Glenfarg Railway and Tunnels- October 2008 Now with added house.
This is the first place I've visited after discovering it on DP.
Liquid Engineering.
Carved on the viaduct. There was another one from 1961 beside it. Note to self- don't try and use Macro mode.
Over the edge of the viaduct. I waited for a car to try and give an idea of the height, with limited success.
Looking across the viaduct.
And we're in. Obligatory burnt out car shot 1- Micra
OBOCS2- Cavalier. I think there was a live dog in the boot when it was set on fire.
Looking back
Younger son (CB) inspecting one of the refuges. I think he gave most of them a good inspection.
Spacepunk said on his thread that he thought this lot was from a rave. He was right. A Young Farmers' rave judging by some of the bags and all the straw lying around. I think it's all been put in black bags but not taken away so it's got scattered again.
This one's passed inspection.
Sometimes I wish our TV looked like this.
22 year old graffiti
Bridge. I have no idea what's up there.
Squidgy. It must have been a major headache stopping water running across the trackbed.
Where there's an abandoned railway there's a fence made with sleepers. It's the law.
"He told me we were going to Megabowl, what did he tell you?"
This looked as if it had fallen out of the tunnel but there were no gaps around.
You used to see rusty old kit like this in fields, then the next time you passed the farmer would be using it. I think this is well and truly abandoned though.
I actually took most of the pictures on the way back, so it looks like they are walking backwards.
A view. Not much of a view but after all that time in cuttings and tunnels it was a bit of a relief.
Pheasant feeders. I'd guess that the track has remained reasonably clear because it's used for shooting.
Another viaduct. I had no idea until I looked over the side.
The end of the line. The track continues a little bit then becomes the M90.
It wasn't until I got home that I remembered about the house. I'll have to go back and look for it.
