Several of the locations I chose to visit during my road trip were places, which I had never visited. I had spotted them in news about abandoned buildings, construction projects and future demolitions.
But there were also several locations, which I had spotted during my extensive tour of Finland the previous summer. That time I had found no point of entry, so I chose to come back to see, if I was luckier this time.
And this time we’re approaching one of the latter kind of locations.
This of course is a former leather factory. Its story has been told earlier here. And it looks pretty much the same as it did that time around.
The property was surrounded by a fence and the gates were locked. As I don’t do break ins, I chose to go around the back to see, if there was a path.
A better view showing the largest part of the complex in full.
The building was located by a railroad. It was a very quiet strech of track, so I thought it was safe to follow the tracks around the building.
Reaching the back side. The fence here has taken a hit, but not a big enough hit.
This was when I heard a noise.
And surely enough there was a freight train approaching. It was travelling at a very slow speed, so I had plenty of time to step aside. But still the driver probably was wondering what the hell I was doing there.
A poor kid’s scoot. There were several houses on the lot. Most of them looked abandoned, but the most modern factory buildings looked like they were still in use.
I decided to leave and come back at a later date to have look at how things had developed.
