Looks like people have been walking in the 4 foot, not to be recommended, unless you're in a possession and even then maybe risky, or you have the token.

Cheers

Hi Phil.
Whilst I would totally agree with you, judging by the weeds it doesn't look like this track has been used for quite some while, which just adds to the puzzle of the apparently shiny finish.
Regards
Tony.

I wonder if it's all a trick of the light and melted snow.  Look at the right hand rail in the foreground, it isn't shiny at all, also the shine is coming from the transition from horizontal to vertical part of the rail.  If it is traffic that has caused the shine why is it always the the right hand side that is shiny when some of those should be on the outside of the rail where a flange doesn't normally go?

It's got to be a trick of the light.

And also, where is it? France perhaps?

I did wonder if the effect was caused by a layer of frost catching the light. Looks cold enough.
Regards

The image was on Pixabay:

Which means it was created by a photography enthusiast, not a railway enthusiast.

It may have been taken using a polarising filter, and/or digitally edited to get the low-saturation colour effect.
