Why is it that so many of the places "abandoned" by humans on this planet are amongst the most awesomely beautiful?
ReplyDeleteIn this case, there was a technical reason, due to commuter volume and the bend of the tracks. I think they are going to turn it into a museum. Abandoned sites show that things have developed too quickly over the past two hundred years. We're changing faster than our ability to keep up with our wreckage.
