Looking north at the sta rt of the 'narrow section'

Date: 13th July 2003

The view looking around the curve that takes the line over the Turners Hill Road bridge (out of sight in the camera), and where for a short distance the Bluebell was only able to purchase half of the original trackbed, hence the rails being laid on the west (up) side of the embankment.

This picture was taken shortly after this section of track was laid. The transition from wooden to concrete sleepers is visible just past the signal-post, the latter formerly hosting the Horsted Keynes down inner-home signal, and installed just a short while before the photo was taken.
