Re: [Melb] Heidelberg-Greensborough resignalling

: They had occupation from Clifton Hill - Macleod this Sunday past (9th
: Jan), I went and took a look, in the section Heidelberg-Rosanna new
: galvanised (silver) signal posts have been erected adjacent to the
: existing posts (which are painted steel posts carrying three-position
: colour lights).  The new posts are much lower than the old.  Cables were
: being layed in the cutting at the up end of Heidelberg.  The down
: departure signal at Heidelberg was removed from the down platform while
: I was there - I presume the new one was put in before recommencing
: service.  The frame appears to have survived for this weekend at least,
: but it's days are numbere.....

It will be a bit more yet.

Points 11, 21 and 24 need to be removed (all spiked and out of use).

All signals from Rosanna will be replaced with LED style ones and renumbered
into the Metrol style numbering (eg HDB100), the relay room (up end) was being
fitted out and the track circuits were being replaced.

There will be a weekend for the points to be removed (which will be made up
somewhere in the next few weeks) and then a weekend after that for the
transition from the frame to the panel.

It is expected to be finished in March and then off to Broadmeadows.
