I Love Abandoned Places

This is the old train station where I live. A place and a building I love. Doors and windows are walled.The last train arrived here in 1973.
I always wonder how many meetings and goodbyes the building has known. How many people left the town not to come back, or how many came with the train and stayed.
I would love to see one day trains stopping there, but I know it will not happen.

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.
