I envy the fun you have, majestic scenery out in Gods country. Better and cheaper than a boat, hardly anyone else out there. I hope there are plenty of abandoned tracks left to explore and have fun on. A kids dream come true to be able to do this.
My heart is breaking mr. Archie - shows you the kind of world we live in today - it looks like scrappers or subcontract scrappers from somewhere - there are big allowances in ALL laws for recycling and in the right circumstances can be quite profitable - I love watching your adventures - what magic is it that draws us to the desert i just dont know, but being retired after a full lifetime of adventures (but now too old and beat up) and getting to enjoy yalls is quite a treat for an old fart like me, I have to say that little fox "boldly goes" when that throttle is down, I got such a kick when at speed there near the aquaduct at the crossing where that limerock was packed deep over the abandoned rails I knew it was too late to halt.... what I didnt think about was how high up on the embankment yall were and where it was - 😂😂 the co-pilot sure knew... yeeeehiaaaaaa!!!! ... whew !!!!! God bless yall for sharing your fun!!! Good health, long life, and mucho good adventures my friends!
Probably A & K Salvage out of Salt Lake City. They were the ones that were caught pulling up tracks north of Williams Arizona before the sale of the Grand Canyon Branch of the old Santa Fe was finalized. Now, the GCRY is its own private railway, fully restored, running passenger trains to the Grand Canyon daily.
Thats amazing. Its also flabbergasting to think thats out in the middle of nowhere where at one time there were a whole buncha dudes out there on which you were actually right there rolling on what these hard as nails men gone and done built out in the middle of nowhere, right out in the desert. What a beautiful surreal moment that had to have been that you actually gone and did. And to me.. Thats the epitome of doing the ultra cool. Thanks for sharing this!
As it is becoming more and more of a hobby adventure for many people creating rail carts, I could definitely see a private company going out and buying up these old railroad beds and restoring them including the bad areas. This could be a great tourist industry complete with restored railroad stations, resting areas on the side tracks complete with restrooms, and historical landmarks notated along the side complete with pictures for those who take the journey. I've seen some areas such as up in the Pacific Northwest where the tracks are so overgrown after being abandoned, that even a hi-rail truck would have a hard time getting through without using lots of equipment to clear the tracks of brush and obstructions.
Thank you for bringing us this very interesting video presentation which is very much appreciated. It is always a great pleasure for us to go on these journeys with you to Eagle Mountain.
In my country (UK) many railway lines were closed because they made no money, and the track taken up. Especially the smaller branch lines. But then railway enthusiasts realized that heritage railways could actually be financially viable, and now many have re-opened with steam trains carrying paying visitors.
Esas vías férreas se deberían conservar para hacer viajes turísticos en trenes clásicos de época. Además son perfectas para hacer rodajes de películas.En España están haciendo lo mismo aunque muchos trazados que han cerrado los quieren volver a abrir para el transporte de mercancías, porque las autovías son caras ( carburantes y todo lo demás) quedan los trenes de alta velocidad. RENFE - ADIF. Los viejos trazados se van usar para mercancías y viajes turísticos.
We can only agree, it would be great for movies. The track is in great condition I would think because of the dry conditions but also because it would have had great maintenance when it was in use.
These impressive railway tracks were difficult and costly to maintain in a desert environment with severe flash floods. The ideal should consist to transform these railways into "green ways" for pedestrians, bikes or horses, but these tracks were originately privately owned, used some military fields, and were long mistreated as many draining pipes were long washed with the complete substrate... Real bridges will remain, and probably most of the original path, but in a country where cars are mandatory for outdoor people and without proper public interest and funding, no doubt these videos are the only memory surviving these scenic railroads. Another historic site mistreated by some green bureaucrat in the name of renaturation?
I couldn't help but think to myself at the end, "Man, that little yellow cart would be great for a little conversion. Just strap a motor to it and call it a day." 😂
That's a bummer. I hate it when they tear up tracks, especially when there's nothing affecting the corridor for anything like development or new business. But it seems most railroad companies these days find every reason to terminate business rather than to promote it.
i wish they didnt remove the old rails just like how we love to preserve steam engines we need to preserve the old railroads for future generations i hate how theyre doing this its s stupid it hurts that theyre destroying historical landmarks
Unfortunately so does all good things from the past comes to an end. 😭 - That water canal crossing underneath the this rail line got me very curious. 🤔🤔 - Thanx for your great videos. Take care. 🇿🇦
Yo vivo en una línea auxiliar abandonada de la san martin en córdoba, estoy muy cebado con la idea de hacer uno de estos Es una lastima desarmar las vías
Красивые места и красиво проложенная дорога. дорога! Жалко, что заброшенная...! И ещё более жалко, что эту дорогу нашли сборщики металлолома и начали разбирать!
Same as screaming out with full lungs in the middle of nowhere : VERY liberating ! And like Archie said, NO rules, NO regulations, NO explanations. ENJOY FREEDOM !
How heavy and how fast is your cart bro, And can you drive it anywhere????. Id love to pull up in town in a cool cart to buy groceries and supplies and then ride off into the sun set without getting into trouble
¿Por que las vías están como blancas? 8:05 Instalaciones eléctricas ¿para que están ahí? 8:09 ¿Es una casa? 8:16 Descarrilamiento. 13:23 ¿No hay peligro que se roben esa maquinaria?
Si hay varias casas unas 4 en total .en otra oportunidad fui a verlas. Son cables de alta tension que cruzan el desierto. Si descarrilamos . Nadie anda por ahi .pero si se pueden robar la maquinaria
I see all this rail tracks and bedding going to such waste. Could expand services throughout America that is needed. Instead of one mile long trains is insane. Plus, it would increase military shipments. In case of war plus infrastructure.

