My town has a museum with a 1948 steam locomotive in PERFECT CONDITION, only used for about 7 years, than straight into museums, last time it was used was in the 80s/90s when it was being moved here, and dang they are beautiful! I’m so glad they were kept them ☺️, it’s crazy just looking at it , their weels are bigger than people!
It's a relief to see that at last some people were able to get beyond th age of coal. Hint for you, Gigi: we're all going to have to do it everywhere if we're not to kill off millions of people in the coast zones of the Earth. Nothing sad here: be grateful that your ancestors had about twice the wit you do.
12:05 It's good to see the good people of Whistler are all chipping in to help preserve the train. When I think of all the people who donated their time and what little paint they could spare, it warms my heart.
Ahhh dang! I used to live thier but never found the opportunity to see it, but I’m trying to visit a friend who lives in the area this summer, so you never know!
The first trains ... are no longer abandoned. A group was formed and now is takin care of them. There is now a road ... you still have to hike the last mile. I'm more interested in the logging machinery that pulled the logs out of the water after they had been floated there. That machinery is still there as well.
4:30 Those locomotives are owned to this day by the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad in eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania. The lead locomotive is a GP10 and the rear one is a GP9, both built by the Electro-motive Division of General Motors.
So many of these are so eerie, especially that first one. Just the thought of finding these friendly-seeming mechanical titans laying abandoned in the forest seeming like they could move at any time is kind of scary.
A few things 1- the Locomotives that are claimed to be abandoned in Kazakhstan are actually owned by the Youngstown and Southeastern Railroad and they still operate 2- the section of line that they filmed the fugitive wreck on isn't abandoned, it's still used by the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad for their excursion from Bryson City North Carolina to Dillsboro North Carolina, you can ride the train and go right by the wreck site.
I work for a railroad but anybody can see those lights are on and the engineer on the left and the conductor on the right are definitely sitting in their seats
I feel like that last dude was just collecting trains at that point "hey, arent you gonna scrap those towers of trains?" "yea yea, in a minute, im getting more trains!"
The fact that trains last a long time is very true. In Italy there was an electric locomotive (E626) that lasted from 1929 to 1999. It was at first used to pull passenger trains, then it passed on freighter trains. Even today, most of the freighter trains in Italy are pulled by locomotives from the 70's.
4:34 The Youngstown & Southeastern Railroad. Those two engines are in use today. In fact on Google Earth Almost one mile East from Negley, OH, you can see theses two engines sitting in a very tiny yard……….Toots. Follow the tracks………
It's almost laughable how many times that photo shows up on the internet as an abandoned train. I used to work for the Y&S. The location is Mill Rock Cut, near Rogers, Ohio. It is definitely not abandoned.
Not sure why they said it's the oldest continuously operated railroad though. It was definitely closed in the late 90's. They even ripped up the tracks and paved smooth the crossings
I have been to the Bolivian train cemetery while doing a tourist trip from La Paz to Arica Chile. It is an amazing place in the middle of a remote desert. So cool!!
Here in Brasil we have the Madeira-Mamore rail failed project in middle of amazonian jungle, is a estrange and amazing story of greed and deaths, with abandoned infraestructure and locomotives. Another and more strange is a deposit full of brand-new, never used, Alston EC-363 in boxes on a extinct FEPASA estate company.
4:28, that’s literally the Youngstown Southeastern Railway, tracks still active and operating... the locomotives are EMD GP10s and stuff... “frankly we have no idea who to believe” it’s pretty obvious who you’re supposed to believe here...
I did some research: We Brits upgraded our high speed line which changed how power was delivered, meaning the 373s couldn't run. Combine that with a known issue in snow and 20 years of salt wear from the tunnel you're left with a train that's cheaper to replace than upgrade. Fascinating!
It's sad that so many of these iconic and history rich trains are being lost to time and the elements. Anyone who's visited and physically touched these historic giants, can testify to a literal and direct connection to all of our past. There is something reverent and important to making that physical connection.
5:46 they are a pair of ggi that we’re used after ww2 and was first introduced in 1887 then was made 1933 and put into service in 1945 by Chicago,Burlington & Quincy for the penn line new York new jersey

