Title: Track relaying
Post by: lukeo25 on April 07, 2010, 11:46:51 AM
When i was passing through fyshwick earlier this morning for a job interview i noticed some track work being done, it looked like they where taking out the wooden sleepers and what i suspect they are doing they might be placing concrete in place or was it just routine track work or where they lifting the old track

Tell me about it, even New Zealand is leaping forward quicker than that of the Canberra Branch! However seeing as though Xplorer's only run past Tarago, well I can see why they don't want to spend money on the line. Atleast concrete it to Crisps Creek.
