Are the breeze blocks cemented in or just dug into the earth?
I was wondering whether to use these on my line.

They are lightweight aerated blocks bedded on large blobs of mortar at each end set in a trench dug to approx correct level as required.
Quick and easy to do and once you have got the first one correct and level you can work along with a spirit level.
Provided no one applies any significant lateral force they are sound.
The track is pinned down with short nails very easily.
