What's the most dangerous thing you've found on a railway?

How about the "Farringdon Mice":

I saw a Lion once ......

 

Where? Somewhere in Essex? Did you get a photo?

Turned out it was a Snow Leopard with fake tan and hair extensions...

 

Titfield IIRC

 

A BIG wasps nest inside the pway container just inside the door, none of the gang dared to go in, so we caught the next train back to base and found a different job to do.

 

Photographers.

 

Class 142's, rickety thing's that feel as though they will derail at any second with the crashworthyness of tin foil :heh:

 

Seconded! Some (and I state the minority) press the common sense override button when around steam! Especially on the big railway.

Add to that Adder nests in sand bins and troughing!

 

Detonators? Then again, I've never 'found' dets, they've always been where they're supposed to be!

 

This looks scary to me...

Hmm, bit of a mis-caption there, I believe that is actually an 'Essex Panther'.

 

rabbit holes

 

Tigers between Bridlington and Sewerby.

 

A little job for P/way to add to their list:

I've seen a few Drivers in my time...

 

I've seen a Tornado at Darlington and a Hurricane at Waterloo!

 

Some of the so-called enthusiasts!

 

An angry badger with sharp teeth while strimming the lineside vegetation near to its set!
