New England is full of abandoned buildings, old mills industrial sites,
houses in out of the way places. Most lack running water and easy
transportation, or hide toxic wastes, (we have very high standards in
the US on what's toxic, some of these places could actually kill you,
others would hardly deserve a question most places in the world).
However there's no shortage of housing and it's usually less expensive
and easier to build a new building suit you business than refurbish an
old factory. These are buildings that had outlived their usefulness
that no one really wanted.

If they don't want the buildings why not allow someone else to occupy
them.

Subject: PESO -- Ruins by the tracks.
I was out and about today, and took a few photos near the Guilford CT
train station. I think, but I don't know for sure, that these
buildings used to be part of the N.Y., N.H., & H. rail operation.
They are on the Conrail right of way behind the chain link fence that
was erected to keep people safe from the "high speed" Acela trains.
I lucked out, because, today the gate was left open giving an
unobstructed view from at least one angle. There wasn't much I could
do about the dead white sky, so I decided to go full retro, at least
as full retro as I could with the DXOMark film pack 3.0 presets. So,
I applied the B&W filter for Tri-X, Medium format grain, red filter,
and sepia tone, as that seemed to match the subject matter.
