The lineside workers soon got the line cleared and full service resumed quickly for the rest of the season. :thumbright:

Lucky though, it could have been much much worse, lucky no one was injured. :)

Wonderful photos. You've turned a (near) tragedy into a triumph there!

Thanks Aaron,
Now just have to wait until all the sawdust from the chainsaw blows away before I run an oily steam loco, battery for a bit I suspect.

Oh dear Grant now that is a pickle!

Seems a shame to lose all that lovely shade but I must say the town does look particularly lovely in full sun. Getting away with no damage like that id say its a good time to buy a tatts ticket :shock:

Luckily not a single piece of infrastructure was damaged however there is a massive clean up to be conducted and of course no trains will be running until all is clear.

Well, I am a great admirer of Grant's work but, in this instance, I did mean the little plastic chap...
