just some train tracks... or is it an invaluable piece of engineering that people such as myself constantly overlook considering how much this country has relied on the rails that stretch across it?
Evidence remains in a few places of the colliery that once operated on the site of Rothwell Country Park. Here, rails can still be seen embedded into the concrete surface of the tipping yard, where coal was transferred from colliery wagons to mainline trains.
They're already tearing up the temporary balloon loop at Positivgatan. Tramline closed south of Axel Dahlström this weekend, on Monday trams will be running from the new station at Frölunda torg. They're busy laying the rails. The station will still be a construction site for many more weeks.
The Olympia, WA area has a very impressive system of public trails. I was hiking for quite a distance on the Woodland Trail. Here, it meets the Chehalis Western Trail with a roundabout. The cyclists at the right are reading about the history of the trail, both of which were former railroad rights of way. The Woodland Trail was originally a Northern Pacific rail line, later, Burlington Northern and the Chehalis Western Railroad was operated by Weyerhaeuser, transporting logs.
Here is one of the views of Matanzas that have stayed with me through the years. I've never felt happier getting my knees dirty anywhere else than I did on these old train rails.
When I think of Matanzas I think of bridges.

We were bored, we didn't sleep for almost 48h, and we developed (the best we could in 24hours straight) a full web application for item reviews (books, music, events, people, technology). It'll be available soon. Built for Railsday 2006

The evidence of our industrial heritage is all but gone now. There are little bits and pieces left like these gate posts at a pedestrian crossing over where the Slow and Dirty once ran from Bournemouth to Bath. They were made from old rails as you can see. The kissing gates were made from wood and metal bands curved like a barrel.
N&W J611 heads eastbound through Craigsville, Virginia, as the train heads east toward Staunton for its second run of the day.
Rifles, Rails & History: Steam Back to the North and South” at Wooton Park on the shore of beautiful Lake Dora in Tavares.
Remnants of a turnout of abandoned rails along Thames St. in the Fells Point neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland. The view is looking west toward South Broadway.
