The Completion of the Cantenary Cable between Moorhouse & Ferrymead Stations.

About twelve keen men attended Ferrymead on November 11th 2005 and put in place the Catenary cable between Morrhouse and Ferrymead.
It was an excellent day for the project and after a few problems the cable know runs the total length of the line.
First problem petrol pump on Pie-Cart (PW1) stopped no go and one end on the drum came out unexpectantly but these small items did not put off the workers and by 5pm the cable was up and tensioned to 1800 Lbs.

The start of the day.
