Two lengths of very ancient rail have served for over a hundred years to protect a wall at Paddington from damage by road vehicles; now that they’re in a pedestrian area, they’ve had a coat of paint and a little interpretation panel added ☺️

Literally right outside the mess room window! 🤣
Go from platform 1 to Elizabeth Line entrance, turn right and they’re where the roadway starts to slope up to meet Bishop’s Bridge.

A lot of work to restore the very heavy corrosion, then a coat of paint - caught just in time. Thanks to

Love some repurposed scrap rail. Crash barriers, Stop blocks, fences, sign posts! Oof....I feel a 'scrap rail of the day' account coming on
