So sad. I grew up in a small town, pop. 6000, and my mother told me in the late-1940s you could carry your suitcase a half block to the corner, get on a bus to the train station, go to St. Louis or Chicago, and fly anywhere in the world. All after a half a block's walk. The train station closed in the early-50s and is now a coffee shop. The train tracks are even gone. You can't even get a Greyhound bus there anymore.

Train track are gone here too. Population here is 15000, at least we keep buses to go to bigger towns, but the train has a special flavour.

@Cierzo: I loved taking trains when I was a kid. Near downtown, where the tracks used to be, there is now a McDonalds.

I would feel that way too! We have a depot here that's been turned into a restaurant. I'm glad it was repurposed and the look of it maintained. Food isn't that great but I like to go there just for the building. LOL

I would like that the building is repurposed too. It is not easy, though, as it is far from the city centre.

You're awesome I love abandoned places too

I guess that is a metaphor for life. Everything will come to an end.
If you go there regularly, have you noticed how nature has reconquered the former station over the years?

I love this pic. I love the thoughts you have. It is one of the many reasons why I find you so very special. ☺️ We wonder at these things you said, don't we?

I have always loved trains. They give a special feeling no other means of transport do.

@Cierzo: really lovely... and totally with you
My great grandfather worked as a signal man and the a station master over a hundred years ago
My grandfather was born in the house of a train station where his family lived...

@yeronlyman: 🙂
Station master was my dream work as kid. I wonder if they still exist now 😞

It would be good if it could be repurposed. It would be a pity to lose it.
Cierzo · M
Agree. Some other stations in this railway line have been turned into small hotels.

@Cierzo: good idea.👍

Would love to buy it and turn it into a grand house to live in.
