Divers go underwater to map submerged trains in Delaware River

Original Airdate: 10/22/2014 | They travel the murky depths of the Delaware River, usually to recover people who have died in unfortunate accidents, but Tuesday, members of the dive team at the Delaware Water Gap National Park got to do something else.

This is awesome I remember hearing about the wreck years ago while on a trolly tour of the Water Bus.

Two extremely rare 1885 V Class locomotives were salvaged from the Oreti River here lower down the South Island of New Zealand, they spent over 90 years in water and mud when purposely dumped in the river in the 1920’s for flood protection, they are now displayed on a specially built track, you can look it up if your curious about our own little discovery which made history
