Hercules - sleepers, good and bad

Post by John Ashworth »

The track has now been dug out all the way to the eastern end of the platform headshunt. It's steel sleepers, apparently in reasonably good condition. But some of the wooden sleepers on the points next to the office are pretty rotten and will need replacing eventually.
