Curious crossing
46115 Scots Guardsman heads south at Wharton Dikes on 15/8/2010.
Just to the right of the engine can be seen a guardrail and warning signs for a foot crossing.I didn't notice this when I took the shot and wasn't aware there was a crossing there until a recent discussion with fellow Flickerite Henry Elliott.Access was through a farmyard and orchard but I can't find any trace of a public footpath there and the minor road to Bullgill goes under the line nearby so there was little need for a private crossing. Chatting to the farmer there last week(Sept 2021) he said it has since been closed by Network Rail.
Henry has now linked the shot he got before the crossing was removed
