Love the livery of the train :o) Wish we had mainline trains like these! The train has a wonderful name too.. Orange City Express... when will NGP get a real train like that?

Cutting edge! A well is casted over this and is assisted to sink in the bed by additional weights (kentledge). A cap is casted after sinking to predetermined depth and pier is constructed over the cap.
