I noticed that on Monday 9/20 on Deep Sea Detectives they go off the Jersey coast to dive a couple of old train engines in 90'. Has anyone done a dive like this involving trains??

Haven't dived on a train but that sounds like a cool wreck. I had heard that there was a train at the bottom of Yankee Doodle Lake high in the mountains here in Colorado, but my research has found out that there is not now nor never was a train at the bottom of that lake (altitude approx 12,000 feet). I recently read in a Tim Cahill book ( I can't remember the title) that there is a locomotive dive in Montana. Does anyone know anything about that dive?

lost, even with a compass
That is my kind of dive. I know there is one in Alaska...bbrrr. Not sure off the top of my head but if anyone is intersted I am sure I could come up with some info.

Dove the ones you saw on the show with the guy who re-re discovered them, kinda eerie as they are not " wrecked" (like most of the other stuff we dive) just sitting upright on the bottom nearly side by side like they were just parked there. Hope other people will get the chance to see them as they have already been "arrested"

Rumor has it there's a locomotive engine in Northern CA sitting on the bottom of a resevoir.
If I hear more on the location of the thing I'll post about it.

We have some train cars here off of the Outer Banks of NC. I've never been on them, but it sounds like an interesting dive. Anyone been on them here? I think they are off of Kill Devil Hills.

Theres a train sunk in Lake Winnipesaukee NH - anyone done that one? We were going to try it once but didn't get there for various reasons.

There is a train wreck in the Piscataqua River. Somewhat silted in and diveable only during the right time of day (tidal river) but interesting.
