Sparta Train Station / Mohawk Industries

Me and Nicky visited this place about a month ago, and hearing the rumble of trucks not too far away, I hustled to snap a bunch of shots, rather upset that the place had been recently re-boarded up. I dont know much about the history of this place, and having heard the place called Mohawk Industries in the past, I looked up what I could and the company going by that name is one of the largest carpet and flooring manfacturers in the world. The large pesticide tank outside with the biohazard warning on the outside could be used for industrial purposes, having not gotten inside, there's no way for me to confirm it as such.

The place is plastered with no-entry signs and warnings; but in this case my not entering the building was more a saftey concern rather than a getting-busted concern. Bio-hazzard warnings are something I take more seriously than your typical Beware-of-Dog signs.

It's pretty cool, I wish I had more of a history on the place, but as far as I can tell, it's been empty a while, at least ten years.

Fire damage, i think.


Right by the tracks

Eh, probably not.

Comfortable.... naaaat.
This is the actual train station, it was sealed up with plywood and oddly enough: locks.
To me, that means that someone still wants to get in there every so often.
