Bedlam Lane Crossing: misc_covgas3208
Close up showing the method of securing crossing timbers for
road vehicles at Bedlam Lane crossing during the Winter of 1971. With the
passage of time the continual road traffic used to loosen the bolts which held
the timbers in place and when cars or lorries crossed they made a rattling
noise. Platelayers would therefore have to check the timbers were kept tight
along with ensuring the keys were tight between the chairs and rails.
