I still can't get over how Tilford Yard and Hulsey Yard are both gone! I was very fortunate enough to get some pictures of the two yards back in 2017 before CSX shut them down a year later.
I'm with you on the (and I'm paraphrasing) "I was a teenager and got amazing shots trespassing around the railroad." We all did, and it's unfortunate that the open door policy of the last century don't stand anymore. My earliest memories of trains include walking on the rails in Hyannis after the dinner train departed. I've also been told I visited to Upton yard when G&U 44 tonner No. 9 was boarded up there in the early 2000s. Now certainly, I do everything I can these days to be respectful of railroad property. But five years ago, when I explored Hopedale regularly and got interior shots of the Hampton Roads observation coach, I cleaned all the trash out of the car. Even when trespassing I find believed it was important to be respectful of the space: take nothing but pictures (and perhaps an interesting piece of coal or slag that nobody will miss), leave nothing but footprints, and leave a place better than you found it. No, don't trespass. But if you're a high-school aged person who inevitably will anyway, do something worthwhile while you're there: fix anything that's broken or dangerous, pick up any trash, document history with regard to your impact on history.
They did that in Chicago, turned an old steel plant into a film production company. Cinespace stage 21 is the name on one of the buildings. About 20 years ago they still had car spots serving the plant.
I wonder where the car and cab went and where all the old stuff went, probably to the scrapper. But I wonder how much or if anything is left from back then now that it’s a art exhibit and a goofball stadium.
@@v12productions I believe the passenger car is not scrapped but it has been moved or either elsewhere preserved. If I am correct I think someone or a company got the car and took it out but love this video!
I guest they abandoned it because the people the run the place maybe had to leave for maybe a building or a freeway. Where trains coud not just go around. If the law didn’t make anymore buildings or freeways maybe this would not be abandoned. Another thing I might’ve of notice is that thr place was to old. The place was linda rust already and those workers maybe had to go a much newer and bigger place to work for mor etrains to come. I dont know if that is true. But yyea that is my pridiction
Similar looking location anyway. Amazing how many industrial ruins there are in that area to take advantage of for production. Not a whole lot of modification needed either.
