For obvious reasons there is much heavy industrial and commercial activity along the rails. This provides some of the most interesting scenery as we travel. Again, not exactly a pristine sort of scenery but captivating all the same. And revealing! Many places one can see that the glory days of a certain industry are long past. A lot of decay is on display. But our great potencial as a nation can still be discerned from what one sees gliding past the train car windows.

| Massive "retired" iron mill in Birmingham |
