Lots of jobs going on around the bridge, the trackbed is being rolled and prepared. There was also an additional visitor as a bird of prey had lunch alongside the track.
Firstly the drains are now all covered and the track base is being rolled, the tidy up of the site has also begun with some items being positioned ready for removal
The level boards are back to be able to set the final track and ballast levels
Work goes on with grading and levelling the trackbed with the dumper bringing in additional fill as required.
This small roller has being in action consolidating the ground under the trackbed
Here you can see the rolled bed ready for ballasting
The trackbed has been used by many creatures. Here a sparrow hawk has lunch following a hunt along the railway. He barely stopped as Guy took the picture.
Under the bridge work is continuing with the sandblasting and painting of the steel work
The whole of the steelwork is being painted to ensure another trouble free pair of decades or so
Even the detail wok of the jacks are being prepared and painted.
Here you can see some of the beams already finished
The sandblasting equipment is standing by ready for another bout.
Here we are looking along the compacted trackbed, ready for final rolling and ballast.
Here is a rolled section, not long before the team start to lay track.
Help is on hand for moving earth and ballast
A view back along the track as various jobs are finished off.
Thanks to Guy N for the pictures.
Until next time
