Weston Works

The effort at Weston continues. There is much to do clearing the trackbed ready for the main running line to be laid.

Years of growth need to be cut back to enable access for machinery and materials. This work needs to be done quickly if we are to remain on target.  With the recent wet weather it has churned up the trackbed a bit which will need more ballast to harden it up.

The push is on to extend the sidings up to where they will join the main line.  With this connection made we will be able to bring down materials currently stored at Oswestry.

Andy G was on hand to take some pictures.
We start with a view looking towards the brewery with the end of the siding playing temporary host to two narrow gauge skip wagons.

The second view is looking back towards the station from the current siding railhead.  Behind Andy the line runs back to Oswestry and will be passable by works trains for deliveries before not too long.

Hopefully the weather will improve soon so that we can push on with the station.

This weekend the team will continue to move materials into position in order to allow us to build further track panels.

Until next time.
