No, that is a working railway passing over the bridge, not a disused one.

Foul Green, near Commondale railway station, in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire.

Looks like an interesting location with the old railway line there.

That was quick! A view overlooking Bergen from the mountain Floyen, near the top of the Fløibanen funicular railway.

Here's some more of the view (please excuse the rough join).
