Thanks to CHR Facebook here are some pictures of progress at Weston. The team have been ballasting the goods sidings and working their way up to the point on the running line.
We start the picture survey at the north end of the site, at the point which connects the main line to the sidings. There is still some work left to complete the point but the materials are now in position. At this point the slight curve to the right to enter in to Weston station starts, the station site is just to the right of the centre of the picture.
After the first point we have a section of track alongside the remaining stable part of the original wharf. Over the years the original wall had been modified and extended with varying degrees of success. Some parts were stable and on suitable foundations and others were unstable and fell down over the years. This view shows the recently ballasted track alongside the original wharf wall. This leads to the point for the two goods sidings.
The final picture shows the now ballasted point next to the new section of wall. The position of the platform and run round loop is in the cleared area on the left.
A very big thank you to all the volunteers who have been moving and ballasting the track by hand. Thanks to CHR for the pictures.
Until next time.
