Have you heard of this show on the History Channel? Me either but I was watching it yesterday and it was pretty interesting. I have found the History Channel's review of the show along with the website address for you.
Deep Sea Detectives : Underwater Train Wreck. Aired on Tuesday June 24 06:00 PM
Our shipwreck hunters become railroad experts when they find two ghostly locomotives, upright and intact, just a few miles off the coast of New Jersey. How did these massive land vehicles end up 90 feet below the Atlantic in the first place? With no shipwreck nearby to explain their existence, we launch an investigation to find out how these locomotives wound up in deep water seven miles from land. Maybe the locomotives slid off a vessel during a storm? Perhaps they were jettisoned to save a ship? Our investigators are going to have to narrow down the time frame of when these trains were built to find out how they sank. To help solve the mystery, we bring in experts to analyze the evidence. But can we piece together this puzzling problem before time and/or some unscrupulous diver removes the evidence forever?http://www.history.com/minisite.do?content_type=Minisite_Episodes&content_type_id=1412&display_order=2&mini_id=1069
Here is another site with a different perspective...

I have also found a "You Tube" video of the find. Here is that website.
