- A group of 5 people travel at speed down an abandoned railway line from Cisneros to Anolaima in Colombia. Transportation is just a platform with wheels and a brake - no engine, just gravity. A drop of over 2500 feet in 14 miles through a tunnel. The fastest stretch is at the end.
You passed through all my favorite towns!
Cow and Guy
Running Dog 1

+Mooshpups and you have to much time on your hands lol
+obieezx11 It's "TOO" much time, first of all. Second of all, I don't find comments like this very humorous, what I choose to do with my time isn't really your business and has nothing to do with how much of it I have.
sheep
***** Are you suggesting we do Diapers and bondage? Because I'm down.
+Mooshpups guy burning things towns rocks...It really picks up in the springtime...the dude knows how to run his town everything is on fire...it is a great place for a hot meal
that was cool. the reaction from the sheep and dogs were priceless.
Yeah, I noticed that --- at 1:00 da sheep is staring like, "What da HECK is DAT?!??"
"The WEED-WACKER EXPRESS" - you guys are just too cool for words. Ride long and be safe!
Come on guys - 3 months clearing work by a bunch of compadres and you have one of the most lucrative tourist attractions in the area ready to bring serious money to benefit the local community. With volunteers it wouldn't cost a huge buch of money. Can I book the first ride?
that's right and fueled by social media there would be reservations needed
Totally agree with you
I think the same way.
No, that would spoil it. Call something paradise, kiss it goodbye.
But that would attract unwanted attention from corrupt officialdom.Still, they could have taken a few hours to clear the small landslides and make it easier on themselves.
Aside from moving the car over the obstacles this looks like a fun ride. As soon as I saw the first 10 seconds I knew it was Colombia before I even read the description. This reminds me of going through the Andes when I was there many years ago. Such a beautiful country. Thanks for the memories. I'm going to forward the link to my friend in Bogota.
It's amazing that so much of the rails are still there and no-one has stolen them for scrap metal.
The animatronics are freaking realistic !
Oh man, your comment cracked me up! Thanks for the laugh. I truly needed it! =)
Òoòo
They were moving at a Disney-ing pace.
@@larsanderson3072 haaaaaa
Iknowright?!!
Can you imagine being on a roller coaster sitting in the back seat, and hearing people in the front yell, "HORSE!!!!"
Simplesmente, fantástico! Que garotada criativa e é ter muita coragem para andar nesses trilhos abandonados, mas estão em um bom estado de conservação e perfeitos para usá-los em um passeio turístico...fica aí a dica garotada e garanto que não vai faltar passageiros. Outra dica, é que esse vídeo é um documentário para mostrar os abandonos das ferrovias. Parabéns pela postagem do vídeo.
The loops and the "g" forces on the ride, made me want to come back for more and more.
Plus, the thrill of not having a harness to keep you in the car, kept my adrenaline going! What a ride! When Disney sees this, they're going to want it as well!
It's just amazing, what you can do, with two pieces of steel.
I would love to ride that!
I would love to ride ANY set of rails if I could have a cute sweet-faced lady like her for a riding companion :D
Beautiful ride thru beautiful country, Awesome. Thanks for sharing
There is something heartwrenchingly sad about abandoned railways. They represent a terrible waste of what with a little investment, care & appreciation could be a massive social economic strategic asset.
I keep hoping "opportunity!" will be on everyone's mind... and weed-whackers... and doggie treats.
A Freeman airplanes took over and ups and FedEx!
Okay, I'll tell you what: how about you go down there and clear away the landslides and clear off the brush and scrub, and fix up the grade crossings. How about you invest your money, take care of the line, and appreciate it. And just what will be the "massive" social advantage, the economic gain, the strategic import of doing that? If there's not enough to get you to drop what you're doing and skedaddle down there to get it done, then you are talking through your hat.
The rail line had a purpose,. it served it, it is no longer useful. The sentiment that a ribbon of steel is necessarily a "massive" asset is silly.
@@louisc.gasper7588 It may well be that the rail line could be useful to the local people… but they are not taken into account in the bigger scheme of things planned by the city people.
That's what @A Freeman who started this thread is trying to say. And he's right.
We have zillions of infrastructures that were built and poorly maintained as soon as money got invested elsewhere… and making local people poorer…
@@vincent7520 "It may well be ..." And there is zero, precisely zero, evidence of that. You have no foundation for your speculation.
That looks like great fun. Friends spending the day on an adventure.
What a nice scenic tour. :) So much wildlife. I'd love to go on this.
Wildlife? You wouldn't say those are domestic animals at all? You think those are wild cows and sheep?
