Quick trip to check out the legendary Trolley Graveyard. Please do not hit me up in a PM asking where this is. It was a great time and here are the first few shots from the trip.

Ha, you need to make up a fake story about this being the site of a big tragedy in the 50s and sell books at $80 a pop like everyone's hero Seph Lawless. Nice smoke plume.

Looks like an interesting place. Not exactly hard to find out where it is though.

Did you have to sneak in, or did you contact the owner? not that long ago I read a thread somewhere where someone was able to contact the owner and was given a tour. Although now with the popularity and vandalism there now I would doubt that's still an option.

My buddy set the whole trip up. We just followed a path and there it was. Simple. We were on location by 6am and out by 10ish. Very quiet. I love the place. Its to bad its so easy to get too. But few will actually make the trip im sure. I had many people PM me about this one lol. So maybe not as popular as some may think. Last 2 shots i think ill add to the set.

It looks so cool overgrown. It was pretty cool and desolate in winter, but I am all about overgrowth.
