eh you pick it up after living next to one of the busiest mainlines in Australia for your entire life
the rails make a faint sound when a train is at speed especially on continuous welded rails (ones that are welded together rather than the old bolted style)
i have two impressive abilities apparently
i can navigate to any location if i have seen it on a map, passed it once or even if i know a rough landmark to that area (eg a train station)
the other is my ability to sense when a train is coming (big help with railfaning)
i try to take them in if someone doesn't want them,
my family on the other hand really don't want em.
it is a constant battle to keep my lad Rowdy (a disabled RIR Roo)
No we did not find what killed her but we think it was a type of bird flu.
also in Australia it is hard to get a necropsy due to long distances and most farm vets being more bovine based.
thank you for standing beside me in these hard times.
