I was curious about the railway to the stadium, so I decided to get some exercise by walking it as far as I thought would be safe and legal. I was rewarded with a fat prize in the end: an old steam engine in good paint just standing on a sidetrack.
I'll let the pictures (and the captions) speak themselves:
The end of the line at the stadium
Here we go.
The stadium is being renovated.
Clearly broken. That metal whatever has come off.
This is a bike path and in regular use. A manual switch ahead.
Everything is rusty and old.
Part of the mechanism
What is this? It seems to be in a process of disintegration.
Is it supposed to protect something from the elements?
Not many trains under the bridge for a long time.
If you take the left turn, you'll end up at the factory I was close to about a week ago which I made a post about. The main railway not far when you turn to the right.
This is a switch area border or something like that.
I wonder what that sign means.
Industrial buildings. There's something in the distance. Is that a train car or a locomotive?
It's a steam locomotive! Let's call it Steem Engine.
It's beautiful! It should be in a museum and not here under the open sky.
Three wheels
Made by Tampella at Tampere Machine Works in 1951
