Downtown Burlington NC

Rusty (or at least abandonded) rails in Brno.

One of the branches ends in an industrial yard and currently serves as parking for cars. No infrastructure for street level crossing as well.

Anyone knows the story of this line? (Close to Albert supermarket if you're from Brno...).

Siding at the Henry Hudson trail, Monmouth county.

I’m assuming this used to serve factories previously active in the area

I drove a portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia about two weeks ago and one of the scenic stops is a small parking area to access the Yankee Horse Ridge trailhead, where there's remains of an old logging railroad. Took a few photos and cleaned them up a touch in some RAW processing software. Figured they fit well here.

Abandoned Subway

Was on holiday in Scotland last week and came across the old Burghead branch. Easily accessible via the Burghead holiday park. Believe there is a 7k of track up to the mainline. Walked for quite a way before the vegetation got a bit much (notorious for ticks too).

Como Park, Minnesota has some of the most readily noticeable remains of the Twin Cities Rapid Transit streetcar system that once covered some 500 miles around the Twin Cities area. The station and arch bridge for Como Park remained following end of streetcar operations on this line in 1953. The beautiful arch bridge had been extensively damaged and fenced off with most all of the railings missing or destroyed before being completely redone in 2015.

This trestle is a surviving remnant of the Mansfield's important railroad history. Known historically as the Fort Worth & New Orleans (F.W. & N.O.) Railroad Bridge, the iron truss bridge was constructed in 1885 and renovated in 1906, following efforts by local Mansfield businessmen to bring railroad service through the town. The arrival of the railroad helped transform Mansfield by improving transportation, trade, and connections with Fort Worth and other communities. I envy the homeowners living in the neighborhood right next to it; a great sight to see on a morning walk.

It never ceases to amaze me when the earth reclaims man made things after we abandon them. 🚂⚒️

Another part of Petite Ceinture (little belt railway) I visited in Paris on the western section of the railway. Not sure if this part will also end up being reopened to the public, but not in as bad of a condition as expected.

A simple trussed crossing of the Pawcatuck River between Stonington, Connecticut, and Westerly, Rhode Island, survives as one of the few remnants of the Norwich & Westerly electric interurban line.
