The “Traveler” was 18 meters long and was used to form up the parapets on both sides of the elevated Rail-Road at the same time. The Traveler was moved along after each concrete pour with a compressor and air-winch where the next 18 meters of concrete forms was assembled again.

The Traveler either carried or towed along all the plant and equipment required (such as generator/welder, oxy set, compressor toolboxes etc) to form up each section and to travel itself along to the next 18 meters.

When all the concrete parapets were completed, the riggers came along, dismantled it, and took it away on trucks.
