The train still looks good. If it’s to be repaired and restored, this will still be a valuable means of transportation.

I wonder what type of cargo this train used to carry. It had to have been some really heavy stuff.

It looks like it could still work to me. It should be restored.

The advancement of technology caused it to be forgotten. Nowadays we have electric trains and bullet trains.

The train has rust all ove. It must have been abandoned a long time ago.

I’m surprised at how they managed to move the train there. I bet it was a lot of work.

What a colourful train! I could see it standing the test of time because of its robust build. Awesome shots!

Awesome photo and a good sight to view. I hope trains like this will someday be used again in my locality.

I am curious why you like trains so much. I actually enjoy these types of pictures.

The other side says differently though because it looks too clean. However, seen at a bigger photo I can see that this has train has seen better days!!!Restoring it is perhaps a good idea.

This transportation system is one I’m yet to enjoy. Your government well is working on something now. Awesome shot.

I wonder how many adventures began, continued, and ended with these forgotten freight trains. If these trains could speak, I bet they all have a lot of interesting stories to tell.
