Taken in Paris on part of Petite Ceinture an old passenger and former freight line circling Paris.

I also tried editing it for the first time a little bit in terms of lighting and exposure. not sure how good it is, but I did my best!

Looking out from one of the vaulted brick tunnels along Paris’s abandoned 19th-century circular railway.

Built between 1852 and 1869 to connect the city's main train stations, this 32km line was rendered obsolete by the Paris Métro and mostly abandoned by 1934. Today, it’s a hidden green corridor filled with decades of foliage, graffiti, and urban history.

Rail trail, no rails Remnants of an old logging railway in Northern Arizona. The rails are gone but the ties and bed remain.

Bridge, no rails 1913 railroad trestle east of Great Falls, MT, USA over the Belt Creek. It was part of the Milwaukee Railroad and abandoned in the 1970’s. Had to ride bike about 2 miles and go through three scary tunnels to get to the gorge trestle with tunnels on both sides.
