Interesting Trackwork

At the top of page 37 of this month's Rail Express there is a photo of
green 56303 near Allington Junction. Looking at the trackwork, it
appears that both roads are laid with fishplate-jointed flat-bottom
rail in lengths of around 20m(?). On the Boston side, the rail is
secured using chairs and keys, while, on the other, a claw clip system
is used (fairly common, but I can't recall what type). I think the
sleepers on the chaired side may of concrete (they seem to dip in the
middle), while on the clipped side they appear to be of timber.

I had no idea such a range of constructions existed. It would surely
make an interesting modelling feature.
