Mainly Trackwork Again

We removed the remaining 75 lb/yd FB panels at Boyd's crossing today.   Tomorrow we should be able to start laying the replacement 109 lb/yd FB panels.

Volunteers are always welcome, especially to help us progress this type of work over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, back in the workshop .....
