Train Graveyard - April 08

KingElvis · Apr 27, 2008

Found this graveyard full of old carriages and engines on the way back from the Get Carter Carpark visit in Gateshead.

I love all things rail and after finding my way in, I was in heaven

Loads of stuff here dating back to the British Rail days of old. This is however a dangerous site full of sharp metal spikes and rotten floors...be careful if you visit.

Hope you enjoy......KingElvis

Thanks for looking.

Looks good but you don't need to put "report" in the title.

good work, really love the extent of the decomposition of some of the carriages. do you have any pictures of the 'cockpit'??? of the train?

Superb photo's. Love the one with the ferns growing through the carraige floor. I remember going aroung Dai Llewellyns breakers yard in Barry in the early 80's and I didn't have a camera ~ such a shame as there were so really great pictures to to be had.

Looks like 47540 is making a bid to return to her original body colour livery of Green which is the colour she was when released to traffic 17/3/64 as D1723.

King Al · Apr 28, 2008

Great find KE, I liked the old slam door trains better than these new sardine class rock hard seat shit they have now

Fennesz · Apr 28, 2008

What a great find, thanks for the pics! Why cant i just stumble across something like this!

nursepayne · Apr 28, 2008

Great site! I love the different styles of seating according to the fashion of design at that time. Really nice find.

za gringo · Apr 28, 2008

That is a great find. nice one! imalso supprised there is no graff inside the trains as it looks like it could have been a great smoking den for locals in its prime.

KingElvis · Apr 28, 2008

It's not exactly difficult to "find" though, is it...

This empty field is where the trains no live, these map things are out of date as they have been there a while.

Sorry it took a while for all those who asked
