Scrap or Save? Albany’s long abandoned locomotives face a pivotal moment

Published on: February 24th, 2023 | Written by: Bad Guy Joe

For over 30 years a small collection of trains sat abandoned just south of Albany, New York. Their time in obscurity has come to an end. In this video I revisit the site, show recent developments and head back to the office to detail what we’ve seen, what we’ve lost, and what will hopefully happen next.

For updates, check out the Danbury RR Museum FB page: https://www.facebook.com/DanburyRR/

Also, this video feature is on our new Youtube channel. Most of the videos for the moment will focus on abandoned trains.

NOTE: It sometimes takes a short while for comments to be approved - unfortunately there's a lot of spam comments that come in. I absolutely love when y'all share personal stories of friends relatives etc who worked in these places. It really helps capture what these places were like before they closed up shop.

If you're feeling salty, argumentative comments completely devoid of facts (supply links to support your argument) will not be published. Got a case to state? come with the details.

   I see you have joined the tubes. Welcome!

   A very informative video on those locomotives.

   Why no interior pictures?

   I took one or two but it was very dark in there, felt like everything was stripped, rusted and beat up. If and when they get to the museum it’s going to be a long job fixing them up inside.
