The Mid Week team has been very sucessful in getting to know a number of parties around the railway line between Wisbech and March. On Wednesday, the Mid Week team was fortunate enough to be allowed to join a team of Network Rail staff who where training on Re-Sleepering between Coldham and Chain Bridge.
The sleepers Ballast is dug out and the sleeper is ready to be removed below:
The Sleeper, having been lifted out, the chairs remain suspended in mid air.
Now, with a new sleeper in place, the ballast is repacked and put back in place.
A lot was learnt from the day, and we are extremely grateful to the Network Rail staff who allowed us to accompany them. We return to working at Waldersea this Sunday from 9.30am. If you wish to get involved, please get in touch at bramley_line@yahoo.com
