Yeah very busy with bridge jobs along there,just done one in Preston this week end,Ainscough lifted this one out,no pics this week I'm afraid,had to get a move on with the weather!Think there's another coming out next week end,different job to my pics,Baldwins must have been busy!

Was a rail bridge nr Preston wk end 9/10/11 Nov,think they were heading for N Wales on the mon then????

Few pics of crane on rail bridge job at week end,lifted out old steel bridge deck,in one piece 40t,heaviest bit lifted in was 80t concrete parapet.

Thanks a lot guys!
Hope the entries come 'flooding' in for November!

Checking the water level!Not a pre start check of the radiator!

Bit of everything!Hitachi 13t long reach wading , track dumper ,Hitachi loading stone,drillers on face using dth to drill in rock for anchors,one thing in common,very wet!

Don't see this too often,thank goodness!(other expressions also available!)

Typical West Cumbria summer,least it keeps the dust down,'marra'!

Totally agree a permanent job means the jobs permanent,not you!If your self employed you expect ups n downs,but if your up to much,word of mouth will be your best advert!Been self employed,but as machine driver last 5 years,wish I'd done it earlier!
