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? |

I don't know about the UK, but I have some photos somewhere of French sleepers taken in Alsace some years back. 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 |
