Sometimes I feel like a wreck,all washed up,high and dry.Yea at times I can identify :) But when I look at this I can see its beauty and potential too. I mean just a a few lenghts of timber and a wee lick of paint and this wreck could be on the seas again! :)

Some pics I'm uploading to hopefully help Don Wilson out with the scale of these things.
This is a wrecked ship. I forgot to grab pics of an intact one, but here you can see some Vandals around it for scale. Vandals are a little taller than the player characters, from what I can tell (like maybe six and a half feet?).
Feel free to weigh in. I know the Fallen that serve the Queen seem taller, but it's not clear to me if they're vandals or captains.
Locals refer to this unique and wondrous site merely as 'The Train Wreck'.
The Train Wreck, seven box cars scattered over a One kilometres patch of forest, the debris from a high speed freight train crash in 1957 or 1958, South Of Function Junction near the Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia, Canada. Too expensive to clear up, apart from the engine unit, the Whistler community decided to leave the wreck in situ and allow the birth of an amazing location, a bike trail and even an art gallery thanks to the incredibly vivid and stylish graffiti that covers each and every box car.
The train wreck is sort of a local secret, and I only found out about it's existence from one of the young hotel receptionists at the Crystal Lodge Hotel in Whistler village, who told me that it was great for photography and hiking. So for this series of photographs, let's wander along the forest pathway, passing waterfalls and crossing the train tracks, into the wilderness to discover those not so secret carriages from the train wreck.
The walk begins at Olives Community Market at 1200 Alpha Lake Road, Whistler, BC V0N 1B1, close to Function Junction in Whistler BC. Behind Olives there is an unmarked pathway into the dense and beautiful forest, though you only find this out upon asking in Olives community market where the ladies serving fantastic gluten free and fresh foods were incredibly friendly and helpful in handing me a printed piece of paper with directions to the train wreck itself. Here, walking at a fairly leisurely pace, almost one hour into the forest trail, the railway track takes a devious left turn and inwards to the forest are the striken box cars, like fallen warriors on the battlefield.
On the point of giving up, an hour into the trail and old legs and dogs paws screaming 'Enough already', we came back out onto the railway track from the forest. Up ahead I walked around a bend and saw in the distance a very sharp left handed bend. Could this be the point of derailment I thought? Walking closer, my eyes looked left once more into the forest and there I could just see the faintest of glimpses, a rusting, shattered box car.... we had found them at last

Photographed in Carlise Bay Marine Park, Barbados, where there are 6 wrecks...
Berwyn: Carlisle Bay ~ 20ft ~ A 70 ft long World War I French
Tug Boat sunk in 1919 by her own crew. The Berwyn sits between 7 and 10 feet below the surface depending on the tide. As a result of the calm water in the bay and the age of this wreck the Berwyn is covered in marine life including healthy hard and soft coral growth and their associated reef creatures.
Ce-Trek: Carlisle Bay ~ 45ft ~ The Ce-Trek, a derelict boat constructed of cement was sunk in January 1986. This shipwreck sits in deeper water on the northern edge of the park and is home to nice coral, soft coral and sponge growth.
Eillon: Carlisle Bay ~ 55ft ~ This 110ft drug boat was tied up for ~6 years in the Bridgetown careenage before it was sunk on 8th June 1996 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. The wreck is easily accessqible for penetration and has an air pocket in the bow big enough to a conversation at 25′ under.
Bajan Queen: Carlisle Bay ~ 35ft ~ She was Barbados’ first tugboat named the “Pelican” when the Bridgetown Harbour was being constructed in the 1960’s. A decade later, as more modern tugboats were purchased; the Pelican was then converted to a party boat called “Bajan Queen”. The Bajan Queen holds many memories for thousands of Barbadians and visitors alike. After years of operation as the party spot the Bajan Queen was donated to the Coastal Zone Management Unit. From there with the assistance of our very own Andre Miller the Bajan Queen was cleaned up and sunk on 19th May 2002 in Carlisle Bay Marine Park. She now sits only a few feet below the surface and is accumulating some excellent fish life and good coral diversity.
Cornwallis: Carlisle Bay ~15ft ~ A Canadian freighter sunk by a torpedo from a German U-Boat during World War II. This wreck was relocated from a very high boat traffic region of the bay to this Marine Reserve on 22nd October 2003.
Barge: Carlisle Bay ~ 12ft ~ A Naval Landing Barge found in Carlisle Bay. This wreck is now home to numerous reef fish including the puffer’s bigger cousin the porcupine fish.
This photo of a wrecked train at Sintanni was taken by August "Gus" Firgau, 712th TROB (Transportation Railway Operating Battalion) during the summer of 1953. Gus was assigned to the Taekwangni rail station.
Taekwangni was located on the 3rd TMRS Sintanni Line. It was just south of town of Sintanni which can be viewed on the Google Earth Map: Chorwon Valley and Ch'at'an-ch'on Valley on page 4.
The wreck on Londniddry beach just as the tide was coming in... Think it works well in mono but will post the colour one at some point too....

I bought this photo of a streetcar (?) wreck at an antique shop, and somebody tried to buy it off me before I left the store, ha! I suppose it could be a train or a bus.. but I think it is a streetcar.
Yes, this is the correct angle of the photograph.
I don't know anything about where/when this happened, if by any odd chance somebody out there has more information, please let me know. The photo is completely unmarked.
NOTE: The signs in the back don't have any information about the location.. they are a jeweler's advertisement and a "no spitting" sign. I suppose I could try to track it via the ads... I need a stronger magnifier. :(
EDIT 2016:
I MAY have tracked down this accident? Possibly?

On the rear of this westbound CSX manifest freight passing through Berea was an unusual sight. As best I could tell these five Metro North passenger cars were involved in the derailment on Dec. 1, 2013, at Spuyten Duyvil in New York City. The cars have obvious wreck damage and were being shipped minus their wheels.
My 'Wreck This Journal' as of 6 October 2012. I've had it for a couple of months now.
Taken with Canon EOS 60D.
After I scribbled on the inside of the cover, I found this on the outside.
I was planing on completey covering the cover at first. Now I am going to have to do something else, I quite like this unexpected outcome.
