A Wilderness Between the Railroad Tracks

Railroad tracks are more than simply a route from A to B. For many different types of plants and animals they are a valuable habitat. The particular heat and dryness on the tracks offer the best conditions for highly specialised and often greatly endangered plants. Irrelevant of whether they are disused or still in operation there are always animals living almost unnoticed in their midst. For some however the tracks are an almost insurmountable hurdle.
