Mysterious ghost stations forgotten beneath the cities of Paris and
London; desolate grand rail hubs in the Pyrenée mountains; metro
stations in China that terminate in a wasteland: Abandoned Train
Stations looks at some of the thousands of disused station buildings,
platforms, lines, tunnels, and rail yards left behind by modernity.
Organized by continent, this book takes the reader to every corner of
the globe. Explore Canfranc International Railway Station, once a busy
mountain hub of international travel between France and Spain. See the
eerily empty platform at Kings Cross Thameslink, London, today a service
tunnel following the station's closure in the early 2000s. Examine the
grandiose Michigan Central Train Station in Detroit, an historic Amtrak
rail depot, and once the tallest rail station in the world. Marvel at
the dusty, overgrown shell of Abkhazia's once-beautiful railway station
in Psyrtskha, a physical legacy of the former Soviet era in the
Caucasus. Abandoned Train Stations provides a fascinating pictorial
journey through the little-known remnants of rail transport
infrastructure from every part of the world.
