Have a look at how they are concreting in the rails at Box Hill. Each
rail is individually set in concrete with the sleepers floating above
the track bed. I would guess that this method of construction is a

Interesting to notice that the Box Hill works are using concrete
sleepers, but the Victoria Gardens work seems to be the old-style
metal rods on concrete blocks. Both sections of track are going to
be grassed, I believe.
