G'day all,

What happened to the track once unearthed?

Was it recovered, or dug up?

If dug up, where did it go?

Cheers

Bob in Perth

Yes indeed - one at every pulley.

Here's a pic of a cover ( a bit covered in dirt!) on the Abbotsford St line
un-earthed in 2007.

On 'pull curves' the pulleys and covers were much more closely spaced.
