AQ23 - 17th December. Some oddities

Can you place these unusual railways?   One is gone completely, there are heritage remains of another around, there is a re-creation of part of a third and the fourth is in daily service.

Google streetview from the site of that experiment. The intrepid photographer seems to have left the road for a timber yard.

All correct and before 9 a.m., even on a Sunday morning.  The Coffee Shop never sleeps, even when most of the passenger trains do. Society has moved on, towards a 24 hour 7 day operation ... perhaps dragging others along behind.  But that's a subject a long way from a lighter side advent quiz.

 
The Coffee Shop forum is provided by customers of Great Western Railway (formerly First Great Western). The views expressed are those of the individual posters concerned. Visit https://www.gwr.com for the official Great Western Railway website. Please contact the administrators of this site if you feel that the content provided by one of our posters contravenes our posting rules ( graham AT sn12.net ).

Although we are planning ahead, we don't know what the future will bring here in the Coffee Shop. We have domains "firstgreatwestern.info" for w-a-y back and also "greatwesternrailway.info"; we can also answer to "greatbritishrailways.info" too. For the future, information about Great Brisish Railways, by customers and for customers.
