Hey wow, this building for sure is abandoned! Or atleast we thought so. We were a bit surprised to see vehicles at the yard, but decided to go around the corner anyway.

More cars here.

The first trip was terminated due to excess activity at the site. About 7 years later the reason for the activity was unveiled, thanks to the power of internets.

Auxiliary storage at the yard is in a condition similar to the cement station. Some removed silos are still present.

This section has had a roof above it, now it's the top.

Old railroad from Jyväskylä to Suolahti bypasses the cement station. It's been very little used since 1960's, but there are still tracks here at the former railyard of Sulku. A machine, apparently belonging to the city of Jyväskylä came here to do some work around 6:30 am.

Old points and derailers from Vilppula have ended up in a stack at Sulku.
