But, you can be get lost forever, coz those railroads have no maintenance from decades, the bridges could collapse & can injured them brutally. This is very very risky
The world salutes in amazement those hard men of steel who had laid those Railroad Tracks and built those Timeless Tunnels and Railroad Bridges in these rugged and torturous terrain cutting through endlessly awesome and breathtakingly beautiful landscape !!
That's the E&N Railway's [mile 14, Victoria Sub] Niagara Canyon Bridge they're rolling over at the beginning[ 260 ft high.] Arbutus Canyon [mile 14.9 ] is the other bridge [225 ft high]
Years ago (early 1980's) I built a gas powered railcar that I ran on the Tacoma to Elbe railway. I was building a log home south of Graham at the time. Lots of fun running along the east side of lake kapowsin and further south. I remember there was this old tracked crain halfway tipped over on the south end of the lake. Wonder if it's still there
Looking like some ghost movie... dangerous bridge....dark tunnel....no one around u....broken railings....camera just near the track.....sound/friction of wheels with rail..... Looking as some unknown third force is all behind this journey through the jungle.👍👍
this was fun thanks for the ride! just subd but i have to say i use to love heights even rappelled in the Army from helicopter's! i don't know how but many years later i became acrophobic for no good reason! It sucks because i loved rappelling! I'll be 57 this year and feel like a wussy watching you over the trestle!
You guys are lucky, to have such wonderful good tracks. The abandoned tracks I've ever seen are deteriorated and overgrown beyond hope. I was kinda excited when the old cotton belt railway here in Dallas was abandoned, but then, they tore up all the tracks. I built a rail bike for nothing.
I used to do this with my dad in his rail car. Probably the reason for not telling where they are is that it is illegal activity. No railroad owner is going to give a private rail car owner permission to use their abandon tracks. Too many safety issues, wash outs, tree falls, etc. It was great fun but very unsafe at times. There are clubs you can join that run these rails with permission and a hefty insurance policy.
Hey, where is this? At first I thought it was the E&N with Little Niagra, Hole In The Wall, Saanich inlet and Mt Finlayson but now I'm not sure. Sure looks like fun though!
Not sure if I was more mesmerized by that gorgeous granite tunnel or the 400 foot high tressel. Either way, great video, thank for sharing! Any plans to come down to Hopland and ride along the Eel river in CA?!?! Lots of dead line there to explore! Message me because I'd love to come along!
@@gerrycoleman7290 This is on the E&n railway, (now basically abandoned) near Victoria BC, the trestle is near Goldstream Provincial Park, also near Hwy 19
Thanks for sharing your adventures! I'm so jealous. I was actually hiking this very line about a year ago. FYI, it is an active line further up, as the ICF is still moving freight for its customers.
Beautiful scenery, what was shown of it. Neat little cart. Just my opinion, don't go fast over the bridges....someone may of put a jack rod to throw the cart off the track.....not a pleasant ending. Hope to see more videos in the future. And if you do, please show more of the scenery and do a little narrating of the locations and so forth. Hello and happy trails from Rick H of Malta, Texas.
This is really cool, it would be neat if you could show some video of your Speeder, maybe you could put up a video and tell us a little about it, I would also like to know what State your speeder is going through, it looks like northern California, Montana, or Colorado, and what RR Line it use to be, maybe UPRR, GNRR, or DRGRR. My father was a Engineer for DRGRR UPPRR my brother retired UPRR, & he was all over the mountains in California, my Father was in Colorado.
There are a few old logging railroad lines in WA and OR that look very similar, though. And some of those are actually legally abandoned, so possibly not illegal to ride on them? I know a few abandoned tracks in MT, ID, and WA, but I'm not sure if it is legal to be on those tracks. In Canada, unless the rails have been removed and officially converted to a public trail, that is a hard NO.
I'd bet that track is not abandoned. Dis-used or out of service, maybe, but probably not abandoned. The reason rail riding / biking is not very popular in Canada is because generally there is no where to legally do it. In Canada, if the rails are still in place, you would likely be trespassing on railway property (a much more serious offense than a misdemeanor, as in the USA). In Canada, abandoned rails are typically pulled up as soon as they are abandoned. Then the land ownership is transferred to the federal or local government or adjacent property owners. I know of a few possibly abandoned tracks that may exist in southern Ontario and Quebec, maybe. There was an unused CN track that went from Pukatawagan to Lynn Lake in Manitoba that hadn't seen a train since 2002, but I believe some local First Nations now own the property / track, if it is still there. It was still intact last time I was there, in 2010. One adventurous person / nutjob I heard about rode a quad down those tracks in the dead of winter. It took three days and many trees had to be chopped from the tracks. At least (most of) the black bears would have been sleeping. Finding intact abandoned track in the west is less likely than finding bigfoot bones.
What are those extra rails about on the trestle bridges? I would guess they are there to either strengthen the bridge or actually keep the train on the track in the event of a derailment. It is confusing as you sometimes see this on lines where mixed gauge rolling stock is deployed.
Alot of the abandoned lines in the pnw once serviced sawmills and logging operations that either no longer exist or have become serviced by the trucking industry
The best thing about exploring on rails is that you can never really get lost
But, you can be get lost forever, coz those railroads have no maintenance from decades, the bridges could collapse & can injured them brutally.
This is very very risky
Never lost, but a real butt tightener if you meet a train!
@@raymondherbst7126
If you meet a train ... or another speeder coming the other way.

