Intercast & Forge
With a total length of 120km, the electrification and track upgrading of the Adelaide metropolitan rail and tram network is a massive program. The management of turnouts has been a particularly difficult issue given the requirement to provide for potential standardising of the broad gauge trackwork and the need to meet future service demands.PTS standard 60kg 1 in 8 turnouts will be viewed and also new 50kg 1 in 8 gauge convertible siding turnouts at the new Dry Creek Depot. In addition the tram BW turnouts, specifically designed to be fully checked and installed on the ballasted sections of the tramline will be visited.
Due to a maintenence shutdown scheduled for the plant during the week of 18th - 22nd July, a visit to Intercast & Forge is unfortunately no longer possible. We apologise for this situation. For information on Intercast & Forge, Australiaôs largest iron casting foundry visit, www.intercast.com.au
