Abandoned railway lines always give a strong sense of abandonment...
This shot reminds me of an abandoned factory (with the tracks, and a cargo train as this one still waiting on the railway) I pass by every day going to university... the same sense of decadence and remembrance of a former glory...

Thanks.
It is not altogether abandoned... Nearby factories show some signs of life, but
activity is very limited compared to old times.
About two decades ago there were very intensive movement, and now there is
one train with 10 carts, and one or two carts standing on other tracks.
Only one diesel shunter locomotive remains there, and it is standing idle in time of
my visit there. And from all the personnel there I was able to see just one man.
Surely not enough to operate entire siding
Sometimes a cart or two goes there... like on this shot: fav.me/d7fifsc
(it is railway heading to this siding). But most of the time it stands still.
