For those arriving by train sightseeing can start right here — I think that the long pedestrian overpass in a place to see. It starts as a tidied-up version of itself, for the people to see it in better light:

The entrance to the pedestrian bridge over the railway in Dnipro city, Ukraine

Painted and having lanterns near the passenger platforms:

Over the place where platforms end, the bridge's painted part ends, too.

It was getting more narrow as I continued.

And it was getting lower as well.

It had branches for convenience of those needing to access the train station backyard's buildings, like this one of railway worker's hospital.

The final section of the bridge was hanging over a street in the industrial area.

That empty street name was Krasnozavodska, and it had tram tracks.

The steps were made of metal, and their authors have left their autographs using the welding machine, rather unexpected ones. One of them is understandable — someone's nickname («penguin») together with a date. The other is less simple. The «cідниці» word means «nates» — left and right halves of a human ass. What kind of impulse was there in the brain of an unknown welder that he (or she) wrote this very word — one of many others — on a step of the train station overpass?
