Wet Day at Tanfield

The works train passing under Gibraltar Bridge
Geoff & Bob placing sleepers in ET loop
Nigel slinging to Ian on the digger
Geoff & Bob setting out more CS1Ss
Nigel & Bob slinging the last few sleepers
Ian pointing out a bit of history unearthed in current earthworks
- the footings for a wall of the brickworks at ET, which also
indicates the original track alignment across Tanfield Lane
Geoff operating the ground frame while bogies
with the rail for the run round loop are shunted 

Nigel assisting Ian to unload rail into the four foot .....
..... while Geoff & Bob look on
The bogies being doubled up for the return journey
Geoff, Nigel & .....
..... Bob remove fishplates from the south end point
Ian tidying up the nearby earthworks
