Yes there are dozens of lost Locomotives from pre-1900 underwater. it was typical to load locomotives on the decks of ships, when a storm hit, the load sometimes shifted and the captain either opted to dump the deck loads for balance, or they were thrown overboard by the weather. <br /> <br />As for why they weren't raised, some have been and been partially restored, but after 100+ years there really is no reason to raise them, as most of the metal is long rusted away and what's left is very fragile.
