Wunderschön!!!! Wäre mit meinem Brutus auch gerne mal ans Meer gefahren. Habe es ihm leider nie erfüllen können. Musste ihn am 01.08.2009 schweren Herzens einschläfern lassen :-(

Thanks Misha, Abandoned railways make a great subject. It's interesting to see nature reclaiming back what's hers! Maybe you might be interested in a good friend of my gallery that has some great abandoned railways around berlin...

Im afraid not.All the tracks were removed a month or so after i took this photo and all there is now is thousands of tons of concrete.Very little remains to show there was even a railway along this particular part of the route.There is an old signal light post next to the old windsurfing lake at Fen Drayton where there would have been a siding for loading sand into the rail trucks when that particular pit was being excavated in the 50's/60's though.

These are the old trestle bridges which were used to cross the many streams and brooks,but also flood planes which the St-Ives to Huntingdon railway had to negotiate along its route.They were a constant fire hazzard because of the creosote which oozed out during the summer months to prevent rot and had a mandatory speed & weight limit,but considering the line closed in 1959-they're in remakable condition.
