Deep in the woods near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border lies what seems to be an apocalyptic trainwreck that has been decaying on the site for decades. Some of the trolley cars in the train cemetery date back to the 1930s, while more modern models sit, just as abandoned, beside them.

Photographer likes to find the less-known abandoned sites, finding places by word of mouth. A local told Lawless that many of these trains were involved in a tragic trainwreck in 1957, but it's possible that the debris came from multiple accidents over the years, and the damaged trains were transported to this site, with a plan to be scrapped elsewhere. The trains still sit abandoned in the same remote location many years later.

"It makes you feel like you're the last person on the planet and it's kind of scary, but at the same time very peaceful," Lawless said about photographing abandoned places.

The overgrown foliage adds to the creepiness of the scenery, and it seems as if the trains' passengers have simply vanished into thin air.

Lawless told weather.com that weather has a huge affect on abandoned photography and urban exploration. "Water induces decay and that can happen very fast," he saod. "I've seen just a small leak in a place and [how] that small amount of water can completely destroy a structure within months," the photographer said.

Lawless's photographs are The Trolley Tragedy of 1957. For more information, and , or .
