Hidden UK train station is swallowed by nature after 4 decades with eerie pics showing rows of moss-covered locomotives
EERIE snaps of a UK train station swallowed by nature reveals rows of moss-covered locomotives. The train graveyard was unearthed by urban explorer Tokyo Scott. 5 Eerie footage shows a train graveyard tucked away with rusting locomotives Credit: Caters 5 The incredible find is located in the Scottish Highlands Credit: Caters 5 Some of the engines are barely identifiable Credit: Caters The 21-year-old stumbled upon the haunting site located in the Scottish Highlands and documented her experience exploring the former station. Spooky images show rows of derelict engines which are barely recognisable after being engulfed by rust and moss. Other snaps show shattered windows, collapsing chimneys, and rotting train cars - offering a fascinating window into the past and the fading echoes of industrial life. Tokyo has come across over 10,000 abandoned vehicles with a collective value well over £1 million. "Over one million for sure, trains are worth a lot," she said. 'The abandoned train station stands silent in the misty Highlands, its weathered timbers and rusting tracks slowly vanishing beneath creeping moss and heather. 'It was crazy how long they had been left there, that's what surprised me the most. 'How they could be dumped and left to rot with no one interested in them. 'When we found the freight train, I love trainspotting and trains so it was a dream come true. 'Some people think trespass shouldn't be allowed, but others appreciate that I'm showcasing abandoned places that will never see the light of day otherwise.' Dark underbelly of UK's new City of Culture plagued by soaring unemployment, 'spiced-up' druggies & 'roaming XL Bullies' It comes after a haunting graveyard of rotting vintage vehicles has been captured in the British countryside by another urban explorer. Images show rusting motors lined up, including a nostalgic 90s Cadillac, in various states of disrepair. The scrapyard, which inhabits a crumbling UK farm, also includes dusty Micras and Volvos. The latter takes up most of the space, where a lineup of once eye-catching 240s and 244s eerily sit. Some of them don badges and stickers from their last days on the road. One Volvo in particular is likely a more recent addition as it sports a fresh-looking exhaust warning sticker. But others have seen better days. Some have been stacked, used to prop up even more scrap, their roofs caved in under the weight of other forgotten vehicles. 5 Spooky images show rows of derelict engines Credit: Caters

Shocking moment speeding van driver distracted by phone slams into broken-down car leaving victim with lifelong injuries The images were taken by urban explorer Kyle Urbex during his 220th exploration at Brian's Vintage Car Collection in Chester. Kyle found the graveyard hidden away behind dense vegetation near the home of elderly couple Brian and Barbara. Other images show old tractors and JCBs scattered across the property, giving it an eerie abandoned atmosphere. He also found a BMW 635 CSI, once a sign of luxury, slowly being reclaimed by nature. With iconic styling and nicknamed 'shark nose' the motor was very much the symbol of the BMW range after being introduced in 1978.

"He has been victim to some of the cars being smashed to bits by youths."
