A challenging week at Telford Steam Railway excavating 30m of track encased in tarmac, concrete and spoil from the engine shed across a public access crossing before installing new concrete sleepers with FB rail and a 27m Strail Crossing system. The work required a week long road closure and thermic welding of track panels. The project was completed ahead of schedule and to the satisfaction of the client. Special mention to BCL director Karen Foster who spent the week preventing interested locals wandering around the worksite, and to our Newcastle team who worked tirelessly through to 9pm on Friday to complete the works. Also Jonathon Quin at Quin Plant, the Haigh Rail weld team, Billy from L&M Surveys and of course Chris Whitehead and the Telford Steam Railway Volunteers without whose support we could not have completed the work.
