These Locations Were Abandoned Years Ago. Look At Them Today

Railways – Brazil

These tracks lie a few miles outside of Sao Paulo in a village called Paranapiacaba. They are part of the British-owned Sao Paulo Railway Company and designed to export coffee beans. For 30 years, the system had 4,000 workers.

The 1970s saw the beginning of automation and these folks quickly lost their jobs to machines. The last steam train was decommissioned in 1982 and the tracks remain unused to this day.
