I assume this old passenger car was once part of a train based in Birmingham, Alabama. It currently resides in Calera at the Heart of Dixie Railroad Museum.

Enquanto isso, durante o apagão fiz essas duas fotos.
A da esquerda foi tirada com ISO 3600 e flash no máximo pra conseguir alguma iluminação nos prédios e parecer uma cidade fantasma ou radioativa. HAAHHAAH
A da direita foi um pouco antes em uma simples longa exposição. A luz do fundo é o Aeroporto de Congonhas.
Ela é melhor vista GRANDE e tal. =D
Philadelphia – Old City: Franklin Court – Ghost House
Image by wallyg
Franklin Court cuts through an entire city block on the former site of Benjamin Franklin’s home at 316-322 Market Street. Although razed in 1812, a "Ghost House" frame, built by Robert Venturi in 1976 for the Bicentennial, depicts the exact positions of the original 3-story house, 33 square-foot, ten-room house and adjacent print shop, while excavations underneath reveal the original foundations, privy pits, and wells.
Six museums on the site, also built in 1976 for the Bicentennial, trace Franklin’s life as a publisher, politician, postmaster, printer and invebtor. Below the court is an underground museum filled with paintings, objects, and inventions associated with Benjamin Franklin including a reproduction of Franklin’s Armonica, also called a glass harmonica.
At 314 Market Street is the United States Postal Service Museum, with exhibits that include Pony Express pouches and originals of Franklin’s Pennyslvania Gazette. At 316 Market Street is the B. Free Franklin Post Office, the the only active post office in the United States that does not fly a United States flag–because there wasn’t yet one in 1775. At 318 Market Street is an architectural exhibit about Franklin’s interest in fire-resistant buildings with fully exposed walls, revealing wooden joists separated by masonry and plaster. In the cellar are collections of pottery and glassware, collected from his privy pits. At 320 Market Street is the Printing Office and Bindery, with demonstrations of 18th century printing and binding equipment on display. At 322 Market Street is the General Advertiser, a the restored office of The Aurora and general Advertiser, the newspaper published by Franklin’s grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache. 322 Market Street also claims two famous connections–James Wilson, an editor of The Aurora, and grandfather to Woodrow Wilson, the 28th President of the United States, who lived there; and Sarah Josepha Hale, editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book and author of "Mary Had a Little Lamb," who worked there from 1837-1877.
A Cidade Fantasma (The Ghost City)

Cidade Fantasma \ Bolívia
No lado boliviano do Deserto do Atacama, uma linha férrea abandonada em uma cidade (quase) abandonada. Só faltou a bola de feno.
(In the bolivian side of the desert lies an abandoned train line in an almost abandoned city. But it had no hay ball.)
Get a rope! Hangman’s noose hanging from the tree at the ‘ghost town’ of Corlew’s Silver City in remote Bodfish, CA – kernvalley035x
Image by mlhradio
Hangman’s noose hanging from a tree in the middle of town. This photo has quickly risen in the ranks to become my most-viewed photograph of all time, from various people on the internet doing a searches for pictures of nooses.
Corlew’s Silver City, Bodfish, Kern County, California. Corlew’s Silver City is a not a real ghost town, but a manufactured one. In the sixties and seventies, Dave and Arvilla Mills found several old, historic buildings from all over the Kern Valley region, hauled them to Bodfish and rearranged them to re-create the old western town of Silver City.
While the town itself is not real, nearly all of the buildings are authentic. Brought in from all over the area, from Keyesville to Isabella, from Whiskey Flat to Kernvale – many old towns and mining camps that are just a faded memory, or lost under the waters of nearby Lake Isabella. The Corlew family purchased the attraction and re-opened it in 1992, and have spent many hours restoring the buildings to an authentic state. Some of the buildings include the Isabella Jail, church, hotel, post office, saloon, and more.
Corlew’s Silver City is waaaay off the beaten path, tucked away in the southern foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, roughly an hour northeast of Bakersfield, a few miles from Lake Isabella. It’s a bit of a faded tourist stop, a little worse for wear from the ravages of time – but that’s partly by design, because the buildings are meant to be preserved in a state of ‘arrested decay’. A bit of tourist-trap kitsch with the creepy mannequin displays, but still worth the visit for old western buffs and history enthusiasts.
