Hello from Michigan! Man...I'd do that in a 💓 heartbeat! It looks like more fun than Disneyland, and costs A LOT less. Thank you for posting this...I had a blast, and Thank You to the Nevada Northern R.R. for allowing it to happen. ✌😁💥
@@klaus9714 More track is seen beyond the gravel road . How far I have no idea . A shovel and hoe should take care of "road maintenance" for the ambitious .
Looks like you coulda kept going. I see you only had tools, what about extra gas, you never when your gonna need it. I jus love this rail road riding abandon lines, thanks for sharing this, keep it up👍👍👍
tell us about your speeder construction,,,problems and solutions. gear ratios,,,vegetation and tree removal issues, cargo and items carried,,, radio scanners,,, drilled axles for wheel gauge change options,,, dimensions and weight,,, extra gas and options for manual pedaling if engine fails....we are interested,,,,,great videos and thanks for your efforts to do a great video
I could imagine cowboys on their horses riding along side those steamy locos and old carriages shooting in the air like crazy while robbing trains, what in interesting era.
I see from the plate on the back of the sea that you too are from Boise., If you ever want to ride the Thunder Mountain line from Cascade to Horseshoe Bend, let me know.
Brian Fedline, I just saw your comment. I would be interested in riding that line. Do you work for the Idaho Northern Railway? I have talked to them and hadnt had much luck. the line is currently in fair shape except for rock slides and down trees.
What kind of range do you have, and how far can you normally go on an excursion? How much homework do you do to be sure your ride doesn't end a mile down the track?
Marlene wants to fight! -- Well i don’t know if this is a troll or not but i just noticed i said 350 and not 360 😂. So to make a 360 VR video, there are many companies out there who make these cameras... Some very affordable and some very expensive. Im partial to Insta360... wide range of cameras and prices. But there are a lot of companies that make very good and affordable cameras. Simple to operate and do a great job.
The only problem I see here is that these tracks are not abandoned at 1:46 you can see the silver top of the rail as the sun reflects off of it still pretty cool though
How do you find out what tracks you can ride? I live in Michigan and know several but don't even know if its legal. would be a fun hobby this year all considering.
Gary Jones the rail road is still in operation. The NNRy has several steam engines and a couple of Diesel engines. They do tours to Ruth all the time, and in the winter they go On Polar Express excursions. The railroad north of McGill is mostly abandoned though, and the highway department paved over the tracks at Currie
Yes, that is pretty much the end of the line. You will note that this section of rail is identified in the video as the "High Line". When in full operation its function was to take trains of copper ore cars to the concentrator plant which was located on the sloping side of the valley. This line was built up the side of the valley so that it could dump the ore into the plant up high and the process could then flow downhill so most of the material movement was done by gravity. Concentrated ore was then loaded into freight cars for the trip North up the floor of the valley on the "Main Line". There was no point in carrying the "high line" further North past the concentrator plant when, if you wanted to travel further North, you would just do it on the main line. This "end of line" is located just East of McGill Nevada at the North end of town. The concentrator plant is long gone, but of you look at the area on Google maps / Google Earth you can still see some remnants of the infrastructure such as water tanks and the like.
The music, the scenery, the whole idea of building something yourself and getting it out there is fantastic! Good luck in your endeavours....
Great fun, thanks for taking us along with you........
This is so cool. Looks like a fun way to travel!!
A little fun on a deserted line.
I love these rail riding videos.
looks like lots of us have been recommended rail riding / biking videos in the last week or so. They've become a trend now
Dadgum it have you been watching A lot of them? If so, then that’s why.
Off and on for years of wanted to build one my roadblock is finding the wheels
Greetings from Australia, thank you for the great ride along with you. Two thumbs up.
Hello from Michigan!
Man...I'd do that in a 💓 heartbeat! It looks like more fun than Disneyland, and costs A LOT less.
Thank you for posting this...I had a blast, and Thank You to the Nevada Northern R.R. for allowing it to happen. ✌😁💥
Great music choice. It looks like the place to film a spaghetti western. This line doesn't have to worry about fallen gum trees and blackberry bushes.
What's fun is that I know where you were along that rail line, having spent tons of time in Ely through the years. Cool!
too cool you have both gas and peddle power - great video
Great job on your rail cart and a great video too! Felt like I was there with ya !
I think I would probably love this....I’d be tempted every few yards to go rock hounding..looks awesome and amazing.👍👍😀
Thoroughly enjoyed! Awesome scenery
Thank You for sharing the great ride ! I expect the ride after the construction of the machine is the reward .... we’ll done !
best soundtrack ever!!! i love the video
aaaaasome video with great scenery. enjoyed my ride
Definitely by far the best rail car I’ve seen. Most of them are just a cheap piece of plywood tiny little wheels. This is high-quality stuff.
Ely, Nevada ❤
Love and miss Nevada -
Me too! Grew up in Reno
Super cool! Thank you for sharing.
Very interesting mechanical set ups on that rig. Good video.
looks like a Ron's rail rider to me by the wheels. Loved doing this for years starting 30 years ago. Nice to see you are still at it.
Molto bello!!! E bella anche la musica… saluti dall'Italia!
These tracks are so nice. Simone should open and maintain them for fun travel like this
That looks like a heck of a lot of fun got to add that to my bucket list
I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU NICE RIDE FROM AUSTRALIA
They still have some hand car set-offs, along the track, for you to use in case an excursion train approaches.
Looks like a blast! So awesome!
Awesome looking trip would have been nice to do thank you for the video.
That little bit of gravel shouldn't stop the show!!
The track literally ended there
@@klaus9714 More track is seen beyond the gravel road . How far I have no idea . A shovel and hoe should take care of "road maintenance" for the ambitious .
They go to McGill Nevada.
This is on my bucket list for sure.
That was awesome yes definitely .
What dude has never dreamed of doing this ?! It's so Awesome
Adorei esse vídeo, me fez lembrar-se de mim e sentir saudades da minha infância.
Love the airconditioning.
I would count half the fun designing and building a unique vehicle .
Looks like you coulda kept going. I see you only had tools, what about extra gas, you never when your gonna need it. I jus love this rail road riding abandon lines, thanks for sharing this, keep it up👍👍👍
Super Bravo !!!
excellent ride. thank you
I've long wanted to ride the rails like this. But even more I'd love to traverse the UK in a canal boat!
Great video I'm inspired, thanks.
God bless America!
Beautiful
Fantástic from Brazil.
Thanks for the Ride
Very awesome ride.
Very fun and great music.
That was awesome!!
That is so cool that's the best way to see the United States by the rails
tell us about your speeder construction,,,problems and solutions. gear ratios,,,vegetation and tree removal issues, cargo and items carried,,, radio scanners,,, drilled axles for wheel gauge change options,,, dimensions and weight,,, extra gas and options for manual pedaling if engine fails....we are interested,,,,,great videos and thanks for your efforts to do a great video
Olá mano foi uma boa viagem pelos trilhos!
Abraço 😷

