The old train depot as seen in may sun.

Still some 15 years ago this view would have been totally different. The now-cleaned soil used to be railyard. Last buildings in the photo were left useless after new locomotive depot further North was finished in 1989. Many had already been obsoleted by retirement of last steam locomotives in 1970's.

These motor coach/locomotive sheds were built from right to left between 1929 and 1960. The few remaining tracks facilitate vintage railway equipment hobbying in the sheds.

The concrete shed from 1960 shelters some better coaches.

Old locomotive sheds, built in slices between 1890 (start of trafficing in Pm) and 1955. The building is partially preserved.

"Hat" of the old locomotive shed, the smaller water tower.

And this is the more typical looking, second water tower of the old shed. These structures are also preserved.

What fine, fine brick work the old building is.

Active tracks go quite near the old depot yard, but only a total idiot couldn't notice the difference in track constructions, so there's no danger of ending up inside ATU area. Lit dwarf signals, like the one here, should be a clear enough hint that the track is used.

It's a turntable, and not talking about Technics SL 1200 MKII - this thing spins less than 1 rpm.

Interesting scrap, even pieces of old steam locomotives have been forgotten here and there. This bogie spins fine after all the years it has lied in the bush.

Why is this steel box lying in the middle of the sand yard?... Aha, I can see why.

I once again asked myself who has the power.... Atleast not this light tower, which is completely blackened. Stalkers on wings have found it an excellent place to be on a lookout for prey.

Concrete locomotive shed's Northern end. It still carries the logo of a private railway related firm, which has obviously used the premises some time ago. But they have moved elsewhere.

Some very disused tracks lead from the depot to.. Let's see where?
