Look carefully at the track geometry roughly half way between train and platform.....
I should add that this picture was taken from the public crossing at Ince and Elton station, and no trespass was involved.

The tallgrass prairie exhibits different textures this winter, after more than 30 inches of snow and ice knocked down and covered over significant percentages of the grass. Here old critter tracks mark the prairie's new skin.

A bit of history was uncovered during the improvement of U.S. 40 (National Road) on Richmond, Indiana's west side. These tracks were likely part of the Interurban line that ran along the National Road between Richmond and Indianapolis. They will be removed as part of improvement project.

Fernleigh Track , Newcastle and Hunter region.
The Fernleigh Track is for walkers and bicycle riders. It follows
the course of a railway track built in the 1880s , to carry coal to Newcastle. Features of the track are the 180 metre long tunnel and the bushland corridor it follows for much of the way. I have ridden various parts of the track , but finally completed the 22kms from Adamstown to Swansea and back. Pizza for lunch was great. Swansea is a lakeside suburb on the edge of the largest saltwater coastal lake, Lake Macquarie, in NSW.
Walking along the train tracks on the edge of Green Lake offered some great scenery and a nice spot to dip our hot feet in the cold, alpine waters.
Another view of part of the banked curve race track at Brooklands Museum. This is where motor racing started in 1907.
These are freight tracks embedded in the street, not trolley tracks. They are standard gauge, whereas all trolley tracks in Philly are broad gauge. Another clue that these are freight tracks and not trolley tracks is the switch: the point is missing, but if this were trolley tracks, there would be no switch point on this side; only on the other side of the track. (See note above.)
Taken on the 10xx block of Noble Street, Philadelphia.
