[@braysfinds7479]

From my history of observing and studying railroad equipment. My guess was that the tanker was filled with water, those appear to be older steam heating coaches. A hose would probably connect to a steam generator in one of the coaches, an old boxcar, or the locomotive pulling it. This water would then obviously be turned into steam and provide heat in the coaches. Keep in mind steam heated trains were wiped out in the early 1980's for more conventional electric heating so you would be right. Also another thing I noticed was the Amtrak paint of one of the coaches, used on trains from 1971 to about 1974. So these coaches have either been there a long time. Or simply just went through a bunch of owners, maybe both.

As a child, I found a Dodge aluminum box truck very deep in the forest. I have no idea how it got there in one piece. The glass was even in one piece. There were trees everywhere. The date on the box truck was 1965, as far as I could tell. There was a journal inside a console that had mileage driven, oil changes with their dates and other maintenence dates. The earliest date on the journal was 1965. The truck belonged to something called, "Blue Bell." The back of the box truck was full of all manner of interesting things. There were things about the Lunar landing, a framed picture of President Nixon, a really old .22 caliber pistol, filing cabinets full of old paperwork, two old chest freezers, tools, really old radios, an American flag that was attached to the ceiling, and a few suitcases full of clothing. It seems maybe someone lived out of the box truck. I actually got my first set of tools out of that box truck. I still have some of those tools. Maybe I should hike into the forest someday and see if that old aluminum box truck is still there. I was the only one to know about it when I was a kid. I used to leave little things that would fall over if anybody visited the old box truck. They were always undisturbed.

The PPCX markings on the outside of the cars is the "American Association of Private Railroad Car Owners". So apparently these were either privately owned cars or owned or leased by a small company. It looks like there has been some scrapping done (copper wiring) and the undergrowth doesn't really look like more than maybe 20 years or so since it was pulled in. It would probably cost more to cut it up and haul to the scrap yard than it would be worth. Unless the local Wal-Mart needs a bigger parking lot it will still be there 20 years from now. Reminds me of the docu-series "Life After People". Cool find though.

ChaosDemonwolf1 you do realize that this train is in really good condition for how long it’s been sitting there, right? The seats may be missing, though there is a good chance they were removed by Amtrak to be used in other cars, and there is some graffiti on the inside of the cars, but the fact that most of the utilities and wiring are still there, which are usually the first things taken, shows how well it is still preserved due to not many knowing where it is. Also, judging by the level of skill in the graffiti, it probably caused by teenagers who live in the area and go there to hang out and / or other illegal activities. As for the missing windows, I’m not really sure what happened with those cause if they were busted out be vandals, there would be broken glass on the ground and still in the window, but there’s not, so it was either removed by Amtrak, and someone spent the time cutting them out to use elsewhere. My point is, compared to like 80% of other sites, this is in very good condition, so he’s not going to say where it is so that future vandals don’t destroy it more.

That is amazing to me that no one has recycled that metal. The railway tracks alone are worth $$$$. That is crazy. It looks as though the car were stripped a bit. The sink tops are missing and I seen all the seats are gone. Great Video.

It is truly amazing how much abandon infrastructure can be found in the United States. Railroads Equipment & Yards, Telephone Company Facilities & Networks, etc.... So sad, & such a waste. I think I found the spur, just south of Ashland, AL. It looks like an industrial lead, that ends at the base of a power substation. Mostly an industrialized area, with homes just to the west of it. I suspect this sort of thing is found throughout our country. A sad commentary on our country.

[@iannonhebel677]

Insulation may be Asbestos which was used extensively throughout the rail industry during a large part of the 20th Century because of its fire retardant properties. The construction and maintenance of railway engines and carriages up to the 1970’s involved the widespread use of asbestos. It was regarded as an ideal material for insulating the boilers of engines on steam trains, lagging pipes, packing piston cylinders and providing brake pads. Blue asbestos was often used to insulate train carriages whilst asbestos was also packed behind panels in the carriages in order to retain heat. In addition to the use of asbestos in the engines and carriages it was also commonplace throughout the station buildings, signal boxes, depots and offices. The trains themselves were used to transport asbestos materials throughout the country for use in other industries.

[@casadelshed9128]

Ian Nonhebel Hello from Australia, there was a bunch of obsolete train carriages in Victoria full of asbestos ,they were deemed too dangerous , expensive to scrap so they buried them in an quarry, asbestos was a good product but too dangerous to use.

[@notgoinback2cali236]

My thought it that it was cheaper to abandon this than pay to properly dispose of the abestos

[@chasethompson7392]

From experience that train is not flame retardant, it burned down

[@Joe-bv7io]

Brake pads are still asbestos containing materials. Many people would be surprised to know that items containing asbestos are also likely to be in products in their homes.

[@paulcondie2520]

My father worked on railroad for 48 years. Mesothelioma was his cause of death from all asbestos from the railroad! He started working in car shop after getting out of navy after world war2. The railroad wasn't only his career but a passion of his. Towards the last 20 years of his career he was an engineer and it was familiar to see him waiving out of a locomotive as it went by! He was an awesome dad!!!

When you do urban exploring you always leave stuff the way it was, so the next guy can enjoy it the same as you.
