Midweek oiling towards Broomhill

 
Having now completed the Aviemore section, today a start was made on fish-plate oiling from Boat of Garten to Broomhill. In the background two things can be seen firstly, the fenced off area is going to be a temporary storage compound for the company Laing O'Rourke, who are going to be doing Sewerage works in the Boat of Garten area. In exchange for this we will get 200 tonnes of ballast.   Secondly, just to the left of Mike's felt  hat (father's Burma WWII hat ), has very recently appeared the shiny, new sign below


 
which certainly brightens up the Mobile Plant Shed ("Morley's Mansion") but its a pity the Fire Station closed more than a year ago!


 
Royal Scotsman awaits departure this morning, notice the cleared, old coal loading area.  The recent weed killing has definitely taken effect.
