Photo Daily: Training on the Railroad

Posted January 7, 2010 in The Big Picture
The home pitch of Handsworth Grammar School Old Boys Football Club is unique. the playing area is surrounded by three train routes and the players have to listen for oncoming trains before crossing the tracks. During the game the express trains raw past on there way to Birmingham New Street station.