At 4:50 that train is the Youngstown and Southerneastern in Ohio and is not abandoned. If you look closely you can see the crew in high visibility vests and the headlights are on. They are a short line
4:23 see that, the person is on a bridge, notice there is no bridges after that 4:28 see this, the guy is on the same bridge this indicates that the train is moviny
I've seen literally miles of locomotives parked on side tracks all across America. Everything from F units to center cab and AC modern, you can find it parked somewhere. 💙 T.E.N.
the rail cars left in the woods in whistler, British Columbia are a short distance from the actual railroad line. The cars were dragged to their location which was a field at that time by a logging company that was hired to clear the right of way.
About the Hungarian graveyard: It was usual in the Easter Europe (East side of the Iron Curtain) that trains displayed a red star on their front (in case of diesel and electric locomotives at both ends). So the equipment is not necessarily of a Soviet origin. Soviet passenger carriages were typical by longitudinal moldings on the sides and a Soviet national symbol in the middle at the window height. These carriages look different. Obviously, I remember Soviet trains from the second half of the 20th century (they were enabled for a gauge change - changing the boggies at the border), earlier carriages could be different.
Hungary used the same rail gage as the USSR as a standard gage. I've got plenty of track diagrams showing all the interchange points at the borders of Ukraine and Belarus where they crossed into the satellite states. most if not all these countries changed their rail gages after the USSR broke up.
I agree. That's why I was wondering why he called a locomotive a "train" then announced it was to be attached to a collection of railcars which, of course, is a train.
If your ever going to see these abandoned locomotives make sure to bring something sturdy like sturdy boots or a jacket or something. There could be splinters or broken glass inside of these locomotives.
4:45 if you zoom in you can literally see a hand in the right side window with the yellow green high viz vest. Also, the lights are most definitely on, if it was caused by light refraction, the hue of the light color would not be so different from the surrounding area, if it was a sunset with the sun behind camera man you would expect to see similar color highlights in the surrounding are or on the train itself.
When Beijing was demolishing a railroad segment between Xizhimen station (now Beijingbei, lit. Beijing North) and Wulu station, they forgot to move one of their steam locomotives near Wulu station. Therefore, they decided to put it in a park next to the Wulu station, and the locomotive is still in that park as of today. The interesting part was the closest track to that locomotive was just no more than 200m away. In the recent years, they demolished the Wulu station and also another few hundred meters of tracks, then changed some of the remaining track into a railroad-themed park with some decommissioned cab cars (but not the same park as I mentioned - the park with the locomotive is across the street, though). It would be nice if they can move the locomotive to the cabs I think.

Where?
It's sad to see all of these locomotives abandoned.
Can’t they be located in a rail museum or a museum created at one of the spots - say one for each state ? Will be interesting
It's a relief to see that at last some people were able to get beyond th age of coal.
Hint for you, Gigi: we're all going to have to do it everywhere if we're not to kill off millions of people in the coast zones of the Earth.
Nothing sad here: be grateful that your ancestors had about twice the wit you do.
If it was actually abandoned, why are there people in green shirts in the Cab of the Locomotive?
Steam engines and coal mining so you want go mine coal for 12 hours a day we have railroads that look ancient too

Awesome, so would they be able to be restored to running condition?
@@Arturobrito0502 if they are it will be after extensive rebuilding and re-machining.
Where in Maine are they located? I wanna go north sometime and see those.

This makes me sad. I would have cried as a kid if I saw this. Amazing pieces of history just being left to be reclaimed by nature.

