Communities across America have been making use of those old, abandoned train cars that have seemingly been collecting dust out in the fields. This collection of old trains have been turned into churches.
It seems a bit strange to see a religious symbol stacked atop a mode of transportation, as it is turned into a place of worship.
I would actually love to see how the Churches have made use of the cramped spaces inside the train cars. It is a very interesting way to put these abandoned cars to good use.
