Work on the pumphouse siding again, more new (ish) sleepers in, more piles of soggy rotten rubbish coming out....

rotten sleeper
This sleeper was more swept up than pulled up....!

multitasking
Multitasking and interaction with other departments are no problem for the pway gang, seen here lending the S+T boys a few hands to pull up the crossing at the end of the platforms and assist with the preparation for drilling the rails.  I'm not entirely sure what Techno and the gang were up to, but I think it was to do with the track circuits....

drilling rig
This machine quickly cuts two holes in each rail for the parts that the wires attach to, if you can get it started!

new bits
More replacement chairs going in....

smoke
No, Mark hasn't started a fire with his usual heroic work rate, someone nearby was having a bonfire!
