Chatillon, a small town in Belgium was once home to one of the largest car graveyards in the world.

When vehicles are fully stopped for periods of time, this is known as a traffic jam. What will happen to those cars if aby traffic jam persists for so many years? Surprised to think! its true that there is a place in the world where there has been a traffic jam for the last 70 years.

For the past 70 years there is a scenario in Belgium Forest that records a traffic jam. In South Belgium there is a graveyard for abandoned vehicles in a small forest that is close to Chatillon.

Chatillon is a small village in southern Belgium located a stone’s throw from the border with France and, in the other direction, Luxembourg. It’s your average quiet town in the Belgian countryside. There is a graveyard for abandoned vehicles in a small forest that is nearby to Chatillon. Many believed that these abandoned cars belong to U.S. soldiers who were based in South Belgium during the World War II.

Various sources says that the U.S military soldiers were sent back to the U.S. after the world war II, but the cost for car shipping during that time was so much expensive, so the officers of the military troops decided to set the car in a forest in Belgium wherein the vehicles were driven one by one up the hill then parked perfectly to hide from the outside world. Its also mentioned that those soldiers who wanted to have the car will be fully responsible for the shipping cost and therefore they could never take the cars again.

Thus many years passed, and due to corrosion and decay worn the cars and among the four vehicle graveyards in Chatillon on one remain and unfortunately some of the cars were stolen by car collectors and the locals. The car graveyard in Belgium Forest became one of the most curious car cemeteries in the world with its rusty automobiles that once belonged to the U.S. troops.

This is a terrible thing for any automobile lover.