Not much wild-life but plenty of wild-flowers. Saw a few butterflies too.
Hermosos paisajes de Colombia. La verdad que merece explotarse turisticamente este viaje, no solo para los que gusten de los trenes, pero la variedad y belleza de paisajes es impactante.
There's one in the UK that's over 25 miles. Used to belong to a slate company in the Midlands.
Fancy seeing you here, Larry. What's that 25 mile one called, anyhow?
Ffestiniog in Wales can be seen here th-cam.com/video/B5xzUsNbZ-g/w-d-xo.html
Larry Bundy Jr hey! Larry!
@@flyxingu Ffestiniog is powered, not free running so doesn't count.
@@bazra19 If you watch th-cam.com/video/B5xzUsNbZ-g/w-d-xo.html from 3:48 you will see the loco is disconnected from the wagons which then return to Porthmadog Harbour using nothing but gravity. The wagon in this video must have been taken up to the summit by some form of power even if only man power it's still power
This is just brilliant! Dogs, cows, sheep, horse, weeds, road blocks, real life and pretty person. Release the full length ride.
I watched and wondered what it would take to rebuild that line from the lowest point to the highest point. I would love to be involved in doing such a project.
Me too
This is the sort of thing that everyone who is young or young-at-heart would love to do!
Yep, fer sher --- I am always ready and willing to do something like this. 'Course, in this case, there would be an added incentive for me to ride along --- that incentive has a cute sweetly-smiling face and long glossy dark hair :D
@christopher thomas I think that would qualify you as young at heart!
That was very cool! Thanks for posting this video!
I wouldn't mind taking that ride myself, very nice scenery in one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Viva Colombia.
i wish you had the 3 hours recorded because i loved every single minute of this . Thank you so much !! YOU GUYS ROCK !!
Very very interesting ride. People living around there should form a group to run this track as a tourist attraction. Down hill ride and with refreshment along the way. This will keep people around there with work. Also maintenance work to the rail and weeding on the track.
Absolutely fascinating! Amazed no-one stole rails for scrap.
Worth nothing compared with coke.
That's a lot of work for not much payoff.
And should the thief transport the stolen rail? There are no roads!!!!!!
Sorry but that's not a smart comment. Rails are bolted and or welded together. The labor alone is many times more in dollars than the return on the sale. That is of course if you could even find a buyer. In other words your far better off collecting aluminum cans and bottles or just about anything would pay many times more.
@Gavigg75- Melt steel rails down??
Great video, thanks for keeping the music low , good choice of music ! My grandfather used to ride on the old rail cars about the size of that one except it had a 250cc two stroke engine underneath that propelled it for the work crew. They would flip it over onto the tracks then push it whichever direction they wanted to go, it would run either way.
This is wonderful! One of the coolest, most enjoyable things I've ever seen. I need to find one for me a bit closer to home.
(Watching on 21-Sep-2020)
Thanks for taking me along for a ride with y’all.
Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed the ride along!
This would make a great tourist attraction. Backpackers love this kind of thing.
A nice long ride. And thank you for not hitting all of those people and animals. Good brake man ! By the way, who was the cutie pie that rode along ? She made the trip that much more pleasant. Now, now, I meant that in a "NICE" way ! Thanks !
Fucking creep
+10 for the video !
-10 for music, hands, legs, selfies, fones...
just the trip with front mount cam and no extras would be awesome !
full hour or full trip would be a bonus
I absolutely loved it if you love anything to do with riding the rails you'll love this
Fantastic run! Love the wilderness, it's amazing how overgrown it's become since the video was put up nearly 8 years ago.
That looks so fun!
This is the ultimate coaster ride, looks like so much fun!
Now THAT was truly the most amazing "roller-coaster" I've seen!
A thrill of a lifetime!
The hell with Six Flags! - I'm going to Colombia! :)
Awesome video, thanks for sharing!!
What fun that must of been I could only watch and dream of doing somethink like that how lucky you all were whata trip I loved your video so fun to of watched it thank you for showing. God bless
doesn't look like it'd take much maintenence to reactivate the track
You need to travel through Colombia to understand why that is...
dhowser2008
Locomotives typically have about ~20 tons of weight per wheel.
So not really.
Loading generally specified per AXLE, not WHEEL. So really not really.
Jacques Blaque Autocorrect changed it, my apologies.
Still, the weight of a typical locomotive would be much too heavy to travel on such a line. Maybe a Simplex or some other ex-war department locomotive might be okay, and I think Deucaville Davenport made some very light locomotives, but I can't imagine anything bigger than that working on this line.
That is the coolest thing I"ve seen in a very long time. Every kid's (and old man's) dream.
