Crowded Isle ?
When ever I watch that tv series Escape to the Country, it don't look all that crowded.
Green pastures, rock walls, narrow country lanes.
Moors going on for ever with high security prisons sprinkled around.
OK, it might be crowded in them prisons.
Was it Dart Moor where Ronnie Barker escaped from but was most eager to get back into.
Porridge was a bonzer tv show.
The BNSF coalie that I drove along the Marshall Sub during me 2000 Yankeeland visit had around 200 hoppers.
Two monster GEs up front and one shoving down the rear as a radio controlled DPU.
Max train speed was 40 MPH.
So, I would imagine some motorists being annoyed at level crossings.
But, being mostly in the middle of nowhere, very few motorists.
I did espy them motorists darting through the Garretson level crossing one day.
Lights and bells going as a train was shunting in the yard.
I guess that I can constumble their angst, them lights and bells going for a considerable period.
I guess that we could always go back to the BEGINNING.
When a bloke on horseback had to trot ahead of a train waving a red flag.
No monstrous trains as long as last week back then.
Steve.
