A extensive railway maintenance depot dating back to 1935. It was decommissioned for many years and became popular with urban explorers but after it was declared a national monument in 2015 it has slowly been restored and parts have opened to the public on guided tours.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
