On the territory of the eastern part of the United States of America there are 2 famous cities - Detroit and Buffalo. The industrial sector of these cities contributed to the development of America, and many people came to the cities to work. To handle the huge traffic of visiting guests, the city authorities built railway stations in their cities: in Buffalo it was built in 1929, and the Detroit station opened in 1913.
Over time, civil air travel developed, fewer new people began to come to the cities, and the need for huge buildings disappeared. Detroit Station ceased operations in 1988 and the Buffalo Terminal in 1979. Now both of these structures are abandoned and are the largest abandoned stations that have not been demolished. In Detroit is the largest, in Buffalo - smaller. Two buildings have become one of the main city attractions, and the station in Detroit is even guarded, ordinary passers-by are not allowed there. At one time, they impressed with their scale and functionality, and a few decades later amaze the imagination with how monumental and unique they are.
Buffalo Central Station
The majestic building with a 17-storey tower in the center rises above the neighboring houses and a couple of operating lines along which goods are transported. On the other side of the building, all the railway tracks were dismantled and asphalted.
Externally, the station has been preserved well: many windows are intact, the facade of a huge building does not depress. From the inside, the building also looks majestic, monumental. Excursions are held at the station, and any guest of Buffalo can look at the abandoned structure with their own eyes.
In the main hall, a photo shoot was once held by the famous photographer Spencer Tunick , a creator who photographs hundreds of naked people simultaneously in non-standard locations. The models agree to shoot voluntarily and are part of an unusual but unique photograph.
Americans like to be nostalgic for the time when the station was open. On the network you can find photos when he worked and received thousands of people, and local artists created landscapes where Buffalo Central Station is the main object.
Detroit Central Station
The huge building is not available for visiting, but guests of the city and locals admire it from the outside. The station is one of the tallest buildings in this part of the city and is recognized as the largest abandoned of all.
The main entrance is decorated with columns, creating the impression that this part of the building was made almost in Ancient Rome. Photographers who were allowed to enter the station to show the world the interior of the building publish photos with the interiors. In the waiting room for VIP-clients you can see the remains of expensive furniture and even an inverted piano, and the internal views are similar to those that can be found in the palaces of European emperors.
