From memory when a defect, or similar, needed marking without stopping the train whitewash was dropped onto the formation. All in the days before modern GPS etc., equipment could record the location electronically for later analysis, done analogue on site at the time.

Originally, the whitewash was poured from the toilet, IIRC. I remember watching one in action on the sea wall between Llanelli and Pembrey. The coach was an antediluvian Churchward one (this was the late 1960s), on the back of a service train 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
