Midnight Train to Nowhere

Early hours of July 14th. Heard a train on the line outside just as I was about to go to bed.
It would have been crazy not to immediately run outside and film it trundling by in the pitch black.

This is one of the Network Management Trains that are used to monitor the condition of the track. It is filled with cameras and sensors and all sorts of technogubbins. You can even see the red laser light as it passes.

Wonderful stuff.
