Roundhouse Train Museum Of Savannah
I was not going to do this place but I had sometime to spare I said what
the hell. I love old trains they intrigue me and well it was just calling
out to me Lord Rick hop on board. So I had a look around...there is an old
brick train wall nearby...and I started my investigation off there.
I could no longer climb so I had no plans to go onto any of the trains
like I normally do if you look on our site we have done other train yards
and such. I just wanted to finish off the night with something fun for our
viewers.
I noticed that the train museum sat in an old train yard they have one of
those turntables where the train would pull up on it and it would turn it
onto another track. I never seen anything like this before in front of my
eyes. To see over 10 sets of tracks all leading to the same point was cool
actually more then that.
Anyway's to my left was what was left of the giant train station or at
least depot of some kind. It was not even a building anymore they put the
trains in here but most of the walls...windows...roof etc are missing or
crumbling. I did not spend a lot of time here I was tired to the max I
just wanted to walk once around the yard take a few photos of the
locomotives...I did go up a ramp inside a cargo box car they had some
historical reads inside and barrels. I sat on the bench changed out some
batteries it was pretty eerie inside the car.
They had a giant steam engine locomotive then a few small ones. There was
also an old freight engine this thing was massive...a few passenger
cars...and a few cargo cars including one caboose. It was not one of the
best train museums I been to but it was a nice place to visit. I think it
was more of an UE type of place big old crumbling building with trains
being housed in it. The building was falling apart I would have loved to
have someone take my photo in front of some of the trains but ehhh that's
life.
Some of the small little train engines were cool they had this one engine
as small as my car more fit for a kid to have as a toy lol. There was a
few other things on the site like a burnt rail car....a boiler...a pile of
coal...and some train wheels. I did not explore the abandoned building on
site it was time to wrap up the night I did a lot of hiking and was up for
24 hours at this point.
After investigating Savannah and the train
museum...I had to go back into a bad section of town for breakfast. There
was a Burger King I wanted breakfast I didn't care if someone put a gun to
my bed I was going to get myself some French toast sticks. So off I went
and some guy came up to me asking for money I gave him the money I figured
since I did not take a taxi or bus he could use it more. Did you know the
guy did not even say thank you to me human beings and there greed
unbelievable.
Anyhow I finally made it to burger king it was 5am they were closed which
was okay I needed to rest a little. I found a church near the projects and
went behind a bush. I changed my wet socks out....cleaned myself up a
little....saved and organized all my equipment. Fixed the sand spurs out
of my laces....had a snack with some water...then put my bag behind my
head and laid on the concrete looking at the stars. I dozed off briefly
but could not sleep cause I had to catch my bus back home so could not
rest much.
Burger King opened at 6 am sharp I was the first inside and I got myself a
huge ass breakfast. I was the only white person eating there a lot of
older people go in get there coffee read the paper. But I did notice one
thing about Savannah as opposed to here in FL is that even though some of
the people are no good doers or some are trouble regardless every drug
dealer...gangster...or person I passed down a dark alley or on the streets
said hello to me except the one guy that was on his bicycle after I did
Laurel Grove Cemetery. Other then that I didn't run into any problems
people didn't mess with me much. Of course I think I would be scared of me
at night wandering around with a back pack and Santa beard hahaha and yeah
I brought it I had to I had to at least get one photo of me on with it in
Savannah lol.
I spent the night on the streets after breakfast I had to get to the bus
station...my bus was over an hour late I was not happy I just wanted to
take a nap rest on up. There was a guy down there who told me he just got
out of the hospital and was stabbed I guess on the streets like me lol. I
was thinking man I either am lucky or I just am that experienced at what I
do. At this point the city of Savannah was covered in fog it was odd how
it started to set in right after I was done investigating all night long.
They had to put him and I on another bus and I did not get home till an
hour later which sucked. I didn't have to spend as much time in
Jacksonville during the lay over so that was a plus. I also sat alone the
entire trip home...dropped my flashlight on the bus it rolled down the
isle hahaha some guy grabbed it for me. I was just to tired I couldn't
even walk straight so I was thrilled better him bending over then me.
As soon as I got off the greyhound I went to the gas station near my house
grabbed a jumbo hot dog with onions...cheese...mustard and I gobbled that
Fu$$er down like no tomorrow with an awesome hot cup of coffee. It was the
best hot dog I ever had eaten. People laugh at me but them gas station hot
dogs come in handy when your hungry or need to eat something on the go.
I got home I took a shower everything of mine was dirty from the clove oil
spilling all over my flash lights...turtle neck...backpack etc I was just
relieved to get home. This was an investigation that was different then
others again I had to be flawless because I had for one to do it on
foot...for two I had to make sure I fit in certain locations...then three
their is the safety issue your on the streets with valuables and people
want to rob you its just that simple.
I have to say this for me was an awesome investigation not a lot of ghost
activity but they are important places that need to be put on my site and
for our fans to enjoy. I will be spending a few weeks listening to the
EVPs....studying the photos etc it will be awhile before it goes up on the
site hopefully before I move out west Ill have it up not sure though.
For me now its vacation no more investigations for a few months I need to
heal old wounds...and chill awhile. This last investigation was a
dangerous one not so much downtown Savannah but a lot of the other sides
visited on the outskirts of town.
I wanted to at least bring one last Hooray before the end of the New Year
and our relocation to CA. I know for a fact that Savannah is a place that
has a lot to offer and see. I could never see everything during one visit
or one jaunt on foot. They say almost every site...structure...or parcel
of land here is haunted by a ghost or two. I mean when I went to St.
Augustine FL which is the oldest city in the nation it didn't even come
close to the size that Savannah is. Savannah is many times larger and
contains many more historical structures which are still in tact a couple
hundred years later.
Its an old city full of history...legends..ghost stories...and beauty.
Everything is gorgeous...the fountains...statues...monuments...cannons
along the sidewalks...old inns...etc its just that amazing. There is a
sense of eeriness down some of the quiet streets. At night a lot of the
gardens...and so forth are locked up. But you can still peer into them
through the iron bars.
I wanted to at least visit here so I could appreciate its history...but
also so I could bring you some of the sites onto our website with the
history...Haunting's and information. It was an amazing journey for me and
Ill pay for it for awhile today I am just down right fatigued. But to say
I walked the streets of Savannah after hearing so much about it from other
members is just another experience under my belt. I am sure that many of
the buildings inside also have strange tales I mean the city burnt down
people died murders took place and even battles. Its a city of strange
tales and beauty.
I got to see more then anybody could get on any ghost tour...I literally
got into the heart of the city first hand walking down the dark
alleys....visiting cemeteries that are closed...and spending a night in
the historical areas of the city while the people were asleep and only for
the ghost of its past to haunt and roam it freely.
Lastly just wanted to wish everybody a Happy New Years in a few weeks
before I leave to CA I will be visiting two more sites not really
investigations but I will put them up on our site. I have a lot to be
thankful for some people take what we do here not serious or for granted
but to be able to pull off this trip sort of was a miracle in itself when
you account for all the factors involved and a nice way to end 2007!