Little Me : I love this!!
I don't normally care for trains that much, but this was interesting, so thank you.
Cool those trains should be restored and painted for historical purposes

@@jm0lesky right on, I read up on their history. I found their engine roster a while back and I’m modeling no. 222 as I write this.
they also have engines sitting at an intersection in north lima ohio by a depot
Not sure why they said it's the oldest continuously operated railroad though. It was definitely closed in the late 90's. They even ripped up the tracks and paved smooth the crossings
All these steam locos should be preserved as engineering heritage. It's very sad to see these getting lost into pile of rust.
I'm so terrified and fascinated of trains
Great to see it finished
I love trains but to see abandoned train breeks my heart
I have been to the Bolivian train cemetery while doing a tourist trip from La Paz to Arica Chile. It is an amazing place in the middle of a remote desert. So cool!!
I've been to the Maine locomotives. Absolutely amazing

I love steam trains it so sad to see them die in memory
Theres just something eerie seeing these trains abandoned,more so the single ones left in the woods
Hi will you Hire Me For Body Message, Relaxation, Personal Secretary At Your Place And I Care You Always
I like the look of the Locomotive's from the 20s-40s They had that Art-Deco streamline look to them,Classy 👍
4:28, that’s literally the Youngstown Southeastern Railway, tracks still active and operating... the locomotives are EMD GP10s and stuff... “frankly we have no idea who to believe” it’s pretty obvious who you’re supposed to believe here...
Would love to have one of those parked in front of my house. :-)
The Royal mail train is still on an active line, It's just sat to one site in a siding
4:39 that’s the Illinois railway museum
These videos are so amazing keep up the awesome job my friend
Hello my friend! I'm very happy, really. Thank you for being satisfied with my work. I try my best for all of you! Thank you my friends!
@@LightningTop12 your so welcome my friend the abandoned things are my favorite
nice thanks
I bet that Royal Mail train is being used as a wind break
It’s amazing that industrialization had no long term plans for the retrieval of scrap when trains were no longer needed. 🤔
It's called capitalism. Destroyer of our world.
Amazing the Eurostars were only used for 20 years and then scrapped.
I did some research:
We Brits upgraded our high speed line which changed how power was delivered, meaning the 373s couldn't run. Combine that with a known issue in snow and 20 years of salt wear from the tunnel you're left with a train that's cheaper to replace than upgrade. Fascinating!
The terminology isn't always correct, but overall a good vid.
It's sad that so many of these iconic and history rich trains are being lost to time and the elements.

There is something reverent and important to making that physical connection.
Thx 👏👍
Hey! Thank you. Have a good day!
5:45 That thing just has an Art Deco, House on Hunted Hill vibe to it...
I always get a kick out of these posta.
Thats awesome i didn't realize that train crash Scene was real i literally jist watched that movie!
3:01 those boiler pipes are often used for road culverts, seen many of them and walked through when I was a kid.
In Paraguay we have a few trains that are not working any more, and they take care of them and they are almost in perfect shape
I came across those trains in Maine in the mid 70s while canoeing 180 miles on the Allagash River during a portage
I have been to Thessaloniki many times and haven't seen these trains on my visit in 2 months I will make it my business to see this.
5:46 they are a pair of ggi that we’re used after ww2 and was first introduced in 1887 then was made 1933 and put into service in 1945 by Chicago,Burlington & Quincy for the penn line new York new jersey

