Weston Ways

Thursday at Weston brought very visual progress with the first of the sleepers laid on the main line towards the station.

Andy G was on hand to capture events throughout the day.

With the rail to the left acting as a guide, Glyn in the JCB has swung the concrete sleepers into place so that John and Dave can set them in position using a spacer to set the correct distance. Once on a roll the sleepers go down fairly quickly, behind them you can see those already laid.

Looking south towards the station site at the end of the day you can see it's not much further until we reach the start of the prefabricated platform, just a little beyond where the JCB is parked.

Turning round and looking north we can see the great work done by the team during the day.

The last view is looking from the site of the loop point and you can see where the freshly laid sleepers start.

We will continue when possible with work on the project but in these uncertain times we do not know what will happen.

Thanks to all of the volunteers who came to help and to Andy G for the pictures.

Hoping the next time is soon!
