Chief civil engineer of the San Juan Central RR has been out to check the paddy field that the railway has to cross, and can now confirm that the water table is some six inches below ground level. :clap::clap: He states that if he were to build a race course the going would be classed as soft. Not withstanding that if the weather warms up as is forecast for later this week, work will recommence on grading with a view to opening of the San Juan Central on the 15th of September this year. :)

Well four sunny days on the trot, and some more done on the San Juan Central. Starting to raise the track foundations up to their correct levels.
