Description His name is Indiana Soma, but his friends just call him Indy.

His hobbies include sneaking into abandoned railyards where disused rolling stock awaits its death, taking only pictures, and leaving only a few holes in some locomotives' dashboards. This time, there were no locomotives, just some hopper cars filled with ballast, massively expansive railyards, signal towers, the usual drill. These were huge and busy places when the Ruhr area was producing coal, but when that stopped, they turned into huge and empty places... We even made our way into an abandoned roundhouse, which had its doors welded shut. A very feeble attempt at stopping us.

Anyone interested in photos?

Notice the writing at the top of the car (not the grafitti) - it is in my language and means handbrake But I doubt this car comes from Czech republic or Slovakia

I think some internationally used cars must have that on them, but I honestly don't know who exactly operated these. All I know is that they were apparently abandoned and left here when the last train left the railyard.
