Channel Tunnel welders making a waterfall of sparks erecting an overhead cabin in the UK train marshalling zone


A team of welders construct an overhead cabin in the train marshalling zone underground at Shakespeare Cliff in Dover. In such busy, dangerous and confined areas, tunnellers have to make use of every inch of available space. The Channel Tunnel was the greatest construction project of the 20th century and is considered one of the wonders of the modern age.
