MORE TRIVIA:

WTF has the Croydon Canal got to do with uk.railway ???


IIRC it was filled in and became the trackbed on the line via Forest
Hill and Sydenham.


The track runs along the bottom of the canal, the brickwork and the
old basin form part of an earlier transport system.

If you allow reused infrastructure from older transport forms
incorporated into new ones, then the Higham and Strood tunnels must
count, as they were dug for the Thames & Medway canal in 17xx.
