Some of the dock areas of Copenhagen have been turned into luxurious apartments for yuppies, a bit like London's Docklands. In places there are little reminders of the previous history of these areas, such as this preserved box van.

Re: Denmark - dock rail
Can you imagine what it would looked like had it been preserved at Millsite? Or almost anywhere else in SA?

We have a place in Sydney that compares with V&A CT. Once upon a time though it was a marshalling yard, yet nothing was preserved except the main line which runs behind the complex which trams now operate along. The younger generation have no idea of it's history.
