Wensleydale Railway approaching Susan's Wood
The heritage railway line almost completely smothered by attractive wild flowers and weeds - on closer inspection appearing to either a species of forget-me-not or speedwell.
This was taken during the coronavirus lockdown, thus no services were running. Volunteers from far and wide, unable to lend their time to the project, thus leading to an air of neglect.
The Wensleydale Railway

The Wensleydale railway is a preserved railway in North Yorkshire. The line currently runs 22 miles (35 km) between Northallerton on the East Coast Main Line and Redmire. This makes the line the longest heritage railway in Great Britain. Occasional freight services and excursions travel the full length of the line, however regular passenger services currently only operate between Leeming Bar and Redmire, a distance of 16.5 miles (27 km). Formerly the line ran from Northallerton to Garsdale on the Settle-Carlisle Railway. However the track between Redmire and Garsdale was lifted and several bridges and viaducts were demolished in the past. (Wikipedia)
