- A look at an UP trip (city bound) of the new slew track built beside the original track to allow trains to continue to run whilst the new station gets built in the original track position.
Parker’s Road and Warrigal Road are brand new purpose built crossings to allow traffic to flow.
Thanks for watching!
This is a bit of history that will come and go quickly.
Well Car’n see where he’s going,But I can certainly see where he’s been 🤔🙃😂🤣🫠😁
Thanks for watching!
Has a slew track been used elsewhere during Skyrail building? It's a good idea I guess when short on space. I worked at Mentone in the mid 80's, when they still had the semaphore signals operating. I had a dreadful Station Master, and got threatened late one night, so it definitely wasn't a lot of good memories.
The slew track hasn’t been used often with skyrail. A lot of the tracks curve before it elevates. This is a rare one. Think East Pakenham got one too. Might be the new practic.
It was slewed it at Carrum.
@@BlackCat-fr4ue I don’t think it was looking at the curve leading up to the skyrail.
@@smarTarraY2000 Believe what you want. I live close by and saw it built, used and dismantled.
@@BlackCat-fr4ue if that’s what they did, that’s what they did. Just looks like with the curve that it was built to the side of original track.
Can someone tell me what slew track is? I’m curious
It’s a track that goes to the side. Slews off. Something that is pushed to the side.
Thanks for watching!
We didn’t want to close the track for 6-9 months while we built the U-Trough structure. We were lucky that there was the land adjacent to the corridor to allow us to build temporary tracks alongside the construction site, even though it meant a long closure of Parkdale station.
@@xtrapolis954m not long to go now. It has kept that Frankston line running nicely.
Thanks for watching!!
How did you get this shot in general?
Perks of work.
