Cadbury's Sidings: mrcad905
A gang of Permanent Way men are seen replacing track
adjacent to Cadbury's exchange sidings on 3rd May 1953. On the left the new
track is being laid on to new and clean ballast. The section of track has been
pre-built with the rail fixed by wooden chocks to the cast iron chairs which in
turn are screwed to the timber sleepers. After they have been laid and aligned
to the correct cant etc ballast will be laid on top so that the top of the
ballast is the same height as the top of the sleepers - as seen in the new
section of track on the right.
