I haven't dreamt about extending the [preserved] Railway for years, so far as I recall. In the dream this morning I remember seeing that the young trees along and beside the trackbed across the valley from [C] had all been cleared;* saying rather regretfully to a railway operative that I had let my subscription lapse, twice in fact,** which was a pity as I had been one of the earliest members, joining originally back in 1959;*** & finally, seeing that the railway had reached [K] or may be a little beyond, asking: so you'll be pressing on through the (rubbish) tip,**** then? (Or words to that effect) – which the railway member confirmed they would.#

*([B] informed me of this a little while ago)

**(This is correct)

***(This might not be correct [although the writer joined the Society very early after its formation, and was, as a child, a passenger on a special train along the southern part of the line, arranged in connection with the Society's formation])

****(There is a cutting filed with rubbish between [K] & [T])
