The Platform at Normanton Railway Station
The Station was built in 1888 to service the flourishing copper and cattle industries. The Supervising Engineer devised a new system to make it quicker to lat the track and help stop it needing repairs after every flood. The sleepers are hollow based and packed with mud so they don't need ballast, which washes away. Unfortunately, this means that the tracks are smaller and move more so they are less comfortable. At least it can still run in the wet!
