Working their arses off the twins separated by a generation show hard work in action. Something missing today in the woke generation
i agree
I am a child of the forties. We were the lost generation along with every generation that has followed. Woke also comes from the forties it is shorthand for ‘Being awake to racial and social disparities’ Just can’t see why people have a problem with that.
@@davecooper3238 woke it’s code for moveable morals. They have no moral center and the woke culture will eat its own children
@@sabertoothduck Not something to worry you then. But I still can’t see the problem that people seem to have with others that have. Awoken to the problems of social & racial injustice. Any militants will run their course. Just like the militant lesbians did in the 1980s U.K.
OH YES !!! :)
The reason we want more is because we're enjoying what you're doing. We're excited to see your progress, and we're cheering for you to succeed. Blessings, and keep up the good work.
yes. we want to put out more videos but it takes time.
You guys are really doing an awesome job clearing those trees and brush. Looking so much better 👍👍👍❤️
Love watching you two make the magic happen with a lot of sweat, swear, comedy, and country music. Who could ask for anything more? Keep up the awesome work, guys!
2 80 ton GE center cabs being replaced at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Likely will be on government auction.
Glad to see you up and running big thumbs up. Sure is nice to see father and son working side by side in this day and age.
Glad to see yall back.
Ya'll need a REAL chain saw and a tutorial on how to use one without pinching the blade, and also to make the tree fall in the best direction.
Get a new chain for the power saw. Watch internet on falling trees.
Cut a wedge in the direction you want the tree to fall, then cut from behind. 😉
Lack of adult supervsion
It's called a notch and tree falling is more an art then "cut a wedge".
No real tree feller would ever use an electric saw.
@@scottpecorino6320 that lad is going to get hurt
Good to see you producing new videos. Spring and summer reveals the need for some herbicide to keep new brush overtaking areas you already cleared.
hello and welcome back.... great narrative and film footage..... the track looks nice and straight,,,, drainage in order, too.
good luck gentlemen, we are cheering for you....... Bill in Bellows Falls, Vermont
Excellent video I enjoyed watching it and I am looking forward to seeing your next video.👍😀😀😀😀😀🚂🇬🇧
Now that’s worth the price of admission! Get her done!
It is good to see the railroad coming back to life. I am looking forward to part two.
Looking good! Love to see how determined you are. And I'd pay cash money to see you chew those trees down. lol
Love that good ol' country music.
Great to see you getting back into it.
Firdt rule of workshop, or any dangerous work: always have a 2nd person onsite.
That tree nearly clobbered you :(
We like you & what you're doing, and hope to see you at it for many more moons 🙂👍
Great to see another video! That grapple truck is a handy piece of equipment. To make clean-up easier, you could zap that foliage with a brush killer.
Y'all are awesome. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next video.
Awesome 👍 sweat 😅 equity! Keep up the great work. You will succeed.
Hey guys. For anything 4 inches or less you are better off with a sawsall. Its faster. And safer than a chain saw. Plus cheaper if u smash it
Great return! That narration/summary at the beginning was a great way to bring everyone up to speed. One thing I don't get, at 1:24 ??? I thought Brian said in a previous video that freight brokers would bring in business for railcar storage when the rails are ready. Has that changed?
To drum up leads for transloading, you could find out who is utilizing transloading locally that would be similar to what you would have to offer. Without making any enemies, find out who the customers are. Cold call them on the phone and offer a competitive discount to get their business. Ask for business the same way R.J. Corman did when he started out.
How could anyone not enjoy watching a father and son working together? Plus they have Mrs. East Terminal Railway to keep them humble. God bless you and safety first out on that "High Iron".
Hi Brian, im a railfan from Iowa and i really love watching your channel. I really love the format so far. What i would also love to see down the road is once you guys are further along and have some contracts in place and/or are comfortable reveaking your location, it would be cool to hear about the history of the particular branch you bought (if we havent already). If you have mentioned the history, i apologize for not remembering. let me know i will go back and watch that particular episode. The other thing that would be rad is if you guys did a collab with Jawtooth (whose name is also Brian) He is in Southern Ohio, so if you guys are centralish ohio, it would be an easy drive for him.
Okay, you guys were having too much fun at 11:00 in the video. Lol! I recognized the tune right away. 😁
great to see you back in action .
The high-rail truck footage was very cool to see. But also very cool to see some progress happening with the railroad. "Slowely but surely" is the phrase to use and I think thats the best way that any project can go. Great job so far guys! 💯🤙
Battery power is superior for tools now, love it.
THEY'RE BACK
Great to see you back! Gotta work at your pace and we will be here to watch it all.
