Nothing that unusual... except perhaps the female mallard duck sitting in the puddle. Saw a fox too but used to seeing them.
We went from the viaduct to the last tunnel thats locked. Planning a return trip soon for the other direction with the 2 adjacent tunnels.

Interesting seeing that burntout car... wasnt there on my visit. Has it been driven along the line or pushed down from above?

Hi all. I've added another 15 to the Greenock's Lost Railways gallery on my
site. I will be revisiting the town and the sites of its lost railway lines in the
next few weeks. I am taking time out photography this week in order to do work on my
site and get it back to what it was a month or so ago before unfortunately being
hacked into. I'll keep you all up-to-date with updates I make to the site. For
now all 55 photographs can be found here:
