 What really struck me in these parts of the country was the isolation that people there had been living in for so long. These railways didn't represent connection like they might be in other parts of the world. I mean, I sense from that that you were clearly having to go to places on some occasions where those in authority, even back then when things were a good deal more relaxed than they are now, didn't want you to go and would have made life quite difficult for you.
