Many thanks Michelle! ?

Weird place for a school Eric?

Riding and taking photos simultaneously? @Buckster can't manage either activity independently!

This way for Rugged Individualism! You won't get shit like this on ButtRider!

On the trail of the abandoned Railway Stations again! And today is Zujar-Freila! Easy to access (unlike Gorafe) and in a very poor condition. But at least there were no goats in it! What makes this station very different from the others is that it was featured in the 1959 film North West Frontier starring Kenneth More, Lauren Bacall, and Herbert Lom. The vid I made is a bit different too......with footage from the film along with some clips of the station as it is now! Or rather, what's left of it! Here's the updated map.......stations visited have the green dots! Here's the vid........quite a mix of stuff in it!

And loads of fucking guns!

There's pics, vid.......and movie clip!

That's how it's supposed to work Fred......if you click title you get the whole thread, when you click the time you go to that exact post. The software doesn't know whether you've read the whole thread.

I have no idea what you're talking about Fred?

Talking of rides.......just back from another station! This one has serious history.......including Hollywood!

600MB fibre optic up and down here Yen! Can't be easy living in a third world country like Britain these days!

Just paste the vid link in @artonsafari.....I've done it now!

It would have been different Bob.......it wouldn't have happened!

I can't imagine they'd eat the shit that @Pedro seems to like!

It's fantastic that they retain those old Locos and buildings. Apparently they have a shunter in Tijola which is on the cards soon.

Brilliant! And great condition on them!

Fantastic Eric! Could be a bit spookier though!

Notice the Twilight Zone pic in the bar.......with the hat still there? @Earache pointed it out on Facebook!

Continuing my journey of locating abandoned stations on the old GSSR Railway.......today I tracked down Gorafe Station. Or rather, the ruins of Gorafe Station as it's currently being used as a goat shed. What a waste! This was the most difficult station so far as neither Google Maps nor Google Earth were that clear on what sort of terrain I might have to cross. It turned out to be pretty rough, full of rocks, and very bumpy. Whoever owns the place now had two guard dogs roaming as well.....just to make things more interesting. What was a surprise was that I also found some other abandoned buildings following the trail to the station......one looked like a former bar and hotel. Went into the bar actually......and everything is still in place despite being abandoned in 1984. Bit spooky really. Watch the vid first (all offroad).......that way you'll get a better overview of where everything was located. This one was hard, the terrain wasn't so clever, it was baking hot, and I ain't getting any younger! But it's better than languishing in an Old Folks Home! Here's the updated map.......green spots are completed stations. This is how it looked in 1966..... And this is what it looks like now........

Got to be the BOTM pic!

Must have......but he came along 20 years later in the mid 80's. Spain is always years behind in everything.

I'm back........hot and exhausted......that was hard! Inaccessible without invoking rugged individualism!

Off shortly to find another abandoned station.......though on this one I'm not sure if it still exists. Hope so......because the photo of a brick in the middle of nowhere is not exactly inspirational.
