train graveyard

May 2025 I recently took a trip with @Mr Budge to an unassuming quarry in the Cheshire countryside, the quarry is home to a "train graveyard" featuring twelve abandoned DB Cargo/ EWS Class 60 diesel locomotives. These locomotives, affectionately known as "Tugs" by rail enthusiasts, were...

History "Twelve Class 60 diesel locomotives, once part of the DB Cargo fleet and built between 1989 and 1993, now lie abandoned in a Cheshire Quarry. The Brush Class 60 is a heavy freight diesel-electric locomotive that was built in Britain between 1989 and 1993. It was designed to be reliable...

Exploration I found this location via a Polish website. The description says that the locals might call the police when they see people wandering around the area, but I was there for more than an hour and nothing happened so it seems chill. I can't find any history on it, and the wagons were...

Hi, this is my first report, hopefully I'll get the format right! This was our first deliberate exploration, rather than somewhere we accidentally passed by and had a look at. We'd heard about the existence of these trains a few years ago from a friend, but never got round to doing the map...

Had to pop into south Wales for a work trip and I had caught sight of these on maps nearby, and thought it looked like it could be interesting. Turns out I was half right, in that only around half of the rolling stock remains currently - unfortunately gone are the two locomotives I spotted, one...

Everyone knows Red Star Train Graveyard in Budapest, but how about other locations? As real train-lovers, we have been searching old abandoned trains. Last summer we found an interesting train graveyard in Kraków. We hope you'll enjoy our photos.

Opened in the early 1900 then closed to passengers in the 1950s. The Trainline then was reopened by an organisation in 1974. The Trainline now operates steam hauled and diesel trains however at the end of the line you can see these rusted old carriages. The explore itself was very relaxed, as...

Hi everyone! This place itself don't realy have any history, it is a former freight yard which was used by mines of the area (which have all closed long ago). Now trains off all kinds are wainting here to be scrapped and recycled, as there is a dismantling plant next to it (but most of the...

This is a small train demolition plant with a bunch of old wagons and locomotives, many of which were still almost intact. Some of them were very unusual like a couple of old "covered" car transporters. Here is the link to the album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmFmZp9q Sorry for the lack of pics but we...

So this was one of our first locations of the day as we was doing a road trip around Kent... A very nice little start to a good urbex day! Anyways this place I have wanted to go to for way too long.... I wouldn’t really say that there is anything mega special about this location anymore sadly! I...

This place seems to have been done a lot recently but hey, this has been on my list to visit for /ages/ so myself and my two exploring buddies piled in to the car and off we went. Here's some history on the place: The Kent & East Sussex Railway opened in 1900 as England’s first ‘light railway’...

Having been inspired by @mookster visit to this site not so long ago, I set out towards Gloucester way on my day off work, as I had another few sites on the list to visit there anyway. History Hunting Butts tunnel often gets overlooked but it is the shorter of the two tunnels on the...

When seeing other peoples posts on the Train Graveyard, it triggered my romantic side as you can only imagine the amount of people they carried throughout their working life. Even though now reduced to a rotting carcass it was good to explore and I was please with some of the pictures I got...
