Not only was i enjoying looking at the train graveyard but also the old houses that are along the railway line have also date back with some interesting design and culture and even the cats and dogs love the vibes of living along a railway line.
Many people may not notice or be able to see this train graveyard and train repair warehouses hidden in this urban jungle below as they are riding the train along the elevated train line coming or going from the city's main international Suvarnabhumi Airport as it just looks like a large green area of Bangkok city as you can see with the photo below.
This was an old carriage sitting on my side of the brick fence that i crawled into just to have a peek quite old and dirty looks like a couple stray cats might have taken squatting in here.
As i am walking further up the tracks towards the city center the jungle begins to disappear and i come up near the Makkasan station and the old warehouse structures became more noticeable.
As i started walking away from the Makkasan railway station i was seeing a expansion of repair warehouse huge warehouses here is where the skilled engineers and other tradesman are still working on these 50 year old trains that eventually will make it back on the tracks.
So all them trains and rail carriage i was seeing walking along this track seemingly being eaten by jungle will one day might be taking you to the north or east of Thailand.
All them rows of trains and carriage that are stretching into the jungle were possibly victims of wrecks and accidents some mangled beyond repair , some will be used for parts and some will make it back on the Thai rails to see another life.
This whole area covers an area of 186 acres and is owned by the State Railway of Thailand's which is not open to the public , i would have loved to see inside these warehouses to see how the work is performed on these huge locomotives but i will show you a couple of photos from google just to give you that amazing inside look.

A worker sands down a train car exterior so it can get a fresh coat of paint. About 1,100 workers strip down old passenger, dining and sleeping cars and get them back on the tracks in a continuous restoration process.

Refurbished steam engines from the first half of the 20th century sit near more modern wrecks that will never roll again.

These old Japanese steam engines well very intriguing dating back to World War II they were used on the Burma Railway line which is know as Myanmar now , transporting soldiers , weapons and equipment now they rest in these warehouse complex would have loved to get in there and get closer up photos but security would just not let me in , i even offered them a few dollars but no it was risking there job if they let me in understandable i wasn't going to push the issue 🤔
