Mixed Traffic end of May 2014

 
 
 
 Class 37516/685 warming up to depart Boat of Garten with the Royal Scotsman 29/05/14 Class 37s likely to be hauling it for the foreseeable future since Network Rail have altered the route availability of the Inverness - Kyle line, therefore restricted the use of class 47/57s
 
 
 
 

and the same day, our currently multi-coloured Rail Crane preparing to lift 
 carriage bogies at Aviemore, saving the cost of the hire of a crane. Soon to be taken to the other end of the line for PWay work on the Dulnain Bridge. (both photos and info M.Tough)
 
 
 
 
On the 31st May an extra PWay day was organised to make up for lost time when the Jacker Packer burst a hydraulic hose. We hope to be able to source some spare parts for future inevitable such failures, as it is turning out to be an invaluable asset. I think 13 panels were completed on the rather warm day.(rest assured the high viz vest was replaced just after this shot was taken by J.Wood) pity the shorts weren't !
