Was up at Waterloo Park today, had a bit of a look around.
First time I'd seen this arrangement for transporting bundles of rail. Looks practical, if inelegant.
From the new pedestrian crossing. Looks properly polished and elegant! I note that only the left-side tracks here, the ones that will carry the freight trains, require those central guidance rails.
Opposite view.
Not so elegant: these old wooden railing pieces that have yet to be removed.
The TPSS is certainly a standout, but it seems offset enough from the tracks that a screen of bushes/trees could go in to obscure it some more.
And finally, some concerned citizen has alerted us to the presence of something classically monstrous within the culverts...
