I went to Lincoln today to see what was going on. Whilst there I had a long chat to the Network Rail man in charge of the operation replacing trackage and installing a new crossover just past the level crossing on the Sleaford line.
He told me that the new crossover trackage had been pre-fabricated in the sidings near the old diesel depot beyond East Holmes, and that it would be moved on dollies through the station in the evening.
So my wife and I went back and got masses of photographs and video of the whole movement from Brayford to the installation site. The Network Rail man was pleased we had come back to see the movement. We received very full explanations of what would happen, and was happening. fascinating to see this very impressive piece of equipment in operation.
Will post pictures and links to video soon.
