Deck of a bridge

This bridge carries the A1175 over the River Welland to the south of Spalding. The A1175 is the road formally the route of the A16 between Spalding Common and Stamford, but when the bypass was built to the east of Spalding in 1995, this route was extended over the Welland to connect with the new route of the A16, which now goes down to join the Peterborough ring roads by passing to the east of Crownland.

Across the Welland

This is the bridge seen in TF2319 : Deck of a bridge, from the Southern side. Built in 1995 as part of the Spalding Bypass scheme, the similarities to TF2625 : Bypass over the Welland at the other end of the town are obvious. These two are the most modern bridges across the Welland.

The track down to the riverbank

The riverbank in question is, as the sign on the bridge says, the River Welland.

Railway crossing South Drove Drain

Jonathan Thacker

Crossing Closed

The level crossing on South Drove was used as part of the works in Deeping St Nicholas (and the two accommodation crossings between there and here), to give access for maintenance vehicles. Here it has been briefly closed.

Bridge over fenland drain

The railway line to Spalding carried over the South Drove Drain.

Railway machinery

A road-rail machine with two flat cars. It is coming here to clear the line so that possession can be relinquished by the maintainers in due course. The machine is based on a Komatsu PW160 excavator with liftable rail wheels added, and some towing eyes for the trucks.

Bob Harvey

Taking a bow

The rail trucks have been uncoupled, and the machine is making the transition to road wheels - the rail wheels at the back are being raised, which lowers the road wheels onto the ground. The transition is complete in TF2219 : All-square.

All-square

After TF2219 : Taking a bow The front rail wheels were lifted and the machine is standing on rubber tyres.

Bob Harvey

Recovering the rail truck

After TF2219 : All-square saw the powered unit leave the railway, it used it's lifting arm to recover one of the towed rail trucks, which will be stored in the crossing yard.

Bob Harvey

A careful manoeuvre

The forward rail truck from the machine seen in TF2219 : Railway machinery needed recovering, but a straight lift was not a good idea. Those overhead wires are 11kV and no-one likes to get those involved. The lifting chains were hooked to the truck which was dragged sideways before lifting it. You can see that two of the lifting chains are under tension.
