End of the Line
The end of the line:

There used to be a railway line between Enschede and Oldenzaal in The Netherlands. Like many of such local lines, it was decommissioned and the rails were removed, but you can still follow its route if you know where to look. They left a small part in place, for old times' sake, just North of Lonneker, where the railway crossed a stream:

The same bridge from another angle:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 28mm, ISO100, f8, 1/80s
They even left an old signal in place:
Olympus Stylus 1s, 28mm, ISO200, f8, 1/40s
When Enschede still had its textile industry, there were a great many of these local railway lines. Now, there is only the main line to the West and a small line to Gronau in Germany that has recently been reopened.
I love this old railway stuff and I try to check it out whenever I can.
