SGR Construction...Track Laying Machine....

[Malaika Firth]

Well i remember ranting here some time back that the rail is being done by hand while there exist technology to automate this process like this here


...well i was reliably informed that the manual track laying was only for the section connecting the Bridge Guiders and sleepers Factory in Emali to the main line....

so lo and behold the track laying machine has finally arrived....and it was spotted somewhere...

Visit the railway Museum for starters hapo tu Railway Station...is like 100 bob and bargain with the tour guide to take you round..he has a wealth of information and you will enjoy so much..and the pics you will get are epic....To get pictures of the local trains i would suggest on a weekday take the 2nd syokimau train fromTown...it leaves at around 8.15 or there bouts...you can confirm the time from their website...and ride it to Syokimau and back....it will be a morning well spent...then you can take all the pictures you want

Mentioning trains and @msalame grace in the same sentence reminds me of this ...
