SLR - Extensions proceeding




 Went for a walk yesterday between Wentworth Park and Harold Park.

 Wentworth Park station - earth works in progress for the extra
track and platform. Looks like they are quite close to dropping
some track down and building a platform. A pile of concrete sleepers
was nearby. A fence has been built around the work site, but it appears
the fence is to keep construction workers clear of the running
line more than any thing else.

 The steel truss bridge on the western side of Wentworth Park is being
repair - it shows many places where minor work has been done to the
steel work to tackle corrosion.

 The site of the Bridge road station isnt yet clear, although there
has been a lot of clearing done around the bridge - however Id guess 
that the station it self will be about 20 metres east of the tunnel
portal. 

 Jubilee Park station's location is now quite clear with the earth
works well advanced. (About 20 metres west of the tunnel portal, behind
Harold Park). While standing above the western portal of the tunnel, a
hi-rail equipped flat bed truck covered in tree branches backed up the
line from the west and switched modes and drove into the depot.

 Jubilee Park appears to be where ABB have setup their depot, the work
depot sign looks rather familar - I think they kept the previous sign!

 I've got some photos, but haven't had time to put them online
yet.

 Hopefully I'll be able to keep a running log of Photographs, but time
constraints will probably keep me from covering the Rozelle end very
well - its a long walk from my office :-)
