Has anyone else noticed more Dogman sightings happening near old railway lines?

Railway lines are interesting because they follow really old routes, a lot of them built over drovers roads or even older tracks that go back centuries. So you're not necessarily looking at the railway itself as the cause, more like the railway followed something that was already there.

I've done a fair bit of fieldwork around disused lines in the Scottish Borders and the topography is always the same - embankments, cuttings, overgrown corridors. Perfect cover for something large to move without being seen. That's mundane, not paranormal, but it matters.

What I'd want to know from anyone reporting sightings is whether these are active or disused lines, and roughly what region. The pattern only means something if the data is consistent. Anyone actually keeping a proper log of this or is it just vibes and YouTube thumbnails at this point.

Ley lines follow a lot of those same old routes too, which is something people don't really talk about enough in these discussions. I've walked a couple of lines through Cheshire that cut straight across old rail corridors and the overlap is genuinely interesting - not saying it explains anything, but if you accept that certain paths have been used continuously for thousands of years there's probably a reason things keep getting reported in the same spots generation after generation. The railway didn't create the strangeness, it just got built on top of it.
