More about this scene
Children have been playing near railway lines for generations and the temptations of two lines so close together were obviously too much for the determined (probably) small boys who prised the railings apart to get to the embankment on the left of the picture. The dilapidated fence on the right would have been no obstacle to their hair- raising adventures, in a more innocent age, as what appears to be a well-worn path leading to the tunnel parapet and beyond suggests.
