If G.K.Chesterton had been a railway enthusiast, might he not have written of "A reeling rail, a rolling rail, that rambles round the shire"? The Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society have taken occupancy of the empty wastes of Kirkland Yard, a former railway marshalling yard on the northern edge of Methil, and have been busy laying a railway track along which they hope eventually to give train rides to the public. This is part of their line during construction. One would strongly hesitate, however, to suggest, as Mr Chesterton might, that the "rolling rail" was laid by "A rolling English [or even Scottish] drunkard".
