Mikkeli's railway station is surrounded by two groups of (half) unused buildings. On the western side there's Savon Valssimylly with silos. On the eastern side a row of former customs warehouses. Like most equivalent buildings in the country, they are no longer useful for the original purpose. Some of the estates have been rented to shelter boats, diving club or something else, but some of them are unused.

	The warehouses kind of extend the trainyard to East.
	Age of the buildings is unclear, but 1920's may be the constructioning decade.
	This is not to symbolise that there would be dark clouds over these buildings. Since the small plot limited by railways isn't very highly wanted, the buildings can spend sleepy years with no apparent threat of demolition.
	There are six departments, which have are separated by walls in the Southern building and some more in the Northern one. So finding one entrance doesn't grant access everywhere.
	Old commercial of a vanished hardware store continues to advertise Mikra for the bypassing trains. The neighboring plot has in fact a new hardware store.
	Obviously there's been something between the two buildings which prevented plastering most of the wall.
	Most open entrances are suitable for birds, unusable for humans.
	No entrance from here either.
	Old rails have not been removed. Gladly there are still also some other tracks in the city which have no use.
	Graffitis.
	Mikkeli is very white city.
	Graffiti which covers the walls is generally old. Practically no pieces from 21st century. I don't know the reason for this.
	Writer of this has obviously been going thorugh hard times. Wonder if he/she is still in town?
	The cable reel's user may have been railways. The route section went through major improvement some years ago, including signalling of the trainyard.
	Found one entrance, eventually.
	The entrance led to a boring basement with no access to the actual storage floor. White power drawings were about everything noteworthy down there.
	The king of local abandonments, atleast what comes to height, pictured from the basement's window hole.
	Found another entrance.
	This looked a bit more promising. Atleast there are stairs up.
	Gathering corner suitable for very intimate dicscussions.
	The former warehouse floor of this slice of the building is not abandoned in it's actual meaning. It stores junk thrown away from a local S-cooperative store's supermarkets and restaurants.
	Believe it now, this _is_ a white town!
	All good looking lockers.
	Some restaurant machinery, like this refrigeration apparatus, were also in store. Quite interestingly, the meters have text Kesko. Is this the Kesko of Finland?
	Stainless steel arc structure, whiches former location must have been some restaurant.
	A pub somewhere in Southern Savo region has been named Peukalopotti.
	Attic stores probably hundreds of folders of receipts etc. paper for the statutory 10 years, and further as it seems.
	According to this, the cooperative store of Pieksämäki isn't very wealthy business.
