Description: Further DetailsTitle: Abandoned Train StationsCondition: NewEAN: 9781838861995ISBN: 9781838861995Publisher: Amber BooksFormat: HardbackRelease Date: 08/14/2022Description: Mysterious ghost stations forgotten beneath the cities of Paris and London; desolate grand rail hubs in the Pyrenean mountains; metro stations in China that terminate in a wasteland; Abandoned Train Stations looks at some of the thousands of disused station buildings, platforms, lines, tunnels, and rail yards left behind by modernity. Organised by continent, this book takes the reader to every corner of the globe. Explore Canfranc International Railway Station, once a busy mountain hub of international travel between France and Spain; see the eerily empty platform at Kings Cross Thameslink, London, today a service tunnel following the station’s closure in the early 2000s; examine the grandiose Michigan Central Train Station in Detroit, an historic Amtrak rail depot, and once the tallest rail station in the world; marvel at the dusty, overgrown shell of Abkhazia’s once beautiful railway station in Psyrtskha, a physical legacy of the former Soviet era in the Caucasus; see the disused Tiwanaku train station, situated almost 4,000 metres above sea level in the Bolivian Andes; or learn about the fascinating Istvántelek Train Yard, in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, better known as the ‘Red Star train graveyard’ because of its many Soviet-era engine wrecks. Illustrated with more than 200 photographs, Abandoned Train Stations provides a fascinating pictorial journey through the little-known remnants of rail transport infrastructure from every part of the world.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 303mmItem Length: 233mmItem Width: 23mmItem Weight: 1400gAuthor: David RossGenre: Arts & PhotographyBook Series: Abandoned PlacesTopic: Travel & Transport, Literary Criticism, Science Nature & Math, Technology & Engineering, Architecture & AntiquesIntended Audience: Young AdultsRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
