Long lens photograph looks great down the tracks, old steam engine sad sitting on side tracks with nowhere to go.

Flowers are stunning growing wild between the shoulder and tracks taking one on a journey of exploration.

What's sad is that vandals have discovered the old steam engine. For the longest time, it was left alone. It's beautiful inside. The windows have been boarded up for less than two years.

I miss train travel, trains were our main way to travel anywhere. Most the running stock has been sold, some taken from South Africa to Scotland for museums.

Vandalism happens on a grand scale the few trains left rolling are for commuters to/from work, also frequently set alight, destruction is rife.
