A road / rail digger owned by Hydrex stands at the start of the track replacement work.  The track panels had been loaded onto a train earlier in the day and diggers had loaded old ballast into trains such as the one in the distance.  Future trains into the work area will bring in fresh ballast and sleepers. When the rails have been added a tamping machine will ensure the line is smooth enough to carry passenger trains.
