Mansfield and Southwell Railway
Hi, My late Father in law was a steam loco driver for BR. One of his rosters was the Mansfield to Rolleston Junction route. I am putting together a DVD for Mansfield Reference Library of a photographic history of the line in a "Then" & " Present day" format. While on my travels taking photos for the "Present day" section I came across the following mystery ( at least to me). At Rufford Junction, Rainworth I found this walling section. About 80 paces long and part of it with planking on brackets. Having asked all the local experts, without any definitive answer as to what it was for, I`ve turned to you. Although my project is mostly photos there are amounts of text and all additional info makes for a more interesting item. Black and white attachment copyright of RCTS website, all others are mine. Thank you in advance for any info. Matthudson