No you didn’t lil bro
4:20 is not far from where I live. It's the Youngstown and southeastern railroad
Owned by Indiana Box Car Corporation IBCX 8343
Model: Rebuilt EMD GP10 Built As: IC 9040 (GP9)
At 4:50 that train is the Youngstown and Southerneastern in Ohio and is not abandoned. If you look closely you can see the crew in high visibility vests and the headlights are on. They are a short line
9:30 if you're wondering why that train is abandoned its because the type of train that it is went out of service.
I've been to one in North Carolina, it's an amazing place, mostly known for the filming of the fugitive.
I've been there also. Did you visit the damn? Sylva and Bryson City? My brother lives in Whittier NC
There's always some J A with a spray can
CTA & IRM got good representation.
i lived and my parents still live in area where trains from 60's are still being used every day
Also Most Of Them Are Actually Steam Trains From 1958 1899 Or 2001
4:23 see that, the person is on a bridge, notice there is no bridges after that 4:28 see this, the guy is on the same bridge this indicates that the train is moviny
I don't know much about trains, but lights and vests aside, there is no debris on the train despite fallen leaves everywhere else
Yup, and their paint was flawless.
I guess OP expects us to believe that they were abandoned yesterday.
Amazing trains..
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
I've seen literally miles of locomotives parked on side tracks all across America. Everything from F units to center cab and AC modern, you can find it parked somewhere. 💙 T.E.N.
It could be objectively debated that the Royal Mail train is still in service and in use.
I love trains
I’ve been to the Fugitive crash site in NC. It’s pretty cool.
That is so cool.🎉
Can’t believe how this happens just abandoned stuff laying all over the world 🤷🏻♂️
the rail cars left in the woods in whistler, British Columbia are a short distance from the actual railroad line. The cars were dragged to their location which was a field at that time by a logging company that was hired to clear the right of way.
Kind of fast and loose with the terms trains versus locomotives, huh?
In general, most people are unfortunately
Who cares
@itsweb1584 Some people do because the use of the word train is incorrect. "Train" refers to the locomotive + whatever it is pulling
Love your videos !!
wow, thank you very much my dear friend, I liked your comment!!!

The future if all rail, according to the airline and highway lobbies.
The lights are off all the dirt off because I didn’t saw the pictures. It may be off or on.
At 08:03, the locomotive looks like a USATC S160 Class.
Those are cool wrecks but still sad
"Train" is a collection of cars, locomotives, etc. "Locomotive" is the thing on the front that causes the train to move
I was so mad that he kept saying train instead of locomotive.
"A collection of abandoned railcars that the train was attached to....."
Er, that actually is the train!!
@@historyinfo-bites I mean when he called individual engines trains
I agree. That's why I was wondering why he called a locomotive a "train" then announced it was to be attached to a collection of railcars which, of course, is a train.

WHAT A WASTEFUL CIVILIZATION WE ARE
Woah! Interesting!
I think you need to recognize the difference between “trains” that you use ubiquitously; and locomotives, coaches and freight cars.
I don’t why this is so interesting
There is a abandoned wooden train workshop in the UK with some trains and wagons parked inside
The Abandoned Trains Look Scary, But Also I’m Decaying.
Yea, well, 110 years in salt water will tend to do that to a large metal object such as yourself.
4:27 Those lights are definitely on.
If your ever going to see these abandoned locomotives make sure to bring something sturdy like sturdy boots or a jacket or something. There could be splinters or broken glass inside of these locomotives.
Yes I injured like a month ago thx for telling
These armmegedon peices are cool
I work on a site that has a loco from the 50s still in service. It's not the smoothest ride but it can still handle anything we throw at it.
Craziness!
10:51 grandpa knows those trains from the movie the fugitive
Wow and Leicester doesn’t even have its own rail way anymore just a pass through
4:27 that train is NOT abandoned. The headlights and ditch lights are ON. And there are 2 men in the cab.
3am this is what my brain wants I guess
Yeah I takes a lot of prep to build on Perma frost you have to pretty much dig down and around and replace it all with material that won't hold water.
4:45 if you zoom in you can literally see a hand in the right side window with the yellow green high viz vest.

The foto at 8:06 is not in greece.
It's in germany. Probably at hermeskeil or falkenberg/elster
When you tell someone to look at something on a train make sure you a showing the actual train they should be looking at.
I've seen the wrecked train in NC. I saw it during a train ride on the Smoky Mountain Railroad.
That GG1 is neat looking
The music between train locations is way too loud.
