Thanks for posting Kevin. If that is the Monsal Dale viaduct I have a photo from the same spot taken in the mid-1940s by my parents on a motorbike excursion from Sheffield showing the landscape either side of the track completely bare of tree growth and the dense vegetation now seen. The danger of fire from steam locomotives ensured that all line side vegetation was kept to a minimum within the railway land boundary. The route makes a great walk now though.
