Oswestry North

At the North end of the station we are now seeing almost clearly up to the medical crossing, you can see the old works on the right hand side of this picture.  Of note is the lack of the sleeper pile and the goods stock that was stored in this area.  Over 1'000 sleepers have been processed in this area and it will now take on a new lease of life as part of the railway. 

This is what remains and behind you can see the crossing and the distinctive footbridge to the works.  In the foreground are the unusable sleepers which are waiting to have the chairs and fixings removed before being put to other non track supporting uses.  Some of these literally fall apart in your hands as you try to move them.

Now after all this talk about sleepers what we need are some gates.....

Until next time.
