Here is the panel that will be moved by block and tackle, chains and sweat, to join up with the pointwork at the western end of the site. By the day's end, three panels will have been laboriously hauled into position.

A long way to go but it got there. The track panel seen in the background is a lighter track to what is being laid and will be used further down.
