So yet another one of the closed railroad stations, which I’ve featured during the previous days. There’s even a train of the latest model of Finnish locomotives passing at this very moment. Like the previous ones, this building was completed in 1886. Passenger traffic ended in 1990, much later than at the others. And indeedContinue reading “The Train Still Doesn’t Stop, But At Least I am inside”

Still Trainless
The chase for an open railway station continues. Today’s edition has already been featured back in 2022. It seems, that it has been built along the same drawings as the previous one, but has not been enlarged. The station infrastructure is also gone. There’s just the building left. This building is in way better conditionContinue reading “Still Trainless”
The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop
Yet another railway station along the same track as the others. Opened in the 1880’s along with the others, passenger traffic ended in 1983 and the station was entirely closed in 1988. Unlike the others, which still seem to be in a sensible condition, this one is starting to be fairly rotten. No luck hereContinue reading “The Train Still Wouldn’t Stop”
Trying To Rail It Again
My adventures through the all too familiar locations I had visited numerous times, had now taken me to one of the many railway stations in the area. They were all looking pretty much abandoned, but a part of them might still have some technology related to railway operations, as they were kept in some shape.Continue reading “Trying To Rail It Again”

This is how light the Finnish summer nights are, even though it’s cloudy. The station was closed in 2006, when trains stoppedContinue reading “From Railway To No Way”
The Riddle Of The Station
I went on along the Eastern border and reached a municipality called Rautjärvi. The place is rather small, and the biggest thing there is a large cardboard factory. The municipality’s veins are highway number 6 and the Karelian railroad track, which go directly through it. The current Rautjärvi Municipality was formed in 1973, when theContinue reading “The Riddle Of The Station”
Winter Games & Ruins
The last days of the year and the decade were approaching. After Christmas I decided to take a trip to my childhood home town to see my god son. It was very wintry there, and he was really happy about it. I really am not a keen fan of snow and frost, but of courseContinue reading “Winter Games & Ruins”
A Bloody End of the Line
Once I was in the car with my friends, I explained to them where we were heading and why. A couple of weeks ago I had had a dream that I visited this place with one of my two friends who was with me that day, and an old childhood friend. We went there inContinue reading “A Bloody End of the Line”
