#37 FRIDAY PHOTOWALK: RAILROAD’S DR. DEATH

Today, a story of one Dr. Beeching, a man some say the British government used in the 1960s to shut down one third of the railways in the UK, close half the stations and shed 67,000 jobs. I take a walk along one of the routes he closed a stone’s throw from my own home.

It’s a nostalgic walk, along overgrown bracken rich embankments, bridges that no longer have purpose and straight flat newly created cycleways that wind through English countryside where steam trains carrying passengers down to the English south coast once ran. Questions from the mailbag on discount, obtrusive photographers and American greats. It's the Friday Photowalk.
