Contest 218: Rail conversion
Snapped this at my local rail station yesterday. Looking at the recessed rails, it struck me how it would make a good canal. Of course, if we converted this line from trains to boats, we'd need to make quite a lot of other changes too...

Feel up to the challenge?

High res is here.

Missed the last two weeks with broken PC - now glad to be back. Not much left of your station with this one Steve.

With the line flooded, there was only one way to get to work.

The only problem with replacing trains with boats is...

A rather satisfying fantasy this one - "We apologise for the delay to the 5.15 from Brighton. This is due to the wrong sort of ducks on the line"

Re: Contest 218: Rail conversion
I just realised that I probably should have taken all those overhead wires out - oh well perhaps they ran out of money.
