Engineering Work

What weather ,possibly the worst continuous time whilst trying to take photos.
After a great delay with the heavy lift crane being  faulty since Friday, it appears the new part has been fitted today.
No work seems to be going on,on the Hayle Viaduct.
The point & track towards Penzance west of St.Erth station had attention y/day when I got thoroughly soaked twice!!
Camborne this morning was no better with a great diversion to get to the station then a soaking with 66528 choking me with its exhaust fumes!!

Martin Scane writes,  We have just spent a couple of days in Teignmouth primarily to attend Network Rail’s consultation event on their proposals for the realignment of the track between Parson’s Tunnel and Teignmouth. Anyway, I managed a few photos today in amongst the showers.
