The Bristol Railway Archive

This is the original forum of the Bristol Railway Archive that existed between 2003 and 2013. I finally rescued it after it seemed unrecoverable after a large crash. I have made it available for viewing. It is locked, all posts to the new version please!

Can somebody tell me what the white plaques are for, located on the vertical wall of a platform? I can't help noticing them these days. They appear to have a vertical sliding indicator on them. Something to do with measuring the loading gauge?

Thanks

I thought I had read somewhere that they were to guide track maintenance teams about the track cambers. I am sure someone more qualified could add to this??
