mr scent 665 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 is the line in use Quote Link to post
The one 8,396 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Its a no go as anybody working on the line steps back as a train approached could trip so the dont allow any digging on a live line Quote Link to post
stripes 401 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 What is your instinct telling you james, I wouldnt want to loose a good terrier and if i wasnt sure i would move on,,, not worth the life of a terrier for a fox. You can get diggable earths on railway lines as long as the earth is running into an field of clay. 1 Quote Link to post

mr scent 665 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 id want to be very stuck for a dig i tell ye and what if the terrirer was directly under the line Quote Link to post
digdeeper 278 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I have some permission with a redundant line on and by f##k is it hard goin and if its built up your in for some graft but you usually find when other places fail to hold usually find the line will. And if its in use you will probably get a visit as they usually patrolled or watched atb mate happy hunting Quote Link to post
bigboots 49 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Used to hunt a lot around the tracks and docks can be dodgy but a great place to find foxes got chased many of times by group4 ha they were they days Quote Link to post

TUFFTY 1,476 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Had a dig along a railway embankment about 20 years ago. We were there all weekend trying to reach the dog. Was sucsessfull in the end. TUFFTY Quote Link to post
top terrierman 90 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 we have dug a few earths that were runing away from the line and out into a field but i know a few that ran the other way under the tracks wouldnt go near them.we once dug on a line that had been closed for years we got the dog right in between the railway sleepers at about 5 foot off very hard ground so be very careful were you put your dog. 1 Quote Link to post
