I recently walked along a footpath beside the old railway line from Kington to Titley Junction as part of a circular walk in Herefordshire.
Beside the former Titley Junction station, there were the abutments of a former railway bridge over a minor road (the bridge has gone) marked in paint as follows: DFT KGN 11m 43C. I presume the distance is the mileage from the still extant main line near Leominster; and KGN obviously means Kington, the main town on the line; but anyone know what DFT might stand for?
By the way, an enthusiast obviously lives in the former station building at Titley Junction: there's a lot of railwayana; a former Western Region Mk 1 coach W26169; some relaid track and a couple of small industrial diesel shunters.
It should be noted that the site is a private residence, and is not as far as I know open to the public. My pictures were taken from a public footpath.
