[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by john7470</i> <br /><br />Up in Maine: <br /> <br />1) Eagle lake, deep in the Allagash Wilderness Waterway has two old steam locos (turn-of-the-century ex NYC, I believe) rotting in the woods. They were used in logging operations until the 30s. Bring your canoe... there is no road access. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, if you check out the Rumourweb site listed, you will find that these engines have actually been saved and are no longer there. <br /> <br />I've always been extremely fascinated by this subject. Whenever I see or hear about abandoned railroad equipment, it always angers me greatly, but at the same time am completely fascinated and curious about it. I can't help but fanticise about these trains being rescued and restored some day. If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to try and do so. <br /> <br />There was mention of the E&N in BC. There are actually some abandoned steam locomotives still existing in British Columbia, check out this link: http://members.shaw.ca/preservedsteambc/forgotten_bc_locis.htm . <br /> <br />Another thing that may help you is to go to google and do image searches for "Abandoned Train", "Derelict Train", etc. Many of the results will get you to non-railfan sites that have information that you might not find otherwise.
