New Nadrazi Praha-Hostivar Under Construction, Prague, Bohemia(CZ), 2015

This is actually the new Nadrazi Hostivar, which was under construction as I took this photo in 2015. It's about 144 meters east of the older station, which was built in 1882 to replace a smaller station from 1871, which was the first Prague station built specifically for the Kaiser Franz Josef Bahn, now Linka 220 to Ceska Budejovice. I used to regularly use Hostivar, and this continued for many years, meaning I used both the older and the newer station. The older station still survives, if for no other reason than that it has a popular pub in it. The new station was initially vandalized almost as soon as it was opened, when construction wasn't even complete, but it's subsequently become no worse than other larger stations on this route. The station building, unusually, is built out of what looks like unpainted steel, so it also rusted over before it even opened. It has also since been badly vandalized, being one of the worst damaged structures on-site. It isn't actually visible in this shot, as it would have been behind me, on the other side of the train.
