Doing stuff like this is quite common, and surprisingly good for the marine habitat. All the carriages will have been completely stripped and cleaned of anything harmful, so no fears of toxic waste. These artificial reefs (nothing to do with coral) are quickly inhabited by all varieties of marine animals, and they provide much needed shelter for them. All in all a good thing. :)

The Navy sunk an aircraft carrier in Florida for the very same reason.

The City has done this for years. The cars are stripped and cleaned of all fluids. As the rest of you said it's a good thing. 04

Great idea. Give back to the environment what we have stripped from it. 21

Thanks Slugsie for clearing that up. I was about to start going on a "We need to take better care of our planet" rant till I saw your post. Thanks for saving me (and everyone else) from that lol

Yeah, it creates a new species - Subway fish. You only catch them with old used subway tickets as bait.

do you all new-habitat-for-sea-creatures-
morons really think that doing this is better for nature then recycling the metal from those cars instead of making a new metal through all that chain of processes (mining, smelting, who knows what else)?
P.S.:Sorry for my english. It's not my native language.

Just so long as there are existing habitats close. There was an incident with a cargo container which was lost far out at sea. The organisms which attached to it were not usually found in the area but the cargo container gave them an artificial "island" on which to take up habitat. Maybe not such a good thing for local species which under normal circumstances would not that competition.
