Thanks for having a look with me at this old and unused railway station in Saint Louis, MO. USA. It opened in 1929 and was shut down in 1970.
The intersection of two main roads in the center of the Hamlet pf Delmar, NY, often used by groups seeking public notice ax in the case of the missionaries here.
Delmar Delaware Normally we receive three to four snow falls a winter so the first one is always exciting. By the time the fourth one rolls in we are fed up with it. This snowfall was about four inches so the schools and government employees jumped on it to declare a snow day, far be for them to do any work.

Delmarva Central's SE-1 job rolls up on the town of Delmar, located in the middle of the Maryland/Delaware state line, behind a pair of ex-SP MP15ACs and a healthy cut of mixed freight. SE-1 operates on the southernmost reaches of the Delmarva Secondary between Seaford, Delaware and Hallwood, Virginia, the line's current southern terminus. Until several years ago, the Secondary extended all the way down to Cape Charles with a car float operation across Chesapeake Bay connecting the railroad to Norfolk. A subsidiary of Carload Express, which also owns the AVR in Pittsburgh, the DCR was formed in 2016 to take over the Delmarva Secondary south of Clayton, Delaware from Norfolk Southern. The Secondary was historically a part of the PRR which practically held a monopoly on the Delmarva Peninsula.

Stairs to nowhere in Delmar, N.Y. There’s another set on the opposite side of the street, right across from these, also overgrown and without an obvious destination up top in the modern day. Many decades ago, local passenger trains ran on track at the top of the embankment there.
With the angle from which I shot this photo, the front building almost looks as if it was shot with a fisheye lens. Still playing around with the HDR tools.
Delmar, Illinois, was a lonely outpost on the Milwaukee Road's Terre Haute Subdivision, three miles east of Momence. Photo is looking north. Milwaukee's Joliet Sub (CM&G), which quit in 1979, joined the Terre Haute Sub here. PC's ex-NYC Kankakee Belt Route crossed west to east.
The Farm Crisis of the 1980's was a war against the family farm.After years of encouraged expansion and low interest rates,many family farms were in deep debt.When the recession of the early 1980's hit,money was tightened up and interest rates went from 7% to over 21% in the course of 2 years.The debt was no longer manageable,and family farms went under to the tune of hundreds per DAY.Agriculture was changed forever.These bankrupt farms were sold off,often for the value of the land not the buildings and homes.Now they sit and decay,a monument to once was but will never be again....
A fascinating documentary of the struggles of family farms in Iowa can be found here...
