Progress on Carriage Shelter works, Thursday 7th August

Good progress made today (7/8/25) on the installation and mounting of the point operating lever and the retaining wall. (See image).
 

With the assistance of Nick Sampson's vehicle mounted HIAB, all the track panels were lifted from the headshunt and stacked  on the bogie flat wagon so that our contractor can commence excavating and casting the concrete beams which will support the portal frames of the carriage shelter. Once cast, ballast will be laid and the track panels put back, replacing sleepers and fittings where required. Once the track is packed and levelled, the erection of the portal frames can commence before the shelter is clad.
