Old Atlanta railcars have found a new life underwater. Once bustling with commuters, these railcars are now submerged 65 feet below the Atlantic Ocean, transforming into artificial reefs that serve as a habitat for marine wildlife.
At the end of last year, the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources Reef Project, sank two railcars off Georgia’s coast. The railcars were thoroughly cleaned of hazardous materials and inspected by the US Coast Guard before being deployed.
In August, the DNR Coastal Resources Division's first dive discovered soft coral growth and at least nine species of game fish thriving around the sunken railcars.
