Railway Destruction

[Darren Turner]

Cambrian Coast Railway Line Storm Damage by Darren Turner, on Flickr

heavy winds & raging high tides have scattered the mainline Cambrian coast train tracks with debris, washed away the stones underneath the sleepers & bent & twisted the tracks :-(

was it 'the wrong sort of tide' then Darren?

seriously, crazy amount of damage - that's not going to be a quick fix

very nice shot, love the leading lines of the rails, and the pop of color with the digger - tells the story very well

Great shot of the whole problem Darren.
This type of thing is becoming normal here on the coast. The higher water levels plus higher tides are beginning to be the biggest issue when storms hit.

Ooh, that won't be a fun ride....
Weather.... isn't it astonishingly powerful sometimes. :/

Now they are definitely the wrong sort of stones! Nice shot Daz.
