The station at Canfranc on the Spanish/French border has been largely abandoned with only the main building now being used for just two passsenger trains a day and the occasional freight train. It was a once a large border crossing handling large numbers of passengers who had to transfer themselves and their belongings to and from the trains between France and Spain because of a difference in the gauge sizes. There are now many rusting carriages and abandoned railway sheds and platforms slowly falling apart. The station was opened in July 1928 but closed in 1970 after a bridge on the French side was demolished. The SNCF decided not to repair the bridge as it was too costly. We weren't able to take a tour but as the station was open we decided to take a look around at the sad remains of this once grand station.
