of track, suddenly Broadway doesn't seem quite so far away.

The pictures show :
1) Its a long way down
2) Mikey and Nigel drilling fishplate holes
3) The last wooden sleepers are laid
4) First 'train' over the viaduct !
5) Group P.Way shot
6) View north, with track now over the viaduct

Also please click here for details of recent bridge clearance work by the railway's Building and Services department.
Not long now until the first works train can cross, just another week or two to lay some track the other side to park it !
