And the land lubbers lay down below, below, below

After over a hundred years in its undisturbed resting place, a wrecked train has been discovered by shipwreck hunters at the bottom of one of the Great Lakes:
On July 22, a team of shipwreck hunters from Minnesota and Canada found the lost Canadian Pacific Railway Locomotive No. 694 in about 235 feet of northern Lake Superior water near the town of Marathon, Ontario. Three men, each from Schreiber, Ont., died on June 9, 1910, when the freight train crashed into a rockslide that had covered the railroad tracks, sending the D10 steam locomotive, a tender car and several boxcars into the lake. The wreck is one-of-a-kind, said Tom Crossman, a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) operator from Duluth, Minn., who helped find the locomotive wreck.