I'd like this mode of travel.

♥.♥
Thank you...
Nice ride ... Thanks
Great way to see some back country
Thank you for using a Briggs and Stratton motor
What kind of range do you have, and how far can you normally go on an excursion? How much homework do you do to be sure your ride doesn't end a mile down the track?
Nice car. The only thing I would add is a bigger muffler to quite it down with a spark arrestor.
Estuvo de pelos el viaje. Me divertí mucho
Nice wheels, nice ride.
You need to film in 350 VR. That would make this a lot more fun and interesting.
Do you know how to make one?
Marlene wants to fight! -- Well i don’t know if this is a troll or not but i just noticed i said 350 and not 360 😂.

Now try the line down to Hawthorne .
Is this a prototype for the California bullet train?
Brown and Newsome designed it themselves Only a billion each . Good one Bill .
Kinda but its faster
You gotta start somewhere... lol...
Bill Taylor yes and 65 billion dollars later
Yes it is a prototype. This will be all the money they can spend after rail construction.
Đẹp quá, ra nhiều video như thế này nhé Bạn.
THAT WAS A REAL ADVENTURE! HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU WOULDN'T RUN INTO SOME MISSING RAILS?
Aqui no Brasil esses carrinho . A rapaziada ia adorar amar !!!!!
I think he said: Here in Brazil the guys would love to ride these carts.
Muito massa esses carrinho motorizado de estrada de ferro . Carrinho ferroviaro !!!!!!
He said: Very cool that motorized railcar!!!!!
Do you have any info on abandoned tracks?
This is cool... Hello form BraSil!
The only problem I see here is that these tracks are not abandoned at 1:46 you can see the silver top of the rail as the sun reflects off of it still pretty cool though
Cool how far did you ride?
nice video, Feels like on cowboy movie
That thing needs a canopy. Too much sunshine for a pleasant ride.
I wonder what the MPG is on that. I would think it would get great mileage because the friction should be pretty low.
AMERICA !!!, Is this a GREAT Country ????, Think about it !
Love it.
Sweet machine
What is the Bluegrass tune played at the end of this video?
love it
Very unique 👍
I Love It 😉
At 4:43 it will be so cool if those signal lights would activate when you approach it and you put a horn on your machine.
How do you find out what tracks you can ride? I live in Michigan and know several but don't even know if its legal. would be a fun hobby this year all considering.
Very interesting
Looks like fun
I want to buy this!!!😁
You should put a bimini top on that. Reduces the broil factor.
Cute vehicle. :-)
I want one !
This is the best time ever!! I hope you don't run into a big headlight!!
Like in the tunnel
😳DOUBLE YIKES‼️😃
My guess is the Railroads are abandoned... beautiful scenery...
I'd be more worried of finding a pot farm that was guarded.
Gary Jones the rail road is still in operation. The NNRy has several steam engines and a couple of Diesel engines. They do tours to Ruth all the time, and in the winter they go
On Polar Express excursions. The railroad north of McGill is mostly abandoned though, and the highway department paved over the tracks at Currie
B.J. just slip up there during the night and chisel out all the asphalt covering the tracks and then as the song says, Keep on Trucking... lol..
Speeders are cool.
I need to find a kit !
are those ABS wheels?
Was this really the end of the line? It looked like you could push it forward and keep going.
Yes, that is pretty much the end of the line. You will note that this section of rail is identified in the video as the "High Line". When in full operation its function was to take trains of copper ore cars to the concentrator plant which was located on the sloping side of the valley.

love it where to get the wheel's, or who build's them.
don haffner railriders.net
Fun Fun Fun!!
How old are those tracks
So you get to the EOL do you have reverse or do you have to turn it around? Looks frelling heavy.......
Poppageno i have a Jack on the back that allows it to be turned around.
meep meep out of the way Son
Nice.nice nice.........where is it.?