2 ordinary, hard working guys. I ordered a tee shirt. It might be the only one in the UK. I missed you. Welcome back.
Awesome! Thank you! love to hear that you are from the UK. its cool to know that we have been seen all around the world.
Good to see you back in action! You could get a good firewood business going there.
Hi from Southern California. Great to see a new video.
The best part of your channel is the fact that you are just ordinary folks working a dream.. The scale of the 'railroad' is something that we can all relate to.. A very short line, and the basic work to reclaim it from decay. Standing by for more...
Make sure the chain is sharp!!!
And have 1 or 2 sharpened spare chains with you if are sawing neae ballast.
An adequqte round file should always be in the chainsaw toolset.
Ozark Mountain Railcar has several center cab switchers right now. A 70 ton GE, a 50 ton Porter, and I think 44 ton GE. Lots of EMD F units and Geeps. Don't know if you knew of this resale company or not and I just happened upon it yesterday and thought I'd mention it. Great video. Looking forward to the other half. Stay well. -Wil 👍
Battery operated equipment IS the wave of teh future! I LOVE my battery operated weed eater, & leaf blowers!
Think what you have done is amazing
Glad to see you back working and posting.
When I saw the first episode last year, I said to myself, 'Who is this fool holding a chain saw?' I'm very glad I kept with it! Great to see you back.
Glad to see y'all are back at it again.
I am so encouraged by your awesome work ethic and hard work to resurrect this terminal railroad...God Bless you two!
thank you. God bless you and your family
That spark plug appeared to be whiskered. Something that happened a lot on 1940/50s U.K. two stroke motorcycles. We always carried spare spark plugs in our toolkit.
Came to the comments section to see what all of the 'chainsaw experts' had to say...was not disappointed. Amazing to see all the experts come out of the woodwork, regardless of what is happening in the video they are watching...lol.
Great to see you guys back at it and thanks for uploading another video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yes, you are right about all the experts coming out of the woodwork.
You guys are doing an awesome job
great video
Great to see you guys back.....
Glad to see you back! Better get a Stihl chainsaw... Gas or electric. It may be German engineering, but it is still "Made in the USA"! The older brands that I used in the past were all sold off to China to "make a buck". But, do get a chain sharpener, because the "stock" chains are not as aggressive as what you can set with the saw. When you cut walnut, hickory, locust, oak or other hardwoods (let alone epay, a/k/a ironwood), you need a sharper chain than what they will sell you by default in a store. Start with the "default" chain and then resharpen the chain with a professional sharpening shop or learn to do the work yourself. You will need 2-3 chains. And get some chainsaw chaps, vest and gloves to ensure that you don't cut into yourself. You already have the safety glasses, boots and hardhats. But face protection in chainsaw work needs a full face shield and hearing protection beyond earbuds (even noise-cancelling types).
Gr8 job gents! Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this amazing journey as you bring this railway back to life. I just bought a shirt to support your efforts.
If I lived closer, I'd be over there everyday to help.
I envisioned this long railroad and I don't know why but now I understand what it is you have and what it is you're trying to do and if you can get a customer or two and make money at it that's great
Looking at other small railroads the biggest problem seems to be the maintenance required the amount of money and time that has to be spent constantly replacing ties and ballast.
It sounds like you have some equipment but what do you plan to do for replacing the ballast and the ties as they need replacing ?
Can you rent the equipment needed and get the railroad you connect with to supply you with the ballast and rent the cars needed or are you planning on manually bringing the ballast using a front loader or some other equipment that you already own ?
I love watching all of what you do, I love trains & how you 2 are working together to bring a siding back to life. Keep it up
I cant say how much I love your content what you do is so cool!
Blue Thank You! Thanks for following us, WAY more to come! Brian
THANK GOD!!!!!!
GLAD TO SEE YOU GUYS
Great to see you back Need to get a done in the air to record the whole site for the before and after videos
Great to see you back in action! I have had the pleasure of working with my son over the years, and there’s hardly anything as satisfying. May God bless your endeavor!
Has the railroad thought of organizing a fan support weekend where subscribers could.all meet at the railroad to help with a project requiring many hands to get it done? Of course, harmless waivers would need to be signed but summertime is funtime on the railroad!
This would make for an interesting reality TV show.
As for car storage, look to possibly store loaded LPG cars in summer when faculties don’t have room or need for them till late fall , know of such a situation in eastern PA, $$$
Loaded?
Wouldn't stored propane need security on it 24/7 ? I doubt any insurance carrier would cover it if some kids opened up a valve or managed to start a fire.
