My first thought when I saw the image was that it was one of the 3ft gauge Bord na Mona peat railways in Ireland, but instead the caption says it's the Zilaiskalns peat railway in Latvia -- same idea, different end of Europe it would appear.

In this context it would make sense to use temporary panel track that can be moved around as different parts of the bog are mined.
