The Wildwood Ghost Trains or known as the Train Graveyard sits on and old Sea Board Railroad tracks that are no longer in use. Many years ago this was a huge railroad line that would transport oranges and Orange Juice to the north. This line would take the oranges all the way to New York, New England and even parts of Canada. Many years ago one could sit at a crossing and watch the orange colored box cars coast by. 

Now a part of the train tracks remain unused, heavily over grown by vegetation and vines.  On those tracks remains many discarded railroad cars such as tankers, box cars, flat and flat cars on this unused side track. Rumor has it that these cars were used in various Tarzan movies in the 1930s although I do believe from studying the cars they are no older then half a century so its hard to say. Perhaps some of the more antique cars have been moved to a train museum of the sorts.

While walking along this track there is two sets of freight train cars sometimes it seems like it goes on forever but there is a really gloomy feeling here. Not necessary a haunting just a feeling that you do not know what your going to find in the box cars or what might jump out at you between each set of cars. 

Today the train graveyard remains overgrown as vines consume the cars as well as thistle bushes. Perhaps the people who once perished, worked on these tracks, or died in tragic accidents now haunt these lonely train cars....You decide!
