Railroad cars, Region of Pirkanmaa

 
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…)
