After the previous railway station – a second railway station. This one was built in the 1880’s like the previous one, but survived for a little longer in passenger use – until 1990.
The architect was the same one as with the previous station.
This one was also in a very good condition considering its abandonment date.
As not all windows were covered, I could manage one shot to the insides.
This always surprises me at abandoned stations. Most of them are fitted with an air to air heat pump installed much later than the closing date. I’m glad they are keeping the places in shape, but could it possibly be, that the buildings are still used for something related to the railway operations despite not serving passengers anymore?
There was no way in.
So I just had to be content with taking good general photographs from the other side of the track. I’ve once again removed the name of the station to protect the location, but I have to say that this logo style adopted by the state railway company decades back, is especially difficult to remove. The signs are made of separate, large metallic letters, which have to be removed one by one.
I rarely remove things from my photos, but when I do it, I always mention it on the posts. It’s a good journalistic guideline, and despite being a hobbyist blog, I am running this pretty much using journalistic guidelines. I am a journalist after all.
There was a former grain storage and loading building here, which is not surprising. The region is famous for its agriculture.
And there is my beautiful summer car, which has already brought me so far on my tour of Finland despite its 29 years of age.
