Stretch

Disused station in Wyalkatchem in the Wheatbelt of WA. Grain trains still pass here during the harvest season on their way to the CBH silos nearby. The town is a small one, perhaps 500 people, and it is not a place one would visit casually, thus a railway station is considered low priority.

HFF everyone. I hope your weekend is a fine and pleasant one. Please keep yourselves safe.

The management of railways is inexplicable. Do the railways serve society or is it the other way about?
Even fences which delineate boundaries and ownership raise similar philosophical questions.

Old Owl replied to The Limbo Connection:

The philosophical fence conundrum may depend on whether you are inside or outside the fence. The enclosures in 17th century England cut the people off from the common land, but enabled the landowners to become much richer and more powerful. Your view of this would depend largely on where you stood on the class divide. Similarly in my country, indigenous Australians held land to be common but then the invaders came and built their pastoral empires in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Again, one’s attitude to this is dependent largely on one’s race. In both cases we have to live with the consequences of these fences today.

On the other hand, the fence between my property and my neighbour is a mutual thing where we both benefit.

Lawks, what pretentious nonsense!
