Hi Artless Just to let you know a lot of the rails were still in existence on site until the major rebuild/upgrades in 1999/2001 - most were taken up as the area 'S*** Alley' or 'Services corridor' as some of the managers called it was relaid for drainage improvements so the new Fibre Prep Plant equipment that went in the refurbished Beater floor - it was raised and a deep drain gulley was put in. In my 20 years there from '88-08 there was nothing left of the trains themselves we found other than rails. Though the covers you mention were still in No6 Annexe! These were used for putting in some of the electrical plant upstairs. Rails up the River side road also suffered the same fate when the whole road was re-laid and the old Pulp Yard re laid with new slabs, this ended up as the stock yard. The only remains of the Pulp conveyors were footings and some framework on the side of the bridge across to the island site.
