Fences keep people off the railway!

Fences keep people off the railway!
Railway is dangerous!

HFF!

The reality of this scene is that while a train is there, the crossing gates are operated by railway staff to ensure that the train will not move. The crossing must be there for people who cannot use the bridge, such as the parent with the baby, and the elderly gentleman. The signs on the gates advises that people must use the bridge where possible. So, it is not the 'free for all' that many of you imagined!!

Hi Dinesh ,
Thank you so much for your very kind visit.
Unfortunately what you have said is invalid. Your statement calls for knowing the operation of their mind, which is impossible. So you can never say what people knew. If you try it in a court of law, you will get thrown out!!! Please see the explanation above!!
Best Wishes, HFF, a good weekend, and keep safe,

Murky day but a fine capture Peter, National Coal Board on the Severn valley !
HFF and great weekend!

Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Roger (Grisly) club
Hi Roger ,
Thank you for visiting!
I am pleased you found it interesting.
We must remember that Highley used to be an important coal mining town, and this railway yard exists to store wagons of coal from the mines! So, a couple of locos in NCB livery is not such a novel idea.
Best Wishes, HFF, a good weekend, and keep safe,
