disagree  Dave Greatrix: "TE METEN spoor" is overlooked, and "centre of the tracks" could be interpreted as the centre of the rails. You might get away with "centre of the TRACK" (singular).
8 hrs
  -> I did not overlook "te meten" but left it out deliberately since I don't think it actually adds any information to the sentence.
