A train graveyard is a novel concept; we’ve before seen human graveyards in strange locations. In 2013, two trains buried beneath ninety feet of seawater were found by archaeologists sifting through the Atlantic Ocean off the shore of New Jersey. Because the water’s salt had kept the steam engines intact for almost 200 years, they were in good working order.
