On track

 

There used to be a peat plant at Crowle, which processed some of the peat from Thorne moors. The wooden sleepers / ties can be seen occasionally along the paths that cross the moors, with some pieces of rail also sometimes poking out of the undergrowth. But most of the network is now just a memory. So, inevitably in the this country, a group has been set up to recreate the track and rolling stock that ran upon the line. They have now got as far as having a length of track where it would have run prior to closure. As you can see from this shot, it is not the most parallel of configurations but I think this is probably what the track used to look like - rough and fairly ready.
