Lost Trains

About this location

The rusted hulk of diesel locomotive 8202 still wears its faded yellow-and-black stripes, though its cab windows are long gone and layers of graffiti now claim what the weather hasn't. It sits stranded on a weed-choked stretch of track, the tall grass swallowing the wheels as if the ground itself is pulling it back down. Beyond the engine, a few distant yellow carriages wait in the same silent decay, while a metal tower and a line of trees frame the scene under a painfully bright Belgian sky. There's a strange stillness here—the kind that comes when a place has been left to rot quietly, with nothing but the seasons for company.
