Sunken train?

[Sea Spartan]

I found this website Surviving Steam Locomotives in the USA and it says that there is a sunken locomotive in a quarry near Nicholson, PA. I am intrested if there are any other divers out there that have dove it or may know any info on it.

You know, I went on a locomotive hunt also https://www.mackinacislandnews.com/news/2005-07-09/Columnist/065.html

When nothing was found I found a website with quite a database sn-495

It seems that on a very rare occasion did railroads leave anything of value. If they did, generally during the war effort on the home front many citizens collected the scrap metal for the war.

I too have studdied the website you linked to and have found that the database was obtainded from a former website called rumorweb and most of the Lost locomotives are just rumors. Take a look as some of the photos of the recovery efforts of wrecked locomotives. Quite interesting. They went to great efforts to at least get scrap value of the locomotives.

Just like many of our wrecks here in and around Thunder Bay. Almost all of the engines have been removed and salvaged. It is amazing when you decend on a foredeck and make your way aft and find the stern or engine missing on 80% of our wrecks.
