Many of the ruins of railway line are civil engineering structures, and when dismantling the structure of them, then bringing it back would be impossible. Ruins of the closed railway line, has been lost with the passage of time so far, and has been gradually decreased in urban develop ment. Development work is going to promote the growth of the area. On the other hand, some persons whose has been familiar with the ruins of railway line, are supposed to be sad these ruins of which they are demolished.
