This photograph shows the temporary track constructed under the hanging (or dangling loco) now almost complete. The PWI and other people are busy fixing the track properly to the wooden sleepers. There was one man carrying the gauge for ensuring that the two rails are exactly five feet six inches apart. All this work was being done by these railway men without any thought to the dangerous monster hanging above. A Damocles sword can only cut your neck. A WDG-2 can crush you to pulp.
