| The area around Milford Junction has always been one of my happy hunting grounds. Extremely busy with coal and other traffic it used to satisfy all my gricing criteria - especially when there was lots of "Grid" action!
I still visit the area quite a lot, but here are the results from when it really was my second home! |
