HAAPSALU, ESTONIA 🇪🇪: HAAPSALU RAILWAY STATION

Published on by jacquelinemhadelLeave a comment
Wooden station opened in 1904, closed a century later in 2004. Now, a museum. The beautiful blue skies cooperated fully and I was able to capture some cool photos of the trains in the snow. I love trains. This made the trip to Haapsalu, a popular seaside resort in the summers, well worth it.
Diesel-electric passenger locomotive from 1980.
Czarist-era covered goods wagon from the late 19th century.