I know parts of your country can be dangerous, and I gather access to heavy machinery is an issue, but I can see tourists paying good money for a ride like that. Both for the fun of what the ride is, and seeing the countryside in its "natural" state; farmers, sheep and cows beside the tracks, the overgrown bits, and regular Columbians just going about their business. It looks like a lot of fun and if I could afford to, I'd gladly get you the equipment to clean up the line
Might not take much. Ther overgrowth is not very heavy; I mean there aren't any trees or even saplings growing between the rails. And the landslides didn't look to be very numerous, or very extensive, or very deep. The rails didn't seem to be heaved or broken. The real problem might be access to the rail head. And there's the issue of liability when the cow doesn't get out of the way in time.
I really like how this seems to help some of the locals earn some desperately needed 💰
I'd like that converted to a coaster.
Would be cool, especially if you could add an engine.
Kory Booth Yeah a couple of 12 volt electric motors (or solar powered?) would make it a tourist business attraction....
Kory Booth 8:52 this guy did.
Yea, Columbia. You could have a ride like in Disneyland, with fake communist rebels popping up and shooting at you at every turn.
That was great! Thank you for taking us on your trip!
Imagine if the entire track was kept up? It would be an even better ride.
Michael M But it would not be nearly as adventurous
The right speed, interesting surroundings, and going faster downhill. That makes it a fascinating ride for me! At least you have a long enough length of good track for this
Too bad Columbia is so far away, now that I am in my retirement this looks like a lot of fun definitely something to add to my bucket list. You probably couldn't do that here in the US i.e., regulations galore, if the paperwork didn't kill you or your business the insurance premiums would.
+Mike Schmidt Colombia not Columbia
+MrStriter - Thanks for the correction ;)
Ah yes but you have the Shea engines and the George Town Loop!
MIKE,,,,YOU CAN BUILD A MOTORIZE RAIL COASTER,,,,,OR BUY ONE,,,,THEIR ARE ABANDONED RAIL LINES ALL OVER THE WEST YOU CAN RIDEON,,,
This is great. Seems like the ride of a lifetime for a group of explorers.You wonder what's around the next curve or beyond that overgrowth hiding the rails. I had to watch the entire clip and was disappointed when it ended. If I ever get to Colombia I hope this is included in the tour.Thanks for sharing.
Would make for a great Tourist attraction
Looks like they could need some customers.
Looks like they need a weed whacker.
therealeben good one
Is it legal there? Would be awesome, having weed growing next to the tracks. Would open a whole new market. Weed/Railway Tourism. And with the right kind of stuff, that trip's gonna get a lot more interesting.
This would make a great setup for a part 4 movie 'hostel'
*Que juegos americanos ni que nada. Este es el mejor ride que hay que vivir. Completamente vistas naturales, y una sensaciòn de ver y ver avanzar y avanzar. Que bonito ME ENCANTO. gracias por compartir. Dios les Bendiga!*
It's amazing how the tracks are so well conservated
What a cool ride!!! Loved those obstacles along the way. It looked as if they were hired to be there as the car passed by. This is one ride I want to take someday.
What a neat ride. I was waiting for some banditos to jump out at you however.
I just LOVE it!! Here in South Africa near Sir Lowry's pass is a track coming down the mountain. Always had this kind of thing in my mind. The track does though carry frequent traffic!!! Risky.
Would like to see it come back to life again
You just did.
I got distracted by the Senorita but it looked like a lot of fun.
Risky especially when you can't always see the state of the track and obviously road vehicle crossings.
Delightful, kept my interest the whole time! I would love to take that ride!
So who has to push it back 14 miles, for the next ride? :-)
they probably put the cart in the back of a truck or tow it back up
+Kyle Gardner There is an engine with them, you can hear it throughout the middle of the video.
+Kyle Gardner There is an engine with them, you can hear it throughout the middle of the video.
+Morlanius Those were just probably cheap Chines bearings you were hearing. ;-)
+FruittisMaris There is no engines.
Looks like so much fun , wish I could do that. Awesome sceneries and great job on your little cart too! I really enjoyed this, thanks for sharing :)
The dog runs faster than this "roller coaster"
Wow did you make that observation all by yourself.
That's s a long haul in reverse. How to you get up the 14 mile elevation?
LeRoy Creasey A truck probably picks it up
LeRoy Creasey
just like water flows up hill then down, I'm going to take a miniature steam boat from the gulf coast to Canada by the Mississippi river and would not get higher than 2000 ft less than a 1/4 mile I'll call the boat missing queen some places I'll have to wait For a flood to sink the German boat on the lake in Canada. The olny thing not flat is the way from the level flat lake to the flat sea level.
