Maybe a 100mph speed limit?The Hiawathas were renowned for their fast running, therefore what sort of a warning sign might relate to that?

Knowing little of Norfolk other than its reputation, I'm mildly surprised it has a hill large enough to warrant a tunnel. :P
Is it something silly like being below the water line?
There's a tunnel on the Bure Valley line isn't there, so is it that it's narrow gauge track through a tunnel built for a standard gauge line?
Pure guess - City Thameslink?
The one I found by cheating was a Fox-Talbot picture taken in 1845 of a model of what looks like a 2-2-2 broad-gauge GWR loco. It could even be 5" (or 7 1/4") gauge live steam! https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detai...gine-c-1845-positive-salt-news-photo/90729163That is good answer Krus - 1851 at the Great Exhibition. Apparently it was a Crampton 4-2-0 called "Folkstone" (sic) but I didn't expect anyone to get the loco. Your cabless museum piece of an open floor sir
The names of the stations aren't relevant. Remember that the fact they're Welsh stations isn't important: I could equally add tens of English or Scottish stations to the list (but I'd need to spend time checking which ones first).I suppose it isn't something so absurdly straightforward as: all the station names listed, begin and end with a consonant; but, with Deganwy and Kidwelly (especially with Welsh-language presence in the picture) -- would "y" count as consonant, or vowel?
Glad to see that I'm triggering some deep thinking, but I'm afraid that level crossings and/or water access don't come into it.Your later examples have set my mind wondering - Are they between the town/settlement after which they are named and the sea or wharf with which that settlement is associated?
Therefore needing a level-crossing near the station for access between the two? (In the case of Prestatyn that crossing has now been substituted by a bridge over the railway)
