Fire, Fire Everywhere

The corridor completion of the Bankstown line for the infrastructure upgrade with concrete sleepers, new heavier rails and upgrading of the overhead wire was scheduled to be completed over three successive years using a major three-week closedown over the January period. This time was chosen as at this time of the year passenger numbers had decreased with a number taking annual leave during the school holidays. So, hiring sufficient buses to transport the remaining travelling public was achievable.

In the second of this three-week closedown, work was proceeding to plan with several construction and maintenance teams working on a number of locations along the corridor. The tracklayer, which lays the concrete sleepers, was working in the Campsie to Lakemba section with new rail laid behind and welded up into continuous lengths. It was a very hot January day with temperatures nearing 38 degrees.
