train graveyard - ny

Many fine cars and locomotives have been laid to rest here. Most of the cars, while musty and layered with dust, are intact. A stroll through them is like a tour through the history of industrial design. Seating styles and colors change from decade to decade; if you need any help placing them, most of the cars contain an old newspaper or two from which you can find a date. Perhaps the most interesting car is one that has been gutted (photo: right). It's skeletal remains lay on the rusty tracks, like some great beast that didn't make it out of the way of a train.
