I grew up in Pantego and always heard about a buried steam locomotive in Village Creek. Right there at Green Oaks and Highway 80/Lancaster in the bottoms. Someone had done some sonar or whatever on the area of the wreck and found a HUGE piece of metal underneath the creek. The owners of the line, I think U.P. will not under any circumstances let anyone dig there because of the communication lines running along the track.
