what exactly is Preblocking?? The tracks and cement sleepers look new though?

I too dont know. Can you please explain? It would be the ultimate form of desperation to be stuck in a railway gate where the process is being done!

Even I was not able to get the correct term, which was told by the supervisor here and later by Khalid, i.e., preblocking. It simply means the process of putting the new rails to the track sides. It is after this that the next procedure like fixing to sleepers and finally laying takes place.

Interesting and unique collection. The ratio of "doers": "watchers" is mind-blowing!
