European Railroad Discussion > The Open and trains

Not really sure what board to post this on being it's directed toward anyone interested in trains, but maybe not golf.  The British Open from Troon, Scotland has been going on since Thursday and features a hole next to the main line outside Glasgow.  And I mean barely off the ROW.  The action isn't as plentiful and varied as the US Open last year at Chambers Bay, but they have shown a few short passenger trains zipping by.  Tomorrow's the last day to check it out.

The hole to watch is the par 4 11th hole - aka "The Railway". It's nasty in the high wind that Royal Troon has been having (does Scotland have a summer season?). Jordan Spieth really unraveled there on Saturday when is drive ended up within a few feet of the RoW ballast.

On Friday (I think), Bubba Watson hooked one out over the tracks.
