ODNEY MANOR AT THE BEACH ROAD CROSSING INTO DUNSTER STATION WSR 11 MAY 2024

Now that the Steam Gala is over, its interesting to be out there in the countryside with the birds singing and then the passage of a familiar steam train heading to Minehead.

Thanks for uploading another interesting video. In the first few seconds the video shown a track with some sort of corugated iron pieces at the side....what is this used for ?.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I think you must be looking at a field entrance beside the house with some tree shadows on the road.

@@ADMIRALSCORNER No it's to stop cattle (and sheep?) wandering onto the line. Very common in Australia.
As an aside, in my nation this level crossing with vegetation along the road right up to the railway line, and the crossing on an angle, would be regarded as having 'sighting deficiencies' and (in my state at least) a strict speed limit to as low as 25kmh on freight lines would be mandated. But your English history with narrow lanes/roads and hedgerows is different, though some of the vehicles seemed to be travelling quite fast (unless the video accentuates speed).

Aren't they the cattle grid structure ...
