Some nights, you can hear the long freight trains rolling along the track way out in the countryside, the winds carrying the mournful sounds of steel rolling on steel further than you might imagine.
And while many Londoners may bristle at the occasional unscheduled traffic jam while a train makes its way through a level crossing, the rest of us are happy with the spontaneous break from reality, the opportunity to turn the car off for a bit and take in the spectacle.
Alternatively, the landscape is dotted with countless bridges and related rail infrastructure. And they all have a story to tell, if only we take the time to listen.
So on a brilliantly sunny afternoon, I took the time to listen. And to watch.
