I tried searching for a similar thread but after page 4 gave up. We see so many deserted station while out riding so I though of starting this thread and the pictures I took at Kloofeind Station yesterday.
Here are some of the pics I took with my cellphone.
The building itself is still in good shape but very vandalized with every vestige of copper stripped by cable thieves... signal system is non existent so I do not think the siding track is even operational anymore.
Seeing a coffin and a exercise bike inside brought a smile to my face... worthless in the eye of the modern scavenger it seems.
I wonder what it would be like to turn this into a place to stay?
