Sunny East Tanfield Bay

Vic on his way to work

Recall that the main line is joined up from East Tanfield to Sunniside, but in need of ballasting, inter alia.   We have branched to East Tanfield bay, where the sleepers and light rail are to be replaced .....

Eric, John & Malcolm start dismantling .....

..... as do Philip, Dave & Geoff

John unscrewing, Malcolm & Dave dekeying

Geoff, Philip & Eric removing some fishplates .....

..... and more fishplates

John tipping out the last rail

Loading the waggon with retrieved S1 chairs ......

..... screws, keys, etc - this leaves the way clear
for plant to handle rail, sleepers & ballast

Malcolm keeping a lookout on the Husky

At Andrews House, passing Vic on his way home
