Join me on my adventures to the most forgotten, historic, and interesting locations of the United States!
I have a passion for American history, culture, and being on the road. I combine these passions by travelling the country with a mission to preserve our past by documenting forgotten and underappreciated locations before they vanish.
One day, these pictures, videos, and memories will be all we have to connect us with our past. Enjoy them while they're still here, and never take them for granted!

(Rare) Vintage Amtrak Trains Abandoned in the Woods - The Passengers Left a Time Capsule!
Join us as we venture into the woods to uncover these old Amtrak trains left to nature's mercy (and vandals). Along the way, we also found Canadian locomotives and luxury passenger cars. Some of the cars were preserved much like a dusty time capsule of history. We did our best to unravel the stories of these trains using the clues left behind by the final passengers. The items we found frozen in time offered us a glimpse into a bygone era of rail travel. Thanks for watching!

The locomotives should be cleaned and fixed up. It should be sold to other countries. Thank You
$.39 gas was around 1985
Amtrak came to exist by federal mandate 1971. By the late 1960s and early '70s trains disappeared off the tracks. The federal government wanted a train and this is how Amtrak became what it is today. It still is federally funded by Congress. And they're always running in the red never in the black. However hundreds of thousands of people use them throughout the United States every day.
I used to ride amtrack back in the 70s from Chicago down to Cairo Illinois as a child by myself from moms to dads.one night i fell asleep and missed my stop two trains had to stop in the country and switch me back north. I was on my way to new Orleans.
cool story - thanks for sharing!
The Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (on the maintenance report you found in the cab) was responsible for the 2013 Lac-Mégantic disaster ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal,_Maine_and_Atlantic_Railway#2013_Lac-M%C3%A9gantic_disaster). This loco probably came from the sell-off of their assets.
Nice
The seat across from the Engineer is for the Brakeman, not his partner.
Hi, I just found your video, and wanted to say thank you for sharing this to RUclips. I am a descendant of many of the Castner’s and Compton’s that are buried in this cemetery. Specifically, James Castner, the Revolutionary war veteran and his wife. They are my 6th Great Grandparents. Their son, John J Castner, also a veteran of the Revolution, and his wife, Katherine Reamer/Reemer are also buried in this Cemetery. They are my fifth great grandparents. I do know that John was a Tavern Owner/Innkeeper of an inn in Bridgewater, now known as the Vosseller House, although it’s now a private residence. Sadly, my branch left New Jersey a long time ago, and I currently live too far away to visit and help as I’d like to. The cemetery and headstones are in heartbreaking condition. I hope a visit won’t be to far in the future. Thanks again for sharing.
that's incredible. thank you for watching!
Not snow cone cups, the paper cups are for water. I remember being on an Amtrak train when I was a kid. They had a “cold water” taps on the train it was a little push button spigot. If you would like to see an Amtrak concept cars, there is the Tennessee valley railroad museum. Next option would be the Erie railway museum in Pennsylvania. All of those cars were for marketing research for passengers. The concept cars were supposed to be destroyed after the testing were completed, however these didn’t make it to the scrapyard. Nice video.
I didn't serve snow cones on amtrak but it was for the water fountain area etc- Ps.Toot, toot...
It's a shame vandals just have to destroy and leave their mark!
Location?
Definitely rattlesnakes living under it 🐍
Funny you say that. If you watch the full video I actually do run into one 😅
50:50 ,that's a GM built train 🚆 ,you can see the tag plate below the controls
Surprised that the copper thieves didn't steal all the copper wire & breakers out of the amtrak engine
Silver Streak.
If you notice towards the end in the last pullman sleeper, there is a cabinet labeled Shoe Compartment. There was also an access door to this locker for the Porter who would come by at night and polish your dress leather shoes for you. Keep in mind yesrs ago People dressed professionally when they traveled unlike today. This was a nice service when traveling first class. Next time you video one of these old cars pan slower. Some of us older guy's can help you. By the way the second seat in a locomotive is for the conductor on a freight train.
