Old Helensburgh Railway Tunnels
In the 1880s, a network of seven tunnels, named the Helensburgh Tunnels, were built in order to connect different areas in Australia. These tunnels cut right through the hilly landscape rather than travel all the way around. However, less than 30 years after being built, they were abandoned in favor of a two-way rail system. The old ones can still be visited today.

Michigan Central Station
The Michigan Central Station was opened in 1913, having over 200 trains running to and from it on a daily basis. During WWII, it was heavily by the military. The station began to steadily decline, as trains fell out of favor, and eventually the station was closed entirely. Though it hasn’t been revived, it has been named as a landmark and will not be demolished.
