Bankhead was an old mining town on the Cascade Mountain (Alberta, Canada).
The area's now in Banff National Park and the town is a tourist attraction, so it's not quite as abandoned as some of the places posted here.
Old carriages at Bolton Abbey station, maybe waiting for restoration.
The White Pass and Yukon Route is a Canadian and U.S. railroad linking the port of Skagway, Alaska, with Whitehorse, the capital of Yukon. An isolated system, it has no direct connection to any other railroad

Bullseye, a rare example of a fireless steam engine originally used in factories where flying sparks could be dangerous, was rescued from the field of another farmer four miles away from its current position and was moved on 9 September 2008 with the aid of a 50 tonne crane and two low-load vehicles.

This went to to a pier where they unloaded ships back when SF was a bustling port. They stopped using this in the mid 1960s.
Now known as the Reading Terminal Market, an enclosed public market located at 12th and Arch Streets in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original Reading Terminal opened originally in 1893 under the elevated train shed of the Reading Railroad Company after the city of Philadelphia advocated to move public markets from the streets into indoor facilities for both safety and sanitary reasons.
United States Transportation Corp #5002, an 0-6-0T steam switcher built by the H.K. Porter Company in 1942. Originally built to be shipped overseas the little locomotive never got around to making the trip and ended up staying in the U.S.
In the 1960's she was sold to an amusement park in Cumberland Falls, KY called "Tombstone Junction" who attempted to power a train ride with her and a sister unit. This proved technically difficult and they were sidelined and placed on display at the park until it closed in 1992. It was then sold to a private collector who moved it to the Kentucky Railway Museum in New Haven, KY where it sat.
It has recently been sold to a group in Pennsylvania and the engine has been moved here by KRM to wait for pick up and shipment by truck

"The line stretched to somewhere around Trinity, where the Northwestern Pacific once interchanged with the Arcata & Mad River Railroad.
Line went all the way down to Samoa, with the roundhouse and stuff.
The legitimate NWP Mainline is abandoned as far as I know. All the way to Cloverdale. Driving on 101 you can really see the weeds and grass growing on the line.
Smart wants to restore service to Willits, so I guess thats a plus."
Photos of abandoned railway infrastructure, rolling stock, buildings, stuff like that. All photos contain at least one piece of railway infrastructure still in place on a line or track that is no longer used for trains.
