Abandoned railway yard, Leicester
This is where the track approached a railway yard. The posts for lighting and telegraph wires are still standing, but the track has been taken up and the area is slowly returning to nature.
The modern lights in the background have been installed along the Great Central Way, a footpath and cycle route which use the former Great Central Railway main line at this location.

Railway trackbed, Leicester
This used to be a railway line. The track has been removed, but the ballast remains.
The track here had branched off the Great Central Railway, which ran north-to-south, and climbed as it curved round to join the Leicester to Burton-on-Trent route, which runs west-to-east. The Leicester to Burton tracks are behind the trees in the middle distance.
