Sunday morning maintenance work on the level crossing is in progress by Balfour Beatty here. The cranes are hired in from Hydrex http://www.hydrex.co.uk/pages/aboutus.htm and have both road wheels with tyres and steel rail wheels with flanges. From a Geograph point of view the Ordnance Survey large scale maps show the 177000 Northing grid line just clipping across the top of the far corner of the level crossing here.
