... topic: 4 SNCF sleepers posted: posted: 14 May 2007 02:46 from: BernieM4 The photograph, taken in April this year shows a track of one of the main platforms of Nice SNCF railway station. The wooden sleepers appear to be 'rough hewn' with some repairs visible. A TGV had just departed the station using this track. Does anyone know of sleepers anything like this in the UK?

They were on a secondary line, and were in effect simply round tree trucks with a flat cut out under each rail where the flatbottom rail was simply spiked through. regards Steve Stubbs Parts of Templot Club may not function unless you enable JavaScript (also called Active Scripting) in your browser.
