Sunnyside Junction
Rail services have resumed after the route through Coatbridge Sunnyside was closed following the incident last Friday. Network Rail re-opened the railway through Coatbridge Sunnyside this morning following a train derailment last week. Normal service has resumed after engineers worked around-the-clock throughout the weekend to rerail the train and repair significant damage to the track. Our team replaced four half switches - moveable sections of track which move trains from one line to another - while specialist 'tamping' equipment was also used to re-align other parts of the track. [View shows the crossover west of the junction. The closed and disconnected line, latterly serving Gunnie cement, is at the top of the view. The junction for Whifflet is out of shot to the right. -RS]
