A long-deserted steam train that's been hidden away in the depths of the Suffolk countryside for ''decades'' has been uncovered by an excited adventurer

A long-deserted steam train that's been hidden away in the depths of the Suffolk countryside for ''decades'' has been uncovered by an excited adventurer who spent days tracking down the mysterious engine hidden in the woods.

Despite the explorer's thorough research which led him to the antique carriage, one mystery he failed to solve was how the stranded train ended up left in the woods, the Mirror reports. "It's now very well protected with thorn bushes and brambles, but enough is still visible to see the scale of it. It's a Harry Potter Hogwarts-style train, but it's a bit of a mystery as to why it's there and sitting on real train tracks.

Steve has decided to keep its location a secret so vandals do not find it. He added: “The train still smells of oil and smoke even though it hasn't been active for well over half a century. It looks like it has been there for decades.
