A question for UK rail enthusiasts. Everywhere I go by train, I see lots of old bits of stuff lying around by the tracks. Old rails, wires, random bits of metal, etc.
I assume that this is mostly stuff which is left-over after maintenance. But there doesn't seem to be a culture of clearing away all this stuff.
Is there a reason for this?
When travelling by road, you might see all sorts of 'rubbish', but you don't typically see lots of piles of asphalt etc. [Yes, occasionally, and yes, lost traffic cones.]
