Plasserail busy on the Simons Town line






Plasserail busy on the Simons Town line. It appears as if the round disks lift the track then the long metal arms (tampers) dig down into the ballast and shake it up a bit to reseat the track. The crew behind are checking the gauge as well as the distance between the two tracks. The Simons Town bound train is waiting in Muizenberg station for the Cape Town bound train to clear the line. All trains using the single track due to the maintenance on the line.
