Of Chalk Streams and Goods Trains

After spending some time chatting in Waterside Gardens in Crayford (the River Cray **, a Chalk Stream, runs through the Gardens) viz.

we caught a Train from Crayford to Albany Park, where we were lucky enough to see a Goods Train pass through the Station viz.

** In The Compleat Angler or The Contemplative Man's Recreation, Izaak Walton writes, 'And you are further to know, that there be certain waters, that breed Trouts remarkable both for their number and smallness. I know a little brook in Kent, that breeds them to a number incredible, and you may take them twenty and forty in an hour, but none greater than about the size of a Gudgeon ...'. It was conjectured by James Rennie (Editor of the 1833 Printing) that Walton was referring to the River Cray.
