Ian studying the progress at the end of the day
There is a rail to straighten, then one 60' panel with replacement sleepers to put into place, all keying, fishplating and alignment to do, then ballasting, followed by making good the platform and removing old materials..   The target is still to get Causey station usable by the weekend.
