Signalling progress at Aviemore - 9th and 10th March 2019

As part of the current Network Rail Re-Signalling scheme at Aviemore mainline, The Strathspey Railway have to integrate traditional methods with the 21st Century!

Thanks to Rob Law for photos and limited info, I believe a comprehensive wordy article is coming to "The Strathspey Express" (The Strathspey Railway Association Member's magazine) by Mr.S.Muirhead.
 
And yesterdays photos sent to me
 

via Colin Stirling, seen here trying to "unearth the lost cable"
 
 
Stephen posing here - sorry actually entitled - "Stephen doing some heavy work"!
 
 
And as the light faded the electric cables were suitably put to bed and Davy is possibly asking "are you finished with that hammer yet Stephen?"
