Cable Covering

 Tuesday 16th April

Back again to the viaduct today to finish off. The large cable passing over the viaduct is not fully protected at the northern end, so some additional troughs need positioning into the ballast

We took the route via Stanton "yard" with the blue pickup and drove slowly and bumpily trackside up to the viaduct with a load of concrete cable troughs - before the first train of the day.

Plenty of hands to dig away the fresh ballast and set the troughs in position

Job done with cable now well protected. John P, John B, Neil C and Peter W surveying the Job!

No wasted return journeys so we retreived a pile of cut-off dipped rail ends destined for the skip

The roof struts for our new S & T workshop are now beginning to appear in position 

in the Winchcombe yard
