Combine that with the special atmosphere of impermanence and you have all the ingredients for a great photograph.
Now there is no train to encounter, but it is anything but safe: the whole structure is rotten and rusty, and between the rotten railway sleepers you look metres into the depths. Getting there also requires urban exploring.
But the result is worth it.
Unfortunately, in the Netherlands, all structures that fall out of use are quickly demolished and cleared away, but fortunately there are still gems like this to be seen in our neighbouring countries.
