Rotting Trains

Came across these amazing rotting trains at a scrapyard in Eastern Washington. I seem to remember some trains being posted in the PNW forum at some point. Not sure if they were the same ones or some other weirdo row of similar cars. Or something else entirely. If anyone recognizes the location, I'd love some more information.

Amazing. The first picture looks like an old Greyhound bus.

Beautiful pics! Nice find.

Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

I like the bus. It could be refurbished and then used in a fanciful movie about a traveling rock band from the Fifties. Its cool!

Very cool, epignosis. Nice find! I'm glad you were able to get some interior shots, and I love the amount of decay/wear that the trains have. The lighting at dusk definitely adds to the overall effect of the images. Thanks for sharing!

Ah hah! After obsessing over it my brother was able to track down information on that bus.

http://www.oldbus....d/147/Default.aspx

"It’s a 1935 Kenworth that was owned by North Coast Lines, bus # 708. Originally seats 12 passengers on the upper deck and 13 on the lower deck. They have an original picture of the bus and I will see about getting a copy of it. The book eludes to the fact that there was a few of these busses, produced here in the Northwest, but it’s the only one left. It may have been manufactured in Everett or Seattle by someone associated with the aircraft industry.

The bus was used on routes between Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, Everett, Bellingham and Vancouver. The Railroad owned a few busses and used them primarily around the train hubs to try and keep Greyhound and other bus lines from taking passengers away from the trains. The bus later found it’s home in Richland, WA and the Tri-City area and transported workers out to the Hanford nuclear facility. It was sold and a man used it as a bunkhouse and sat in a backyard till it was disposed of to a local wrecking yard.

The treasure of the WASRHS museum went to the junk yard when it was announced that they were going to close up in search of old usable hot rod parts and stumbled across the buss. That is how it found it’s way into the ownership of the museum. They have some pictures of it prior to being loaded on the train car."
