I figured they used the cut from the preceeding cuttings to form the embankment, plus there are 3 visible small quarries beside the embankment that would have been used as well.

I wonder if it was an all bullock-and-dray operation or if there was much modern machinery to assist them back then?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09346439743168875218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526510899109131419.post-26092896463271136782015-10-21T08:13:42.689+11:002015-10-21T08:13:42.689+11:00Yes, it is hard to realise that there was a substa...Yes, it is hard to realise that there was a substantial town at Outtrim, virtually nothing left of it now.

I have visited Outtrim a few times over the years, it's such a ghost of its former self.<br /><br />This embankment is very impressive from the road, but the photos give a much better idea of the works still visible.Joel Delacyhttp://www.joeldelacy.comnoreply@blogger.com
