Abandoned Train Station in Oakland, California - Remains of the Amtrak Station on 17th Street. From Surreal Coconut.
The train platforms appear to be elevated by one storey, although it is strange to imagine the raised rails that once corresponded to these platforms. The central waiting area, inside of the main building with its antiquated plaster, were off limits. Covering the walls were ornate plaster surfaces from a pre-modern era, also with a few old signs with an advertising terminology no longer used. Truly a fascinating place, even if the only interior images were obtained only through awkwardly holding the camera up to the window.
