Revisiting my favourite abandoned place - Requiem for a place that died twice

Maybe you have seen my first post here on steemit about a pretty cool abandoned train yard that resulted in some of my favourite pictures I've ever taken. It's been only a couple months and in fact the first trip with my then-new Sony Alpha 6000 but I've always wanted to return simply because it was a beautiful place.

Yesterday a good friend asked for photo spots not everyone has already taken a million pictures of. Today I went to revisit this one to see if it was still accessible because it had to be the greatest spot within a hundred mile radius. Well, I guess it was accessible just fine, but I'm still not happy.

This is how it looks in January 2018, another hidden gem of the photography world irreversibly gone, reduced to a pile of rubble that will soon disappear under a new house that can never rival its calm, hidden beauty.

Goodbye my friend, we only met once but I liked you immediately and I'm going to miss you. Wish I visited you more often when we still had the chance.

I would also like to say some words to the train company, but I don't want to waste one of my post tags on nsfw.

I'm slightly pissed, can you tell?
