Ahh... those derailed cars were not movie props, they actually hauled freight (beer) and went over the side... Not to mention those cars are far too modern for Hollywood movies of that era.
Lots of other great facts in your video though.
The Impossible Railroad is a true engineering marvel, thank you for the video!
Must have had a slight oversight during the research phase. Appreciate the information!
Wow, I'm really impressed with your video production. Great job, my man
Much appreciated!
Interesting video! Love the music and the fact finding. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super interesting! 👍
Interesting. Very brave to go into a dark hole without knowing if there was anything scarey hiding.
Love the history and your presentation ( even getting into a pickle lol) Thanks Mason
When was the last train to run on the line ? Could a train still run on the line ?
The last time it was used was in the 1980s I believe. The track isn't in good enough condition to run anything over any extended distance anymore.
@@MasonObscura On the wikipedia page it says the last time it was used was in 2008. I am very surprised it lasted that long
@@stevenwoerpel1884 Thats true, they were doing small local passenger trips, but from what I researched, all commercial traffic that went beyond the local area had ceased around the 80's. Either way, it's an impressive engineering feat.
@@MasonObscura Oh that makes sense. I cannot imagine any kind of modern train passing over this bridge.
2012 video of locomotive and 1 car out there, going over tressel.
Oh man!! I thought I heard this railroad to be reuse again for delivery to Mexico and back to the inland Empire!
No kidding its locked because they don't want you up there it's dangerous and your trespassing.. Duh.
They need to dynamite this trestle and get rid of it people are going across this thing and it's not safe.
High production values, poor screenwriting. Also the title is clickbait
