It looks vaguely European to me, but that could be way off base. Many of the train tracks on this list have locations, but this one didn’t have a location listed with the photo, so it’s a bit of a mystery as to where it’s located. ![]() These abandoned railroad tracks may have reached the end of their line, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not new beginning for the meadow and uninterrupted forest beyond it. This view is incredible, but I also want to know what it looks like from afar. The architecture will stand for ages to come, as a testament to its fine craftsmanship and solidarity. The structure is surprisingly skinny, with only room for a train and not much else, but it’s still imposing, made with a phenomenal amount of steel, and it reaches very high upwards. This is an absolutely gorgeous bridge, the thick, steel, arrayed in such an expressive yet functional manner, they just don’t make bridges like this anymore. Sounds like a fascinating place to explore. With rubble everywhere in sight, this is clearly an area that has been left behind, no longer used for anything, an urban wasteland of rubble and debris. These tracks are left in such a state of ruin that it almost resembles some kind of post-apocalyptic scene. This mess of metal and dilapidated tracks is found in Norilsk, Russia, and it’s pretty obvious that these train tracks are not used anymore and won’t be used again unless a lot of clean up and rebuilding is done. The railroad tracks are extraordinarily rusty, giving evidence to the fact that the weather is truly brutal here, especially in the winters. The landscape is rugged, unforgiving and unapologetically beautiful. I’ve always wanted to go to Svalbard, and Norway so it looks like this is as good of an excuse as any to get up there. This abandoned train track line, according to, runs between Coles Bay and Grumant, in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago located about halfway between Greenland and Norway.įrom the looks of it, this too has made its way onto my bucket list. So, as an ode to the past and a tribute to the forgotten, let’s take a look at 20 stunning pictures of forgotten railroad tracks. It makes for some pretty incredible photography. What the end result of this shift in progress and contrast of out-modding, is a vast network of abandoned railways and rail roads, even entire train stations, all left behind and forgotten. The original routes trains have taken in the past often need reconsideration, with more efficient routes found, or old routes needing to be phased out as they are no longer practical or used enough. One of the overlooked facets of locomotion is that of trains. Modes of transportation are introduced, new, and change the infrastructure, then those are soon outmoded and replaced by more advanced technologies, and new infrastructure has to be introduced. ![]() The way humans have used locomotion to travel from place to pace over the course of history has changed and morphed dramatically over the centuries.
