ST6942 : Single track branch line serving Merehead Quarry

near to Leighton, Somerset, Great Britain

Single track branch line serving Merehead Quarry
Single track branch line serving Merehead Quarry
Not, as it appears, a double track merging into a single line, the rail to the left is one of two branches into the Merehead Limestone Quarry, the other leaves about half a mile further on (behind the camera) forming a triangular junction.
The "main" line continued to Shepton Mallet and beyond until it was closed at Cranmore.
The small blip on the horizon to the right is Alfred's Tower ST7435
