You mean you never stopped the train and walked down to have a look, shame on you .
Having said that it was my first visit, its well hidden as you cannot see it from the A1

 I've been tempted!    I didn't realise there was access to cross the tracks

The closest is a small pedestrian bridge South of it. Both the camera and the operator had problems that day so did not get the shots i wanted, so did not continue North.