Эхх, жалко дорогу.. первое видео с вашим участием , которое я посмотрел, было с этой дороги. Полуразобранный трак около моста уже как родной)
Thank you for bringing us this very interesting video presentation which is very much appreciated. It is always a great pleasure for us to go on these journeys with you to Eagle Mountain.
This is fun but later no fun. Sad 😢 ! Greeting Ralf Zille (deaf) from Germany
Please turn on the captions for us hearing impaired, thank you
Ok .yes yes
Yes, jostaiii. I need also subtitles. Deaf from Germany 😀👍

Man im so jealous!! I would get lost for days on the rails id make a lil sleeping cart 😅

What a great fun ride that must be - wow!!
Beautiful - Just subscribed!

Cool video 👍👍
We’re these rail on the north (111) side or on the south (86) side of the lake?
111 north. At Ferrun CA.
They went halfway to Blythe. For the old Kaiser Steel mine.
i wish they didnt remove the old rails just like how we love to preserve steam engines we need to preserve the old railroads for future generations i hate how theyre doing this its s stupid it hurts that theyre destroying historical landmarks
its called recycling.
It will make a nice rail trail when the tracks are gone.
Brilliant as per usual.

They could be taking up the track as they don’t want a liability claim if someone is seriously injured on one of the carts
Красивые места и красиво проложенная дорога. дорога! Жалко, что заброшенная...! И ещё более жалко, что эту дорогу нашли сборщики металлолома и начали разбирать!
👍👍👍👍
Perhaps a few scenes in The Professionals (1966) were shot here.
🇳🇱👍👍👍👍👍👍💯🍀
2:29 Вы едете по высохшему озеру? Если да , то как давно там ушла вода и почему? . Буду благодарен за ответ.
More of these videos please
Could you explain why the horn going a cross bridges?
Why do you blow horn when in middle of no where and crossing bridges, but not approaching crossings?
There are no regulations or codes or sanctions here, I think that's why I blow the horn. a railway greeting
Same as screaming out with full lungs in the middle of nowhere : VERY liberating ! And like Archie said, NO rules, NO regulations, NO explanations. ENJOY FREEDOM !
Hello sir where are you from❤
Poor Little Fox ... those grade crossings were just a bit too much. Did that rail line come near Palm Springs?
No. It used to mege right next to Salton Sea into the main line.
Y eso esta abandonado el motor se veía bueno y el carro y ruedas está para armar otro carro saludos
How heavy and how fast is your cart bro, And can you drive it anywhere????. Id love to pull up in town in a cool cart to buy groceries and supplies and then ride off into the sun set without getting into trouble
Ahora llega Emiliano Zapata y se lía el asunto.😂
I wanna ride the railcar!!!
😮😮😮❤❤❤
That's probably where brightline is going to start their new that's why they're removing those tracks
🤔 what about all those thrown down the hill tared wooden rail road ties ❓️
11:56😔
Are you sure someone isn’t illegally taking those rails cause it sure looks like it
¿Por que las vías están como blancas?
8:05 Instalaciones eléctricas ¿para que están ahí?
8:09 ¿Es una casa?
8:16 Descarrilamiento.
13:23 ¿No hay peligro que se roben esa maquinaria?
Si hay varias casas unas 4 en total .en otra oportunidad fui a verlas. Son cables de alta tension que cruzan el desierto. Si descarrilamos . Nadie anda por ahi .pero si se pueden robar la maquinaria
@@archiemoreno ¿Y las vías por que están con un color parecido a blanco?
I see all this rail tracks and bedding going to such waste. Could expand services throughout America that is needed. Instead of one mile long trains is insane. Plus, it would increase military shipments. In case of war plus infrastructure.
Por el idioma y el acento sos Argentino?
Triste 😢
bad people! why do they break? After all, building is much more difficult! If they take it apart it will never be restored ((((
😢😢😢😢
:)
stop happyness
🥺
Just don't remove the rails!
Yes!! All is gone!!!😪😪
Esa maquinaria parecía estar abandonada
Please reinstall the railway.
😮💨😯😡
Ladrones, verdad....!? Se las están robando....
Hey it’s amazing how pretty the land scape is and one question as as dry as it looks we’re you scared of getting bit by snakes ?????
Stay off that dam Horn !!!!!!!!!!
Es in presionante que el ferrocarril se valla renovándose los rieles
