The TMR Explodes !!

The TMR is extending the line but a large rock outcrop is in the way. Enter the local rock demolition team complete with 'Explosives' loco.

The rock has been drilled by the resident 'slaves' and now charges are being laid in readyness for the 'big bang'.

BOOM!!! Russell and Sam inspect the damage.

Sam and Mark in this shot. It appears the holes on the first blast were not deep enough and a second blast with deeper holes is required. Oh No!!! You know what that means Sam...another day on that Bl***y rock drill.

After another day of drilling deeper holes the remaining rock is packed with explosive and wired.

All quiet before the storm. Last look at the rock outcrop before it becomes a memory.

Total destruction. Slaves now required for removal of large quantity of rock.
