A look at Myrtle:
And Anaka:
The piston rod of Myrtle showing how quickly things rust in the humid tropical climate:
It was very weird walking around the shops with nothing apparently having been touched since the last day of operation in late July (last day of operation's pertinent info still on the shop's white board). No security guards, no fences, it felt like a time warp to other fallen flags that were abandoned decades ago...
The most recent information I have is that the new owner plans to rehabilitate the line and equipment and restore service at some time in the future...
