The washing of the tracks would have been an import requirement. Generally they are shipped without any fluids and they must be free of any dirt that could contain seeds or bugs that could become an invasive species in the destination country. Though having said that, these guys do seem to put a lot of work into the equipment that they work on.

Good engine destroyed by lefty unions. A friend on a visit to Leyland was on the catwalk outside 'God's' office when he saw a fitter use a 6-foot crowbar to rotate the bare crankshaft he had fitted. His feet left the ground, but he just carried on after it moved an inch or two. I helped rebuild several brand new L60's and what I found was horrendous. I have absolutely no pity for those Leyland employees who lost their jobs.
