Going Down

20 Oct 2006

I was wandering round the edges of my park on the weekend and came across the back of the local rail yard. I didn't bother exploring too far, just far enough to stumble upon one of the signal lights and gangway over the tracks. Usually they've got something locked across the bottom to prevent you from climbing up, but not this one ... so up I went.

It was fairly un-interesting to be honest. Not much of a view and pretty quite all around, so I suspected this was a disused section of track. After a minute or two I decided there was no photo opp, and was about to head down when I spied this little view. Excellent, not a complete wasted trip after all.

But about a minute or two after I got down, and walked back across the couple of tracks I heard a rumble, looked around and sure enough one big fuckin train trundled round the corner and grumbled by me, spewing exhaust fumes all around.

- Hey, funnily enough I've got an opposite title here that's also train related. Kinda funny I think.
