This little train graveyard consists of four railway carriages sitting in a field outside the town of Port Pirie, South Australia. I read about it online, and paid it a visit in July 2018. It wasn't difficult to find - the carriages were clearly visible from the road as I drove west towards the town.

I don't know anything about the history of the carriages, or how they came to be abandoned in the field. The nearest railway line is a few hundred metres away, on the opposite side of the road, so presumably they were carried in on trucks. This must have involved a fair amount of effort and expense.

The crumbling remains of a fibro house stood at the front of the field, but it looked completely uninteresting, and I didn't bother to venture inside. A truck cab, which had been removed from its chassis, sat nearby, and I also found the wreck of an old Ford Falcon, minus its engine. Some old tyres and various other junk were scattered about. There was a large electrical substation next to the field, its boundary fence only about ten metres from the carriages.

The photographs below were taken over two days. It was already late afternoon when reached I the site, so I returned the following day to get some more shots under different lighting conditions.
