Some jobs for during the week

Following the resurfacing of the road between Coldham and Waldersea, a lot of the equipment being used was stored on the Railway crossing. This led to the old tarmac coming up, and a test of the gate was done, and found that the crossing gates would not close over the road.

Some work later, we got rid of the tarmac coming up and a test of the gate was done, some photos shown below.

Seeing the crossing over the road now, all we would like to see is a nice Green DMU or Steam Loco and some coaches going over, but lets not get carried away to soon! Having returned and locked up the crossing, we tided the area up at the side of the road and then moved on to the Bridge a Waldersea. We cut back a lot of the brambles preventing the gate from closing, and went to work on a Tree which was obscuring the bridge.

From there a walk of the line was done between Whitemoor Yard and Chain Bridge Level Crossing. A Survey of work needing done in this area was undertaken, and counted 6 sleepers which needed replaced, some vegetation which needs cut back towards Chain Bridge.

Sunday we will be working on the section between Elm Road Crossing and Chain Bridge. If you wish to get involved please come along. We start at 9.30am.
