Наверно, большинству из нас приходилось когда-либо в жизни бывать на довольно странных железнодорожных станциях — особенно, коль скоро вы — заядлый путешественник. Когда вы находитесь в необычном и странном месте, которое почему-то носит название «железнодорожная станция», вся обычная рутина, все процедуры, которые отнимают у вас время, когда вы отправляетесь в путешествие (ну, например, изучение расписания движения поездов, попытки решить, следует ли вам забронировать билеты заранее и все подобное) как-то отходят на второй план. Да, бывают и такие вокзалы, которые способны внушить нам серьезные сомнения по поводу нашего благополучия и безопасности. Но ведь это как раз одна из причин того, что мы все так любим путешествовать по миру!..
Некоторые из этих вокзалов не будут выглядеть неуместно в самых страшных ночных кошмарах. Но, возможно, кого-то они лишь вдохновят на путешествие? Некоторые станции, разумеется, всего лишь отличаются странной архитектурой или расположены в странных местах. Так или иначе, мы предлагаем вам взглянуть на самые странные железнодорожные станции в мире.
1. Станция Брокенхаймер Варте, Франкфурт. Наверное, чтобы решиться отправиться в путешествие с такой станции, нужно завидное чувство юмора. Не советуем рисковать тем, кто подвержен паническим атакам или опасается поезда потому, что он может сойти с рельсов. Впрочем, с другой стороны станция чем-то напоминает вокзал из фильмов о Гарри Потере, не так ли?
2. Центральная станция Мичигана, Детройт. Построена в 1913 году. Центральный железнодорожный вокзал Мичигана занимает роскошное здание. Сейчас, впрочем, оно находится под угрозой сноса из-за обветшания и того, что провести ремонт в такой махине нереально. Вообще, кому пришло в голову даже в ту склонную к внешним эффектам эпоху разместить железнодорожный вокзал в подобном палаццо?
3. Железнодорожная станция Нордпарк, Инсбрук, Австрия. Станция Нордпарк на самом деле состоит из четырех станций, каждая из которых индивидуально разработана, но вместе с тем с дизайнерской точки зрения они выглядят единым целым. Это постройка в футуристическом стиле, словно пришедшая из фильмов о будущем. Дизайнером проекта выступил Заха Хадид.
4. Железнодорожная станция Сент-Луис Юнион, Миссури. Она была построена в 1894 году и в тот момент считалась одной из наиболее оживленных и самых больших железнодорожных станция в мире. В 1980-ых годах ее превратили в роскошную гостиницу, что куда более сочеталось с вычурной архитектурой.
5. Железнодорожная станция Коламбус, Торонто. Она была построена в 1895 году, но в 1930 закрыта. Сейчас в здании проведена реставрация и расположена пожарная часть Огайо. Здание построено в очень странном стиле, напоминающем смесь различных архитектурных тенденций. Чем-то оно напоминает старую мельницу с неким китайским колоритом. Выглядит здание странно, но очень живописно.
6. Железнодорожная станция де Аточа, Мадрид. Она была отстроена в 1892 году после пожара архитектором Альберто ди Палачио Элиссаном и Густавом Эйфелем, тем самым автором той самой Эйфелевой башни. В 1992 году в здании станции расположили ботанический сад, который может на сегодняшний день похвастаться наличие более пятисот видов растений и животных. Странно звучит — зоопарк в здании железнодорожного вокзала, вам не кажется?
7. Центральная железнодорожная станция Стокгольма. Это точка пересечения всех линий метро Стокгольма. Здесь также расположена самая длинная в мире картинная галерея с дивной красоты фресками. Станция расположена в естественных подземных катакомбах.
8. Станция Экспо, Сингапур. Дизайнером проекта выступил Норманн Фостер. Станция была построена в 2000 году. По форме она напоминает НЛО. Странная крыша должна была отражать солнечные лучи, не позволяя воздуху в помещении перегреваться. Неплохая идея, как нам кажется!
9. Туристический подземный туннель в Шанхае, Китай. Наверное, это самое короткое и самое странное в мире путешествие. Флуоресцентные лампы, дикие цвета и общее ощущение психоделического бреда. Сам туннель длиной только 647 метров, он расположен под рекой Хуаньпу. Если не боитесь головокружения — добро пожаловать!

Maybe the most of us have ever been to in my life rather strange train stations - especially since you have - an avid traveler. When you are in an unusual and strange place, which for some reason is called "station", all the usual routine, all procedures that take up your time when you go on a trip (well, for example, study timetables, attempts to solve whether you should book your tickets in advance and everything like that) somehow fade into the background. Yes, there are also stations that are able to make us serious concerns about our welfare and security. But this is just one of the reasons that we all love to travel the world! ..
Some of these stations will not look out of place in the most terrible nightmares. But perhaps someone they only inspire you to travel? Some stations, of course, just different bizarre architecture or are located in strange places. Either way, we suggest you look at the strangest railway stations in the world.
1. Station Brokenhaymer Warta, Frankfurt. I guess, to decide to travel with such a station, you need an enviable sense of humor. Do not recommend risking those who are exposed to panic attacks or fears the train because he can go off the rails. However, on the other side of the station is somewhat reminiscent of the station from the Harry Potter films, is not it?
2. Michigan Central Station, Detroit. It was built in 1913. Michigan Central Train Station is an iconic building. Now, however, it is under threat of demolition due to dilapidation and what to repair in such a large object is unreal. In general, who came into my head, even in that inclined to external effects era to place the railway station in such a palace?
3. Railway Station Nordpark, Innsbruck, Austria. Nordpark station actually consists of four stations, each of which is individually designed, but at the same design point of view they appear as one. It is building a futuristic feel, as if came from the movies about the future. Designer of the project was Zaha Hadid.
4. Railway Station St. Louis Union, Missouri. It was built in 1894 and at that time was considered one of the busiest and biggest railway station in the world. In the 1980s it was turned into a luxury hotel that much more was associated with fanciful architecture.
5. Columbus Railway Station, Toronto. It was built in 1895, but closed in 1930. Now the building is carried out restoration and fire department of Ohio. The building was constructed in a very strange style reminiscent of a mixture of different architectural trends. Somehow it reminds the old mill with some Chinese flair. Building looks odd, but very picturesque.
6. De Atocha railway station in Madrid. It was rebuilt in 1892 after a fire the architect Alberto de executioners Elissanom and Gustave Eiffel, thus the author of the Eiffel Tower itself. In 1992, the building of the stations are a botanical garden, which can today boast of having more than five hundred species of plants and animals. Strange sounds - Zoo Station in the building, do not you think?
7. The central railway station in Stockholm. This is the point of intersection of all metro lines in Stockholm. There is also the longest art gallery with wondrous beauty murals. The station is located in a natural underground catacombs.
8. Station Expo, Singapore. Designer of the project was Norman Foster. The station was built in 2000. In shape it resembles a UFO. Strange roof should reflect the sun's rays, not allowing air in the room to overheat. Not a bad idea, as it seems!
9. Travel underground tunnel in Shanghai, China. This is probably the shortest and strangest thing in the world of travel. Fluorescent bulbs, wild colors and a general sense of psychedelic delirium. The very long tunnel just 647 meters and is located under the river Huanpu. If you are not afraid of vertigo - Welcome!
