Tuesday 9th Feb
Back to Bishops Ceeve foot crossing today to install a lineside cabinet for the connection of the cables. A bit of digging required by John P to prepare a hole large enough for the Poetcrete to secure it - plus a bit of hammering in. A length of point rodding for mounting a cabinet is ideal.
Here it is in position
The trench has now been dug from here to the station road bridge ready for the cable to be laid on Wednesday. This will be the limit of new cable for now. It will be connected to the existing cable until we continue with the next phase.
And here the cable will pass here under the foot crossing through the tube
Attention will now move to re- installing the point motor on the new points at CRC next week.

Thanks for the update. The installation looks very neat. Hope the 'little
ReplyDeleteHerberts' at Bishops Cleeve leave the cables alone.
Regards, Paul.
