3 Sept 10       Metrolink track-laying.  Bright sun.

This beast is called a 'Slipform Paver' machine.  Concrete is dumped in front of the machine which
travels slowly along and forms the concrete around the rails, together with the trough between, in one go.
A fibrous material is mixed with the concrete to prevent it from 'slumping'.
