Sometime ago Tuesday 13th of June was picked as the date for the whole line Weedkiller train, as there was no service trains planned, little did we know that the line had been hired out for a private operation, so we had to fit in with them,
on the plus side Signalmen were on duty easing operations, although a localised downpour stopped play for the day at Croftnahaven. Above clip from John who with Ian did Monday and Tuesday assisting S&T Squad work week at Boat of Garten,
doing what the P'Way squad are good at, digging holes manually in blistering heat!
Far too technical for mere P'Way Blogger to chronicle further! However Roddy, myself and Doug Scott (Chairman) filled them in Wednesday afternoon.
(more info may appear in S&T Blog?)
Thursday saw Alec start on the West Pit wall at the new Running Shed at Aviemore.
Normal P'Way Saturday, saw Georgie yet again on Diesel banking duties whilst this hot spell continues. However she left a "few" sleepers to pre-drill using the bullhead rail jig.
Apparently Iain asking Peter if the two done is enough!
Plenty of dis-tractions for the squad - The Three Peaks Charter train made a short notice Service stop at Boat of Garten, as there is a wash away on the Fort William line (passengers bussed from Kingussie to Ben Nevis) By the end of an exhausting day Mike, Peter & Iain managed to do 90 out of 320 in total which are destined for the big relay at Kinchurdy.
Thanks to all mentioned, Mike took last three photos.
