Why does the sand-drag now resemble a solid block of clay-coloured concrete?!
Is it a new material? or just the sand with a hard outer casing?

It looks to me like it's pure sand, just carefully crafted for some reason best known to it's creator  ;D ;D The whole thing has obviously just been re-done, with new ballast underneath etc.... |

And if you mean the triangular one, that's a rail gap indicator for the traction current.

From that pic, it looks as if it were made of marzipan...
Hmmm, assuming it *is* sand, when it dries, won't it slump out over the running line?
Nice to see someone doing a neat job though isn't it?

Whoever made that should make sandcastles for a living. He's sure to be good. |

The Sand Drag at Putney Bridge has also been sculpted like this, but there is a nice few boot prints in it however.

Somebody has now also walked over the sand at Tower Hill dislodging some sand and spoiling the sculptured shape.
