Really sad. My grandfather used to work at Bethlehem as a guard and I have fond memories of going down there by steamtrain in the 60's. I posted a pic of the station in another thread, but seeing those empty spaces is tragic. When the trains left Bethehem came to an almost standstill.
Not quite on the rails.
