Idle whimsey I'm trying to think of locations in Britain where you can stand (or be in a train) and see 'your' line in a distinctly different and unexpected place. An example would be on the Ffestiniog deviation looking down on Ddualt. Also on the Ffestiniog I recall being in a down train just West of Tan-y-Balch and seeing a 'mirror image' of the up across the small valley! Perhaps the Liskard end of the Looe branch? I wasn't thinking of a long valley view where the line is sort-of continious.
Lots of examples around the world of zig-zags, spirals, back and forth with horseshoes but few, if any in dear old Blighty.
