No, you aren't hallucinating. This really DOES look like an old locomotive sitting in the middle of the countryside on the way to Six Mile Creek.
Anybody got an idea about how it ended up there?
Thanks to Nancy Kenfield for submitting her photo of this unusual find!

I can think of a great title...
The track ran out.
LOL

Very cool, I would like to climb around on it, but I bet there are a lot of sharp rusty things sticking out.
That is really odd! But I love how it looks.
Want to submit this post to Odd Shots Monday? It's absolutely perfect for that meme!
You could probably find an old abandoned railroad track somewhere nearby. Pappy
That's what happened to my train! I've been looking all over for it! I wonder how it got there? Barb?
I guess we all need a good mystery once in awhile!
Great photo....and very curious!
Nope, no tracks...several of us checked it out a couple of years ago.
WOW! very pretty and interesting--I love the colors and textures ont he engine.
I think its one of the things in life that make you go... Hmmm!
Anyway its a great photo :D
I love the Spanish moss on the trees. This scene reminds me of Cajun Louisiana.
This is extraordinary. I maintain a website (www.steamlocomotive.info) and it is very rare to find a locomotive we didn't know about, but this certainly qualifies. I've added a page to our site for the locomotive, and would be extremely grateful for permission to use this photo to illustrate it.
Would someone please be kind enough to give the exact location of this locomotive.
Thanks

Unknown, someone else took this photo, so I don't know the exact location except that it is on the south side of the Alabama River, and the road that goes to Six Mile Creek is the first one to the right across the Pettus Bridge.
Thanks - Ive emailed the Council Recreation Department, explaing that this is our idea of recreation, to ask them what they might know!
