AR-376 - 10 Railroad boxcars

The AR-376 site, with its ten railroad boxcars, isn’t your typical upright wreck dive. These aren't pristine, intact structures. Instead, they're scattered, broken fragments, and that's precisely why we love them. Picture a jigsaw puzzle thrown from a height, pieces strewn across the seafloor. What you get are these fantastic, chunky metal habitats, perfect for critters. We've spent hours here, just finning slowly, exploring the nooks and crannies. You'll see schools of baitfish shimmering around the jagged edges, their scales catching the light. Our favourite spots are where the boxcar walls have collapsed in on themselves, creating these dark, cavernous spaces that always seem to hide a grumpy tautog or a curious cubera snapper. The sheer volume of metal means there’s always something new to peek under or around. This site really suits divers who enjoy a more exploratory dive, not just ticking off an intact wreck. It’s a photographer’s dream if you like playing with light and shadow, and for those who appreciate seeing how the ocean reclaims human objects. We'd suggest aiming for a calm day; visibility can be a bit variable, but even on a greener day, the sheer scale of the wreckage makes for a dramatic dive.