The sound of the wheels hitting the rail joints is fantastic.....
The railroads build the coolest bridges and tunnels, just amazing.
Just plain Awesome !!, thanks for the efforts and sharing, cheers.
I think I have just found my new favorite hobby 😍
Those bridges got my blood pressure up.
"I thought we were gonna have a beer!" lol
Best rail video I've seen like this.👍😎
AWESOME video!
You are so fortunate to be somewhere you can do this....FUN!
(old timer logger)
Wow! That was AWESOME! I am always on edge thinking a train is going to come barreling down the other way!!!!! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing!!!!!
S.C. I think these are abandoned R.R. and no longer used.. Some absolutely gorgeous scenery...
What fun! I'm officially jealous!
Just amazing! Those viaducts terrify me lol
Fantastic video footage and railroad scenery. I will be sharing your video link with my subscribers. Thank you.
This is epic. I want to build one now 😆😆 Thanks for sharing. 👏👏👏
this is Port Alberni to Parksville on Vancouver island the rail line goes around Cameron lake
First time seeing this .. Its freak8n Awesome !!!
Man that is cool, bring your camping kit...water, food, etc. That is a hell of an idea for SHTF.
Totally awesome ride and views.
Very cool. It would be a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Good footage Jason
Try to hold your shot at least :03 seconds!
I want to do that. I've actually dreamt of doing that! Friggin FANTASTIC 😘
This looks like a blast.
That scenery is so beautiful
That looks like quite the scenic ride!
I’d shit my pants going over them trestles but this looks awesome! 😵
This is bloody amazing. I’d love to do that.

Well, go and see if it's still there.

Looking as some unknown third force is all behind this journey through the jungle.👍👍
It's amazing that you can do this in other countries, with such huge open spaces.
That is freaking COOL👍🏻😎
For an abandoned railroad the trestles are in great shape especially the ties
The E&N railway is not abandoned, eternally awaiting government funds to rebuild the infrastructure, but still considered an active railway legally.
😍😍😍😍 THAT IS AWESOME !!!
I WILL PAY TO GO ON A RIDE !!!
fantastic!
That is so Way Cool - A Ride I'd Love to Take
this was fun thanks for the ride! just subd but i have to say i use to love heights even rappelled in the Army from helicopter's! i don't know how but many years later i became acrophobic for no good reason!

love old railways
Impressive footage
Just so cool 😎

Lugar bonito , ficou ótimo seu trolinho , parabéns !
Those bridges are crazy
love to have the plans to build a speeder...

SUPERB! I wish we had amazing abandoned rail tracks in UK like this Id build a speeder!!
What an awesome adventure 👍
god DAMN this looks fun
I’m thinking about buying an old 2seater go kart frame and building a rail speeder out of it and a trailer so I can go camping too!
BRILLIANT 👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍
Unattended child alert.
Very cool. I have a friend that builds and rides these here in Kansas.
I remember going over that trestle on the dayliner many years ago, yeah it's high alright!
Where is it?
@@gerrycoleman7290 This is on the E&n railway, (now basically abandoned) near Victoria BC, the trestle is near Goldstream Provincial Park, also near Hwy 19

Imagine a ghost steam engine chugs in front of ur rickety trolley 🤣
this is the American dream in action.🇺🇸🍻
If it's on Vancouver island then it's actually "the Canadian dream"

@@2fast945 Thanks! I thought it was in the US but wasn’t sure. Beautiful country!
This is the E&N railway on the malahat!
Fuck yea! Van island for the win💪💪
falcon trestle gave me the willies..and i'm sitting in bed !
very nice...
I be scared shitless crossing that trestle
'That's a nice rail speeder"
Great score

Good job
That is cool beyond words. Is it light enough to lift to turn it around or do you have to partially disassemble?
omg that looks like fun. How does a person go about doing this. Thanks for the video
cool !!!
Isso é bom pra passeio turísticos
Hi, and thanks for the tour. Is this road open to the public?
I'M SOO JEALOUX.. FANTASTIC..I'LL PAY FOR A RIDE/TRIP/ADVENTURE:-).KEEP RAILIN..GOD BLESS..KEEP GOIN..LOVE FROM DENMARK
Wow
Wonderful way to travel. I assume there are no trains running at the same time.
Boy”are we ever high” ……. ya sure ya want another adult beverage ?😂
My thoughts exactly
Nice video. What are the extra rails on bridges and trestles for?
Awesome!

thats what makes this all so special
I believe there's a line that's at least partly intact from Sherbrooke to Thetford Mines.
It's Canada. And it's disused rail. And if the local or fed's "own" it, then the public "owns" it.
Where are these old lines located? Cool video!
What is the most unusual thing....or scariest thing....you've seen while riding these abandoned tracks?
That's a real nice speeder build. Where did you get the wheels may I ask?
Very cool footage - sweet rail speeder indeed! What railroad is this? and where?
Really cool video. How is that powered?
What are those extra rails about on the trestle bridges? I would guess they are there to either strengthen the bridge or actually keep the train on the track in the event of a derailment. It is confusing as you sometimes see this on lines where mixed gauge rolling stock is deployed.
The latter.
It would be nice to know the history of the rails that they are on and why the are abandoned.
Alot of the abandoned lines in the pnw once serviced sawmills and logging operations that either no longer exist or have become serviced by the trucking industry
This is the E&N railway if you wanted to look it up especially the Niagara creek trestle. Interesting story behind it.
What are those tracks in the middle for? At some of the ride it shows 2 sets of tracks.
OK; great, beautiful. Now, please: the location of this well intact yet decommisioned track? (by the dialogue, sounds like somewhere in BC?)
The E & N.
Guess im the first customer ))
I love this. Have you ever met a train?
I personally met a few trains and they were very nice but smelled a bit
Sweet! Nice machine! What railroad is this? Where?
Wow, how did they build those bridges....
where is this line? its in amazing shape!
Where is that? Is that the NW Pacific Railroad line up near Eureka, CA??
