The landscape of America was once crisscrossed with railroad tracks. Today, the golden age of train travel has passed, and many antique locomotives are languishing in train graveyards such as the one in this video by YouTube channel “Your purkz.” Look through the pictures for a preview of the video, and then be sure to check out the footage at the bottom for yourself.
These trains were originally from the Bessemer & Lake Erie Railroad. They were eventually sold to Southern Railroad Co. of New Jersey before being left here to decay.

It’s interesting to think about how many abandoned and hidden train graveyards might exist out in the woods. Do you think these retro locomotives should be restored or left to decay?
