I'm really glad that this topic has been dug up again! As I said in my post from a year ago, abandoned trains have always fascinated me. There isn't really too much around where I live. I have seen a really old wooden boxcar on some farm in Alberta while driving to Calgary. Wheat City Metals in Regina, Saskatchewan and Mandak in Selkirk, Manitoba both have lots of old rolling stock, but these are scrapyrds as opposed to graveyards, so I'm not sure if they really count. Wheat City could sort of be considered a graveyard, as for many month they had piles (literally) of old freight cars in their yard. Then, all of a sudden they just disappeared. What's really interesting, though, is an old NP heavyweight baggage car that they have sitting on their property. It was sitting, complete with trucks, on a siding for quite a while, but now the trucks are gone and it's sitting beside a shed. Someone should rescue it. Mandak is a scrapyard that exclusively cuts up railway equipment. They save useable parts, such as trucks, wheels, etc. and sell them. It really isn't in a good location for taking pictures, but I did get some when I was there. Keith, Excellent pictures! Thanks for sharing them with us! Hopefully there will be others with more to add to the list.
