Shadow Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 You'd have thought that they would have put new sleepers down at the same time. The one up from the start of the third rail doesn't look to good! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southernman46 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Well technically the stock rail has been renewed too - you'd never renew a switch or stock rail on its own.I'm guessing Bournemouth - 20?B points.I reckon this was done at short notice to remove an ultrasonic rail defect in the switch/stock rail hence the lack of closure rail renewal on the fronts & heels (which you'd most like as do on a planned replacement) - especially the front joint where a set of lift fishplates can be seen indicating worn rail adjacent - these joints would also be welded too as none appear to IBJ's. There'd be no time for spot timber renewal either.Not a bad job IMHO - some of AS screws look high but other than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
