Track maintenance update
Jantjie and his team have moved to Vailima. This is the most remote and distant section of our line. It comes under a lot of pressure from the local population, as well as from nature. The gradients are challenging and drainage is an issue.
The photographs below show Jantjie and his team realigning sections of the track, as well as lifting, repacking, and re-enforcing sections that are not up to specification. These sections will then be reballasted.
A works train is planned for October to improve the drainage culverts, plant grass, and remove trees that interfere with the line. A full report on that will follow.
