Gatehouse 5
This level crossing, once part of the Duits Lijntje, has long been out of use.
Two simple St. Andrew’s crosses mark the railway line. But a real train will never thunder past here again. This level crossing, once part of the Duits Lijntje, has long been out of use. Right at this spot stood Gatehouse 5, where a guard once monitored the crossing. Was a steam train approaching? Then he made sure road traffic stopped in time. How different things are now. These days, plants and animals have taken over. Look closely—you might spot a wood anemone or a slow worm, or hear the delicate, tinkling song of the yellowhammer.