@@donaldreeves6512 huh..?
Very Cool to be able to use that old track system ..... hope no one takes it away from you.....👍👍👍
just pray that no take a rail for scrap. looks like fun
I thought about that. ..that would suck
William Lidstone would be proud to see the tunnel and the line survived so long after abandonment, one thing us Brits do well is build railways
That looked like a lot of fun.
No idea how I got here...I was watching a guy doeing repairs on a Dinky Toy before this.
I love TH-cam...awesome video.
I think they have a one track mind LOL. Have a great day everyone.
There is an abandoned railway here in Brazil, 'Ferrovia do Contestado', the gauge, radius and even the deep-valley surroundings are similar.
8:30 There goes the tip.
thank goodness for 2x speed setting on the video. it made it look much more fun.
A very nice track adventure.
Looks way more interesting than any roller coaster I've seen.
Need to bring a weed wacker next time!
Three of them! One on each side and one in the middle :-)
Now you have to push it back up to the top! Good luck. Nice video, enjoyed the ride. Thank you.
That thing definitely sounds like there is an engine on it. Cute girl too.
Just the noise of the rollers on the uneven-surfaced track. Yeah, the lovely lady is why I keep watching this :D
What A Ride!! Living Life At It's Fullest
This Would Make For A SWEET SERIES On You Tube!! KEEP ROCKIN THE RAILS👍❤️
There nobody cared if they passed by them or beside them on the cart, but here you would get shot going 10 feet beyond someone's property line.
there's a lot of nutty stuff on youtube, but this takes the cake. this could be a tourist
ride ! charge people to ride down this track ! first, get somebody to shovel out that dirt slide and start making carts, eco-track carts ! give 'em a bottle of water and an apple half way down- charge for souvenir video of their trip. this opportunity isn't just knocking-it's banging on your head man !
12:27 so thats where Dorothy ended up (Wizard of Oz) :D
Marvellous :-)
What a piece of railway engineering ! Sell those adventure rides for tourists, you will get full house.
It looked like that sheep was going to take them on. Then he changed his mind at the last minute.
That looks like so much fun, If I ever go to Colombia, I'd like to do that. All they need to do is clear the brush and dig out some of the track and it would be great.
+kdubb 81 Me too! But I'd like the whole ride as is. It's an adventure. :)
This was pretty cool but the music was pointless and distracting.
Mmmnmmmmmmmm. Vgfffgf. Nnnnnnnnjjjjjjjjjknf. Vvvvvv. V
Music sounded like AC/DC without any words.
@@mynameiscreativity Looks like someone let their cat walk on the keyboard again.
I shut it off right away
Your device has no volume control?
Looks a sensational ride. Only draw back is THE trip back! haha
how do you go back up?
I imagine they put it in the back of a pick-up and drive it back
must be hahah :) thanks for the input
How
+Ryan Buiz That's what motorbike buddy does, hauls her back to the start.
click on the beginning of the video
Wow. That is really cool and looks like a great way to spend an afternoon! Enjoy!
wd40 is a degreaser bearings need grease. not a good idea to put wd40 on bearings.
It's a water displacer, but yeah, not a good substitute for a bearings lubricant.
You re lucky because you still have that small piece of treasure ! this is really a down to earth adventure ! BIG LIKE :)
would be cool if somebody put a engine on it.
some parts of the third world they do just that.
Cool!! Thank you for sharing!! Glad you guys didn't get hit by any of those animals :)
Great video!! How did you know there wasn't a log or heavy debris blocking the tracks? Always wanted to do this! Many thanks!
The cart has a brake.
@@sludge4125 unless it's around a curb. Or if the log is too heavy. Or mud on the tracks. Or rocks. You get me.
@@tullibee The cart has a brake. And the operator knows how to use it. And you don’t go faster than you can stop the cart when you see a hazard.
What a great idea for a disused railway. Shame to see it no longer viable but it would be nice to see more unused tracks used like this around the world, gravity permitting of course.
How do I book a ticket on this marvelous train?
Way cool. Now that’s a tourist attraction!
That cart needs bigger wheels on it, It would go much faster and smoother
That would make it too heavy for the portages
@@albertstadt9853 only if solid wheels. If hallow in the center like machine pulleys, they wouldn't be much heavier at all than the solid ones that are on there.
That was oddly satisfying to watch. Thanks.
Would love a go ...:-))
Wow this is beautiful!! I would love to go on this! The horse at 3:40 something made me feel so happy. It was beautiful and majestic :)
it's more of a scenic train not a rollercoaster
Now I've got a reason to visit Colombia, this looks awesome!
