The massive scrapyards of southern Florida

[Bales]

Went on a train recently in Florida and saw these massive 100+ car piles waiting to be scrapped.

 

Starting off with some Crown Vics, there are many behind the front I found out.

 

This looks like a car park from afar but then I saw a Mustang, a Jaguar XF and a Tesla.

 

And then, here’s the last stage of cars being scrapped, piled up about to die.

Never in my whole life have I seen railways looking so grim and unusable. And I'm Romanian!

Hey, that’s the Florida tri-rail, from England so it’s strange for me as well.

Yeah, I’ve seen them before, couldn’t get photos of the larger ones.

Very correct sir.

Australian yards seem happy to just keep expanding outwards... guess they've plenty of space.

Also, their stock rotation is fairly minimal.

That track is in damn fine shape.

 

You should see the rest of the US rail infrastructure.
