In the woods of Maine are the neglected remains of two locomotives
The Eagle Lake and West Branch (ELWB) Railroad Locomotive #1, was built in June 1897 at Schenectady Locomotive Works (4-6-0 stamped #4552), it was originally a steam locomotive but later converted to burn crude oil to eliminate the forest fire threat caused by cinders. Number 1 was purchased by Great Northern in 1926 and used to haul pulpwood in the Allagash area from 1927-1933.ELWB Locomotive

Update on the Portugese barn find collection that shocked everyone a couple years ago, full story and list of cars
Feb 2007 was when 58 photos and a description of a barn with steel doors welded shut was opened for the first time in decades and this collection was found. Well, the story was all made up... but a journalist finally went to get to the truth of the matter in 2009, and new photos as well as a complete inventory are after the linkhttp://www.hagerty.com/Hagerty-Online/News/Features/All-articles/

Hear that screaming? Hear the cry of outrage? Yup, they just looked at this GT500 Shelby Mustang Cobra on a junkyard heap of junk cars. The point is
that this should get us fired up, like when Car Craft once had a photo of a Camaro that was being eaten by the jungle slowly... and the submission was accompanied by the phrase "we lost one, but let it be remembered by saving others" (Adam Rosenbaum, Portland Maine) from http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=428585&page=561it reminded me ofthat I posted a couple years ago http://

Cars make great fertilizer, who says you can't love jalopies and be a tree hugger? Your jalopy is a tree hugger! Here's picture proof
