Rusty Rails @lemmy.world Chris @rabbitea.rs Abandoned mine train in Canada's Bankhead ghost town
cross-posted from: https://reddthat.com/post/2734764
Bankhead was an old mining town on the Cascade Mountain (Alberta, Canada).
The area's now in Banff National Park and the town is a tourist attraction, so it's not quite as abandoned as some of the places posted here.

Rusty Rails @lemmy.world PabloPicasshole @lemmy.world Elevated Tracks Leading to Reading Terminal, Philadelphia, PA
Now known as the Reading Terminal Market, an enclosed public market located at 12th and Arch Streets in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original Reading Terminal opened originally in 1893 under the elevated train shed of the Reading Railroad Company after the city of Philadelphia advocated to move public markets from the streets into indoor facilities for both safety and sanitary reasons.

Rusty Rails @lemmy.world PabloPicasshole @lemmy.world Heading to Pennsylvania
United States Transportation Corp #5002, an 0-6-0T steam switcher built by the H.K. Porter Company in 1942. Originally built to be shipped overseas the little locomotive never got around to making the trip and ended up staying in the U.S.
In the 1960's she was sold to an amusement park in Cumberland Falls, KY called "Tombstone Junction" who attempted to power a train ride with her and a sister unit. This proved technically difficult and they were sidelined and placed on display at the park until it closed in 1992. It was then sold to a private collector who moved it to the Kentucky Railway Museum in New Haven, KY where it sat.
It has recently been sold to a group in Pennsylvania and the engine has been moved here by KRM to wait for pick up and shipment by truck
