Abandoned Train Stations

Amber Books continues its photo book series of abandoned places. Other books have include abandoned islands, castles and places from the two World Wars. Abandoned Train Stations is a coffee table photo book focusing on abandoned train stations from around the world. The photos includes blurbs giving a description and a bit of information. Unlike places abandoned because of war, trains stations are usually decommissioned because of changes in methods of travel. Most of the photos are of stations from small towns that are no longer part of larger current train systems. Many are boarded up others have been kept as museums or have been refurbished to be part of the community. There is a wide variety of building styles and time periods represented. The book is broken into sections by continents. This is for a traveler or rail road enthusiast. I was very interested in glancing through it but didn’t find many places that made me thing I must see this in person. Thank you to NetGalley and Amber Books for the temporary eARC in exchange for a review. (4.5 stars)

If you love photographs of abandoned places, this book of abandoned train stations will be right up your alley. The photography is amazing and the information is very interesting. This is a book that would be a lovely coffee table book, as well as a book to have on your shelf, to pull out and glance through more than once.

If you like abandoned places, this book is perfect. Abandoned Train Stations by David Ross is a collection of photographs of abandoned train stations across the world. All the photos are beautifully presented with a brief description. I love seeing these photos showing their stories of its time and cultures, and it is certainly a great adventure without traveling to these sites myself. It is definitely amazing to see why these sites differ in architectural styles, reasons behind the "retirement," and many more!

Perfect for people into programmes like The Architecture of the Railways, Secrets of the London Underground or Abandoned Engineering.. Packed full of wonderful photos of these forgotten locations.
