I'd been oogling for this place for quite some time. It was probably operational until the mid-2000s. Since then, the pigeons have taken over.
The place was pretty much untouched. No tags, no litter, no smashed windows or pointless vandalism. Just mold, decay and plenty of pigeons.
Not much else to say. Few pics, in and out.
Rot in peace.

On an abandoned railroad, at an abandoned
railroad depot and abandoned junction, stand five railroad cars. Three railroad
macadam cars, a snowplough car (*, and perhaps as the most intriguing of them
all — the prison transport car.
Traffic at the depot began in 1938 and
ended in 1985. The cars in particular were probably brought there sometime
later. Anyway, in we went, and pictures were taken.
(* On the other hand, I have to note that snowplough cars have always had a special place in my UE-nerve. Probably the first “UE-site” I ever visited was one of those. It was a car that had been sitting on a service rail next to one of our friend group’s favourite playgrounds for as long as we could remember — abandoned. At the ripe age of nine or ten, we finally got the nerve to jump across the tracks and sneak in…)
Been driving past this site for an decade, or two. No history of the site is available, nor the year of abandonment. Judging from the very little equipment left, it might have had something to do with metal works. Smelting, melting, casting or whatnot. Anyway, in we went, and pictures were taken.
The estate itself can already be seen on maps from the year 1921. The current main house is probably not that old, but old altogether. The balance between vandalism and the decay of time was somewhat in balance. See for yourselves:
