Sleepers

Not raining, and  a bigger team, so more sleeper changing heading for Causey today:
Bill, Bob, Dave, Ken & Malcolm remove a sleeper
Malcolm cleaning holes after Bill drills them
Ken & Dave removing old ferrules .....
..... and a sleeper
Bill, Malcolm & Bob gauging, drilling & fixing
Ken, Dave & Bill insert a sleeper
Digging out sleeper beds, now with Geoff
Teamwork for pushing in a sleeper
We're on top of the world's oldest railway embankment,
hence it's awkward to support sleepers at the side
Bill was in similar pose & garb with
the drill on the telly last week
