Update :- Track Gang at Coldham in Mid May

Over the last month, a number of things have been going on, in and around the track. In May, the opportunity was taken to do some light maintainence at Coldham Level Crossing. Following vandalism there, we have been showing a High Profile of going there. We decided the ground around the crossing was starting to look tatty, so went ahead clearing it. Below is a Before picture taken a couple of weeks before hand.

As you can see the grass goes over the site of the Down Road which was taken out years ago and the fencing. Now you can see the difference in these shots below:
As you can see, the grass has been cleared right back from the road to the crossing. You will also notice, the weeds are now starting to grow again, and the fence, which was only recently painted, is starting to be covered by weeds.
A much neater appearance to the recently repainted gates can be seen, the only thing missing now is the red target on the crossing gate. To help with the clearing, our resident Ray helped with the Roadsweeping.
After clearing the crossing, it was noticed that the securing bolts on Coldham Level Crossing had started to work loose. We decided to tighten the blots as we had to the tools necessary to do so with us. Below you can see the work in progress, everything that is good about the Bramley Line..... Teamwork.
