Tanfield Track Reinstatement

Ian removing sleepers & reducing the bed
Dave, Bill, Steve & Nigel removing a length from the
run round loop to accommodate the resited point
Geoff, Nigel & Dave remove another length
Moving the run round loop rail out of the way
Replacing crossing timbers .....
..... in the resited loop point
The loop point has been moved south of the  bay point,
which gives a larger radius curve into East Tanfield
Ian reducing the bed .....
..... and giving a hand with the heavier crossing timbers
Peter fishplating
Replacing rail through the point - we aim to reconnect
through the station to the off loading headshunt asap
Setting out the CS1s through East Tanfield station .....
..... before running out of sleepers for the day
