Preparing to move the cafe coach into its new location Pictures from 23/2/08

Looking East from the station, this mud pit is where the coach is to go

The JCB was used to level the ground before the sleepers were put in place

The JCB is still working!

Enough sleepers were in place so as to put the rails on them

The works train was used to deposit ballast, ready for filling in.

With all the sleepers in place, the main line was unscrewed and pushed across.

With both lines now slewed over, the track for the coach can be assembled.

Once assembled the coach can be pushed into place, then the job of moving the main running line back can begin. 

This coach waits at Redmire for its final movement.

Some pictures of the work being carried out at Redmire station.
