| 3. Scrapping yard & disused tracks |
![]() |
Between former labour houses and a new train depot there's strangely an outdoor sawmill. Yeah. |
|---|---|

Old track next to the sawmill. Angleur has supplied the rail. |

GG wagon badly lost in the bush. |

Those who enter here, shall abandon all hope. Both directions of the points lead to scrapping yard. |
![]() |
This office hut at the scrapping yard, whatever it originally was, is as abandoned as it gets. |
![]() |
Some wagons without body. |

Obviously, the webmaster of The Silent The Complete has been here - and as much as he resists graffiti, look what we found! Shame on you. |

Abandoned BXG, some kind of duty use wagon. |
![]() |
BG, JVV; wagon for building electrified railway. |
![]() |
Interior of the JVV is rather boring. |
![]() |
Fine looking doors of JVV reveal what kind of wagon it was before conversion to a building tool. |

This note's interesting bit is in the sender part. From: VAPO Oy Paltamo sawmill. This wagon full of sleepers came from the now-decommissoned sawmill in hunger land. |

One view to a scrap wagon's coupling. |

VR Abloy, very close cooperation? |

These track coil marks look just fine - why are they here? |
![]() |
"Deluxe" interior indeed. |

Not only wagons, but also some engine stock was going under the hammer, although the stuff couldn't compare to locomotive arsenal of Haapamäki. Anyway, here an abandoned Tka142. |
![]() |
Tka's cab revived memories of days spent at Orivesi trainyard some 15 earlier. Similar scrap was lying there then. |

From the chambers of charring thermite we move one step back, to nearly disused tracks from where wagons will most probably move to only one direction - scrapping yard. |
![]() |
These tracks are next to route to North. The Sr1 is in motion. |
![]() |
Enough wagons for some expeditions. |
![]() |
A test wagon for concentrated copper. This could be related to testing the super heavy ore trains, which didn't prove very practical. |
![]() |
A more typical ore wagon, Tad, seemed also to be abandoned. |
![]() |
Only a couple of coaches around, so they must be checked. |
![]() |
So boring, they've emptied also this one. |
![]() |
Yes, that's where we are. |

A comment which seemed bitter at first, but closer inspection of it's exact spelling changed the meaning to weird direction... Say what? |
![]() |
Talc wagon Uac, and all required information. |
![]() |
Levers for loading/unloading Uac resemble some recruitment test task. If you turn this and then turn that and that, which direction is this then? |
![]() |
This paper wagon (Sim, or similar) is very young! Wonder what happened to it. |
![]() |
Now this is harsher stuff, Sord. |
![]() |
Pressure gauge in case the acid gets too hot... |
![]() |
Uaz is not just a great vehicle familiar for all who've been to Finnish army, but also a wagon for transporting NaClO3. |
