The crossing keeper let my dear late brother Roger and I work the levers and the gates. On our penultimate day my father Eric rewarded the gatekeeper with some boxes of cigarettes. It was our first holiday with a car and we also crossed Ottery and Tipton St John's level crossings and passed Sidmouth station several times, admiring the signals and the wooden signal box. Very happy memories.

I have discovered all sorts of routes this way. I wonder what those from elsewhere would make of all these scars on the landscape that they can see from high up yet seem to have no meaning when they get nearer. Rather like us looking for rivers on Mars.Daddysgadgetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12892897553855129226noreply@blogger.com
