I presume they are replacing the rails with continuously welded ones like we have here to give a smoother and higher speed journey? Hard to make out but you also seem to have sleepers much closer together than we have here in broad gauge land - Ireland had has 5' 3" (160cm) as opposed to your narrower 4' 8 1/2". Also the dips and gradients over such a short distance as shown in No. 13 wouldn't be seen here. Levelling out would have been done at the initial stages when the very first tracks were laid. Some explanatory notes to each process illustrated would be great. Now that you're retired and have plenty of time :-) Douglas former member of the Irish Railway Record Society many moons ago On 02/01/2020 01:16, CartersXRd via LUG wrote: > The Daily Ric > Wednesday, January 1, 2020 > Maintenance of Way super show starring Norfolk Southern's R3 Dual Rail > Gang.
