Cool! Why did they ABONDON it? Thats abit sad. Looks very cool though. In europe the tracks are very very Small in width. I am SUPRISED how much grass has growen over it. Now its just Steel laying in farm feilds. Waiting for a train to be driven on it. But it does look cool when they dont use tracks like this and it gets all grown over with grass and weeds. They should of made it a mueseum, and kept the station Preserved and well. Well i really would love to know what happen to these tracks.

ridiculous soundtrack...places like these deserve a silent tribute...would have been much more powerful for us, your viewers...

Before I added the soundtrack, a lot of footsteps could be heard etc. I added this soundtrack after hearing the sombre first 30 to 40 seconds but not hearing the jazzed up part of the music. I'll have to see if I can change or disable the soundtrack
