The Old North-South Road

And who wants to know about yesterday?  The fact is that for a few, these changes are of great interest. Look at this old map, for instance, and note how closely the road hugs the railway line, almost as if they were close relatives. 

Where the road crossed the railway line, it maintained close contact. Today it is a very different matter. The road acts as if it doesn’t even know the railway. It is all too aware that it is the more dominant of the two and prefers to keep it at a distance.
