Ipswich to Felixstowe rail line

The line takes a rather devious route, turning off the East Suffolk line north of Ipswich, and turning south under the ring road (as seen here) and through the eastern suburbs of Ipswich before heading out to Felixstowe on the coast. Meaning that this apparently rustic single track line carries all the rail traffic for one of the world's largest container ports.
