Irish narrow gauge. It's on the outskirts of Derry City where it crosses the border.
The original line was where the cycle path is. That's actually part of few miles of line that was laid alongside belonging to a railway museum based where the old station was in the 1970s and they used to run a 1930s diesel railcar along it but it hasn't ran since about the 1990s.

You'll just have to imagine you're standing the other side of that gert big planter, admiring my 1975 orange Falcon. I'll admit that from this perspective, everything else in in front of the bike. Well, apart from the pigeon. It was probably frightened by the Falcon.

MBIFO a Penny Farthing, outside The Stonemasons Inn, at Petworth.
I have been considering a ride to get this image for a couple of months, and as I approached, I thought it had been removed during lockdown!
But no! There it is, and I had a 5 minute break after taking this, and headed back into Petworth to grab some antihistamine, as I was selected by a wasp who wanted to relieve its self of its stinger at 20mph having struck the bridge of my glasses!

My bike in front of a barrier and some serious damage on the grass verge where quite a few drivers have driven around it in search of a way around the diversion while the main road is closed.
The road where the bike is standing, is a traffic free route for bikes and pedestrians, so the cars shouldn't be there at all.
What those drivers didn't know, but will have since found out, is that a few hundred metres around the corner a lot of policepersons are waiting to take their details and explain the error of their ways.
They will also hopefully be adding some points on licences and subtracting come Euros from bank accounts...

My bike in front of something metal. I think it's the remains of an older bridge that presumably bridged this river in the past; there's a pair of these on both ends of the new concrete bridge, but there's no explanation.

My bike in front of the ship lift at Niederfinow. From Wikipedia:
"The Niederfinow Boat Lift is the oldest working boat lift in Germany. It lies on the Oder-Havel Canal near Niederfinow in Brandenburg. The lift overcomes a difference in elevation of 36 metres"

While I applaud the principle, I'm not sure about the practicality of siting a defibrillator in a rural former phone box, which serves no more than a few scattered houses.
