While we’re here, we take a quick look around the railway memorabilia
inside the museum. There’s a donation to get in and it consists mainly of two
or three rooms joined together, mainly with large models of locomotives and pictures
of team trains and volunteers mounted on the wall. I’ve got no idea why this
particular sign caught my attention. Maybe I was baffled at the time that bridges
couldn’t suffice to carry a motor car, but then it could be a small bridge
solely for the purpose of allowing a farmer to access his property from one
side of the line to the other. The museum is also big on signage and preserves
posters advertising destinations to day-trippers and tourist, as well as a
showcase of tools used to preserve the railway alongside everyday artefacts of
their time. You certainly get a sense of a time gone by but maybe they’ve
overdone the preservation a bit.
