The 21-year-old stumbled upon the haunting site located in the Scottish Highlands and documented her experience exploring the former station.
Spooky images show rows of derelict engines which are barely recognisable after being engulfed by rust and moss.
Other snaps show shattered windows, collapsing chimneys, and rotting train cars - offering a fascinating window into the past and the fading echoes of industrial life.
Tokyo has come across over 10,000 abandoned vehicles with a collective value well over £1 million.
"Over one million for sure, trains are worth a lot," she said.
'The abandoned train station stands silent in the misty Highlands, its weathered timbers and rusting tracks slowly vanishing beneath creeping moss and heather.
'It was crazy how long they had been left there, that's what surprised me the most.
'How they could be dumped and left to rot with no one interested in them.
'When we found the freight train, I love trainspotting and trains so it was a dream come true.
'Some people think trespass shouldn't be allowed, but others appreciate that I'm showcasing abandoned places that will never see the light of day otherwise.'
Dark underbelly of UK's new City of Culture plagued by soaring unemployment, 'spiced-up' druggies & 'roaming XL Bullies'
It comes after a haunting graveyard of rotting vintage vehicles has been captured in the British countryside by another urban explorer.
Images show rusting motors lined up, including a nostalgic 90s Cadillac, in various states of disrepair.
The scrapyard, which inhabits a crumbling UK farm, also includes dusty Micras and Volvos.
The latter takes up most of the space, where a lineup of once eye-catching 240s and 244s eerily sit.
Some of them don badges and stickers from their last days on the road.
One Volvo in particular is likely a more recent addition as it sports a fresh-looking exhaust warning sticker.
But others have seen better days.
Some have been stacked, used to prop up even more scrap, their roofs caved in under the weight of other forgotten vehicles.

Beloved Brit sitcom becomes latest show to be slapped with trigger warning over ‘racist humour'
The entire show is flagged to contain 'sexual themes, nude images and moderate language throughout' ITV NAILS SHOW Beloved Brit sitcom becomes latest show to be slapped with trigger warning over 'racist humour' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CLASSIC sitcom Auf Wiedersehen, Pet has been slapped with a trigger warning by ITV for racist humour. Episodes on the channel's ITVX platform now warn the show, which follows a group of Brit builders stationed in Germany, makes 'racial remarks'. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 1 Iconic sitcom Auf Wiedersehen, Pet has been slapped with a trigger warning by ITV Credit: BBC The beloved series made stars of Jimmy Nail and Tim Healy and Timothy Spall, following their capers as they pursue high wages and plenty of frauleins. Episode five now warns: 'Contains frequent mild language and mild racial remarks.' The piece is called Home Thoughts From Abroad and follows Bomber, played by Pat Roach, as he travels home to find his missing daughter who them runs up on the building site in Dusseldorf. The flag could have been applied to cover jokes from Oz, played by Jimmy Nail, including one remark about Germany: 'They're the ba**ards that bombed me granny.' Another of his asides was that 'they started it'. The entire show is flagged to contain 'sexual themes, nude images and moderate language throughout'. In 2000, series one was ranked number 46 on the 100 Greatest British Television Programmes in a list compiled by the British Film Institute. The beloved series ran for four series in total, two from 1983 until 1986 and then after a sixteen-year gap, two series and a Christmas special were shown on BBC One in 2002 and 2004. Previously, viewers of the The Fast Show have been warned about 'discriminatory language' in a Suits You scene from an episode which aired in February 1996. It could concern a scene where the series' lusty Middle Aged Guys declare women who rebuffed their advances 'lesbians'. Star Wars film slapped with new trigger warning 26 years after it was first released The Office and Only Fools and Horses are also screened with BBC warnings about their appropriateness for modern audiences. Channel 4 has previously been branded 'humourless' for flagging a series of Father Ted episodes on its streaming service, and ITV has a similar caution on 1970s comedy George & Mildred.