This young fellow doesn't seem to get out much. You can still buy a pack of Kool cigarettes in the soft pack, and we still use those paper cone style cups to this day. Usually, they are right beside a Gatorade or water cooler, and that is not a "pull tab" Budweiser can. Lol
Stumbled across your video. I Have Great Respect for Someone like you who is full of Respect for His elders and How he got his Freedom. Very Hard Work and the Love of Others. Thanks Brother !!!!
I like the video
I just joined. Very informative video. The only long distance train experience I had was the beginning of 1967. I was in the fourth grade at the time. The train was the Silver Meteor. Leaving Penn Station Newark NJ to Tampa Florida. About 25 hours in coach. The train was operated by the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad. If I recall correctly. The locomotive looked the same like the one in the video. As I said correctly because it was a long time ago lol. When we returned from Florida three months later. It was on the Silver Star. Again by the Seaboard Coast Line. To New York Penn Station. The plan was to live in Florida. But due to family issues we had to return up north.
Coka
Could be water funnels
To start there's a bunch of breakers u gotta flip on
Hate seeing it sit there
I encourage people to support Amtrak
I love amtrak
Off the side of train lol
Wonder if it will start
Our country and government sucks
Hate seeing train cars empty cause homeless people could use them to sleep in
Where is this grave site located? What state and city?
Racist city 🎉
Carry an old time weed whip in your trunk so you could whip a path for yourself. My grandma had one we used often on large swaths of grass ect.
We had a couple of yard tracks to store the vintage passenger railcars in Los Angeles(1980's). They couldn't "Give Them Away' because it cost more in scrapping than the value of the stainless steel, copper, and iron. One private party started to dismantle one of those passenger cars and gave up less than half way threw because he was spending more on acetylene than the worth of the scrap metal. That's why you see places like this where they just abandon them in abandoned tracks. I do know of two private parties who bought a coach car each to restore and lease them out for private parties. They ran behind the last Amtrak car and the baggage car. Even that was a money loser. Changing subjects......face the equipment when you descend the ladder on any railcar or locomotive.
All of the the porcelain sinks and toilet are the first thing the 'Scrappers' smash to recover the copper pipes and valves.
Meanwhile they left a ton of valuable copper in the first engine
re: 24:20 :....except when in Station." That's because the toilet had no holding tank so everything just dropped on the ground. Not a problem unless you worked in the track department.
its a shame that the Amtrak engine is just rotting. Talk about "Government efficiency". 😕
great RUclips channel. I love the dialogue and lack of gimmicks and over the top hype. Great videos. I appreciate all the NJ content as well, being a former NJite.
thank you so much!
The bodies we wear come (indirectly) from the Earth, and being borrowed, it is right they should return to Her. I applaud your dedication in so respectfully making this vodeo and highlighting a piece of the past.
Thank you sir!
Is that first engine a GP7? Might be ex-C&NW with those ATC controls in the cabinet!
I think Amtrak was formed in 1972
Close - 1971. (May 1st, 1971, to be exact.)
Next time can you video the outside of the cars. That would provide a wealth of info as well.
I will thanks for letting me know!
mid or early '70's, i'd say
One of the engines was a F7 . I did not see enough detail to tell what the others were.
It's an f-7 from the fifties or maybe 60s it's neater than hell it's sad that people have to vandalize everything 😔
Each train has an unique number located on the engine. If desired, you can purchase the train with all of the cars for about the same cost as the scrap value. First you need to check ownership of the train to see if Amtrack stills owns it. Obviously this video was made by trespassing on private property 😮
Thanks so much for the history lesson and your wealth of knowledge about that small house with the strong, sturdy structure. Still around after all these years. Good find! Shows the quality they built with years ago, the strong wind destroysmost housing we build today😢😮!
BTW Not abandoned very much owned and monitored, Not compatible with the new systems of the multi -level fleet. Unable to be upgraded to the new computers needed and phased out by the Alp46 fleet.
Great video love trains
Thank you very much!
