7 Incredible Abandoned Train Graveyards

I'd love to spend a day exploring one of those places!

I'd skip the Chernobyl site

Todd,

Thanks for sharing this very interesting article. 

The pictures may lead to a train graveyard' on a member's layout.

It was nice to see Winslow Junction on the list.  I used to do a train meet with my dad in Winslow, and that was right near where the trains were.

We used to go over there and look around after we packed up from the meet.  Really interesting to just walk around and look!

I had heard of none of these, and am especially surprised not to have heard of the

two U.S. sites.  Lots of publicity about Cincy's Union Station, but I'd never heard of

a Cincy RR museum.

I keep finding these short lines that are still running and I didn't know about them. Winslow Junction is still in use. Southern Railroad of New Jersey.

Nearby, in Millvlle\Bridgeton,  the Winchester and Western operates a line hauling sand. That area has always been known for it's sand for glassmaking.

One of the coolest graveyards is the one from the Benz commercial this past winter.

The Cincinnati RR Museum is actually in Kentucky...just like the airport.  I have been past it many times, but never stopped to look.

Union Terminal is amazing.
