Railway enthusiasts often marvel at the infrastructure of old Southern Rail lines, where elevated concrete cable troughs once played a vital role in supporting high-tension and pilot cables alongside the tracks. These relics are now a rare sight, but they hold a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate the intricacies of railway systems. A black-and-white photo from David Heys' collection showcases one such trough, highlighting its unique design and construction.

For those looking to replicate or build similar structures, there are resources available online. The Thingiverse platform features a 3D model of a stone wall (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2934547), which can be adapted or kitbashed to suit individual needs. Additionally, a signal post design is also available on the same platform (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335487).
