12 Most Amazing And Incredible Abandoned Trains

A well-built train can last for decades. So long as its parts can be maintained and the fuel that powers it doesn't get banned or go out of fashion, a train that was built in 1970 can still work in the 2020s. Trains have extremely long service lives, but when they get to the end of those lives, they're generally scrapped and recycled. That doesn't happen to every train, though - some of them manage to get themselves lost and abandoned, as you're about to see!

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.

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.

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.

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.

There is so much History with all those abandoned trains.

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

I like the look of the Locomotive's from the 20s-40s They had that Art-Deco streamline look to them, Classy 👍

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 amazing that industrialization had no long term plans for the retrieval of scrap when trains were no longer needed. 🤔

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!!

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...
