This is amazing and I am surprised this is not screener's choice yet. These are traces of the primal stages of what was to become railroading. AMAZING find.

Nice bit of history, glad you shared it.

So now railways are so old, that archeologists are finding them?

This is wonderful and must be conserved. Are there any charities that can help?

Incredible find, and a great photo to show the discover. Shame it doesn't get more recognition than it does on RP though.

@James Burlington: Yes, they are. As a professional archaeologist, we consider anything more than 50 years old to be noteworthy.
|
Are those petrified tracks from the Triassic era ! LOL !

Would be interesting here in2016 to have further news; guess I might ought to go play in a search engine to see what comes up.
Who knows how much history is hidden where.

From what I can find out , a section of the track is being stabilised and has been acquired for display by the National Railway Museum, so that's good news