Oasis ‘scam' probe launched as Scots mum accused of selling fake tickets for hundreds of pounds
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM is at the centre of a cop probe amid claims Oasis fans forked out thousands of pounds for tickets that didn't exist. Police are investigating allegations that Colleen Ross, 37, of Wallyford, East Lothian, failed to deliver gold-dust Murrayfield briefs to dozens of desperate music lovers. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Police are investigating allegations Colleen Ross failed to deliver tickets 4 Fans were told there had been a 'mess-up' over transferring tickets 4 Nikki Hawkins and hubby Paul are among punters who were allegedly let down Credit: Nikki Hawkins 4 It's claimed Oasis fans forked out thousands of pounds for tickets that didn't exist Credit: Mark Ferguson Nikki Hawkins, 32, and hubby Paul, 49, are among scores of punters who were allegedly let down. The pair, from Derby, paid a £100 deposit to the holistic therapist before heading north for last Friday's mega-gig at Murrayfield. But on arrival the night before, they were told there had been a 'mess-up' over transferring tickets. Teacher Nikki said: 'Ross claimed they were still 'pending' and she was sorry. I ended up having to fork out £650 to secure two tickets from the viagogo resale site. 'The concert was a present for my husband's birthday and I didn't want to let him down.' But Nikki described the shambles as a 'sh** scam'. She got her £100 deposit refunded days later. But her story is one of dozens linked to Ross. Cops are probing complaints from Oasis fans who claim they sent cash to her for briefs that never arrived. Karen Alderton, 39, said she paid £300 for two tickets to one of the band's sell-out shows to surprise her daughter on her 18th birthday. The mum of three, from Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, told The Scottish Sun: 'I've known Colleen for about eight years. I trusted her. 'She advertised the Oasis ones on Snapchat, saying she was selling her daughter's tickets because she wanted to go on holiday instead. I told her I'd buy them. But I started seeing stuff online about her. So I sent a message, asking when the tickets would be transferred. Dad who plunged to his death 'from top tier' of Wembley Oasis gig is pictured - as family pay tribute to 'role model' 'She totally bit my head off. She said she was still waiting and would send them as soon as she got them. 'I told her to send my refund or I'd go to her house. I got the money back. But I had to pay £1,100 for two Oasis tickets on a resale site.' There was no answer at Ross's detached home today. Neighbours said she hadn't been seen for several days. Karen added: 'I got my cash back but everybody else needs to get it. 'Another parent told me how her daughter tried to get in at Murrayfield on Saturday with a screenshot of a ticket from Colleen. But it didn't work. She has to stop what she's doing.' Darrah Fielding, 26, a student from Glasgow, paid Ross £280 for two briefs that never appeared. She also got the cash refunded but had to spend £500 on viagogo to get to the concert. Mum-of-one Darrah recalled: 'She was extremely convincing and seemed genuine. But she has let people down and caused chaos. She's a cheeky moneygrabber and should be ashamed of herself.' Many fans went online to tell of their dealings with Ross. David, 42, from Falkirk, sent her £140 for a standing ticket for Friday's show by the rockers, who released the 1998 compilation album The Masterplan. He said: 'She contacted me after I put a message on a site in July. 'Later, she said she was going into hospital and would send the tickets two to three days before the concert. 'I knew something was up. I paid £260 for one from elsewhere. 'Then I found out hundreds of people making similar claims. She has broken a lot of hearts. She sent me the refund but many others missed out.' Some went on to social media to warn other fans. One said: 'Got properly done by that Colleen Ross. Ruined my weekend.' A third warned: 'She's scammed people out of thousands.' Police Scotland said: 'We received a report of fraud in the Edinburgh area. Enquiries are at an early stage.'

Grim pictures reveal vile drugs den just yards away from Spider-Man Glasgow film set
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) HOLLYWOOD crews are filming the new Spider-Man movie just yards from a vile drugs den. Shocking pictures show addicts' needles and paraphernalia piled in an alley near where superhero fans have gathered to watch thrilling action scenes being shot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 The alley is littered with drugs, needles and booze bottles Credit: Les Gallagher 5 The drug den has been dubbed a 'disgrace' and a 'national embarrassment' Credit: Les Gallagher 5 Filming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day kicked off in Glasgow at the beginning of the month Credit: PA Intoxicated yobs are said to have been seen shooting up in a filthy stairwell then stumbling to the set in St Vincent Street, Glasgow. It doubles as New York in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland, 29. Scores of young film buffs were seen nearby taking pictures and craning for views of a stuntman dressed as the Marvel webslinger. And it is understood they have been warned to keep their distance from the drugs hellhole. One movie insider said: 'A bunch of lowlifes were smoking a glass bong right next to kids who turned up to catch a glimpse of their superhero. 'We had to chase one of them away the other day - it's not what you expect in the shadows of a massive blockbuster movie.' Crews were said to be reluctant to move on the wasted yobs as they feared attacks. Tory MSP Annie Wells hit out: 'This is the grim reality – drug addiction left to spiral out of control and our largest city tangled in a web of drug dens. 'Having one just metres away from a Hollywood film set is a national embarrassment. 'It'll take more than a superhero to clean up the streets of Glasgow.' Watch spectacular moment Spider-Man swings through air as daring stunt filmed on Glasgow street City hall chiefs have referred the scene to social workers. A Glasgow City Council spokesman said: 'This is not an issue we have ever heard of around filming. 'Productions have occasionally had to clean areas before they use them as a location. 'But this issue has never been mentioned at all as a deterrent to future filming.' We told how city-goers have been treated to dramatic chase scenes and explosions. Production has now switched to Hutcheson Street in nearby Merchant City. A suited-up stuntman was seen dodging flames billowing around a tank. Residents have previously moaned about drug hellholes close to shops and flats. And neighbours of the controversial Thistle fix room in the city's Calton have moaned about having to dodge discarded needles. 5 A movie insider said they saw 'lowlifes' smoking a bong next to kids who came to watch the filming Credit: Les Gallagher
