Notes

In a typical german model railroading magazine, you’ll see one typical scene every three months: A wharf with a railway, a river or something in front and huge warehouses behind. It’s not a bad idea for a model railroad, seeing how the huge warehouse blocks everything so that you can get away with a very narrow layout. Here, we have the same thing in real life.

Before you ask, I wasn’t trespassing, I was taking pictures through a fence which just worked out. The factory to the left is called “Aurora” and apparently produces flour. This of course raises the question what the empty autoracks are doing there. The obvious answer is that they are in storage (as far as I know not all tracks there are actually owned by the flower factory) thanks to the slow economy, but that’s boring. If you have a more interesting theory involving for example murder, dinosaurs or hidden gold (or all three, if the recession hasn’t hit you yet), I’d be glad to hear it!

Converted to black and white because it didn’t have enough color (thanks to bad weather) to look good in RGB. What do you think?
