Graveyard for railroad cars outside Mojave
In Mojave California a 48 acre yard stores worn out rail cars from across the nation. Forty workers dismantle the stock on four 1200 foot tracks burning wood and salvaging metal. Most cars date from the 1930s and 1940s and are checked for sleepers before dispatch. Occasionally a historic car is saved by officials. West Germany becomes the world’s second largest producer of passenger cars behind the United States with 2,734,000 units in 1965.
