Gareth Thornton Signaller at Goonbarrow Junction writes - Hi Keith, as promised a few more smudges of the Orange Army in action at Goonbarrow. Sorry about the quality but the lighting was tricky! We've had some heavy metal up here and a huge amount of manpower who really have pulled out all the stops. In less than 24hrs the up main and all its ballast has been removed. New ballast and sleepers laid and new rails fitted. The tamper should be in on Sunday and normal service will resume on Monday, train passengers being none the wiser about what a hive of activity this little place has been. Also included is a shot of our frames three newly redundant levers. Sad days indeed!
Best wishes Gareth
