2 “Signalling the Link” A presentation by Mike Walshaw, Swanage Railway Signal & Telegraph Dept.

3 “Project Wareham” will see the Swanage Railway linked with the Main Line at Worgret Junction under a Swanage Railway – Network Rail Partnership.

4 Show No.4 We look at the work carried out by Contractors to lay the Signalling Cable for the Token System between Norden and Wareham.

5 Cleveland Cables Ltd deliver 3 huge drums of cable to Norden

6 We crane them onto our Road-Railer Trailer for secure storage

7 Then we take delivery of more cable from Anixter!

8 And take it away for storage

9 Project Manager Mike Walshaw confers with the team from S&T Cover Ltd, who will lay and bury the cable for us.

10 S&T Cover hire this Road-Rail Caterpillar Digger

11 It joins our own Road-Railer!

12 S&T Cover get to work with this Mini Digger r

13 Hard at work, somewhere between Norden and Worgret Junction

14 Here an under-track crossing is being dug out

15 A drum of cable is brought from its secure storage location to be laid in the trench

16 And trundled down the Line behind a Road-Railer

17 The cable is carefully laid in the trench that has been dug for it

18 Men at work, somewhere in the wilds of Purbeck!

19 The cable sections are to be jointed together at Dis Boxes …

20 And terminated…

21 Tricky work indeed! That’s all for tonight!