@@stanpatterson5033 well, it doesn’t need 24/7 baby sitting in PA , however it can require certain regulations depending where it located
@@30yrsengr41 First they need to buy the first 50 ft of their spur from the HOA or whoever next door who actually owns it lol. And if they wanted to store cars they would need to go through the STB first to become a railroad. I'm 90% sure they're gonna use it to make a railcar repair facility.
They would be better off storing the frac sand cars that are used to get the natural gas out of the ground in PA... These cars are shorter, so they could get more of them on track, and they are in storage all over here! (WI)
Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 13 Jun 21.
Just binge-watched season 1! Can’t wait to see season 2 unfold, keep it up guys!
Once you get it cleaned out depending on the other railroad you might actually be able to send to sell the line back to the other railroad for them to use it as storage
I know you have a dream of getting customers but if all else fails you might get an offer from them to buy you out
I think you will find the dozer handier for a lot of the other clearing work. Same as with the saw, though, watch out for those widowmakers. Guards over the radiator, covering behind you, and over you, highly recommended. Front to protect the radiator, from behind in case a chain or cable breaks, overhead in case something in the tree you are trying to push over falls. That dead one breaking so easy is a fitting example.
Beware of saplings pinned under a dropped tree. Cutting one loose from the ground, and being in the wrong spot, can result in getting your teeth relocated or worse. At best, you'll look like you paid a visit to Cotton Eyed Joe's.
The long awaited season 2 is finally here! Can't wait to see what's in store this year. It's been a real pleasure following your journeys and the progress you guys have made.
Bulldozer baby!
Great content. Great videos. Praying for your success and protection. God bless
Thank you so much 🤗
You need to retain some of that brush/ wood to have a big bonfire and wiener roast some night.
glad to see you back keep the vedios coming
So glad you are back and that T-shirts are now available (I have placed an order). Now, PLEASE, at least a basic track diagram to we can better understand the layout and where you are working. PRETTY PLEASE? :-)
A basic diagram is shown in a previous video th-cam.com/video/_WKLVf-jVqU/w-d-xo.html
I have to agree with the comment that said you are cutting trees in a dangerous way. It also looked to me like your chain wasn’t sharp. It took far too long to cut those trees. If the saw is putting out fine dust instead of chips, the chain is dull. Also I recommend you invest in a Stihl Farm Boss or professional saw. They will perform better and last longer. Get a spare chain so that when one dulls, you can change out, get back to work and have the dull one sharpened.
One recommendation from a safety stand point. Wear gloves when working like that especially around cutting tools. Fun video. It's great to watch your progress.
Be Intresting to see the mainline connection from a UK railwayman
You Guys are just great. It’s always great watching your videos. What a undertaking you guys have taken on but man things are starting to take shape. Looking follow to the track work for sure. Take care and be safe. Thank You..
Hooray for field season. Looking forward to seeing what you guys get into.
You guys are doing a good job if you're still doing this in 2 year's I'll drive out from nys in the new RV to visit
Well of course its always worth the wait! Great job once again Brian & Graham. It's not easy to hit all point and make everyone happy, but for me you guys hit all the contact points, seriously. I like the content, character, machinery, track work, personalities, field trips,and of course the meet and greet in Morris il. You guys do a bang up job and I am praying that you guys are safe , prosperous have a great season 2!!
Good to see you back! Nothing is ever easy keep at it!
Please do not pick up a snapping turtle by its tale as this can damage its spine. Love your videos
Been waiting for a new season...you have made some nice progress
You should have a BYOT,...(Bring your own Tractor)......Byotis........(Bring your own tie inserter)Parties........
Welcome back to being able to work on the physical plant again. Seeing a lot of progress from that first video hacking through the jungle like Indiana Jones.
Glory be an actual target on that switch throw at about 14:00.
Those things always seem to be either destroyed by vandals or "saved from the scrappers " so that must have been buried way back in the brush.
Nice bit of Texas Swing for the musical accompaniment.
For a little more than what that Pull and Pull chainsaw costs you can get a Stihl Farm Boss. Great work though keep the videos coming.
welcome back, about time, btw you
all ever heard of axe's?, and your
contractor is going to luv you for that forest of stumps left over, fyi
when you drop trees, you make your
cuts closet to the ground ;-)
Hey there. Found your channel by way of searching for abandoned railroads about a month ago, so have watched many of your videos, starting at the beginning.
I'm glad to see all the progress you've made and the things you've learned (often the hard way), including camera work.
I'm now a subscriber and will be watching your future updates.
Hopefully any father-son tension you might be having is short-lived, so keep at it!
Will be great to see you get some cars for storage and/or a transfer customer, or two!
MJ from Canada
I did a large clearing for a pond and I used nothing but a battery chain saw. It is a 14” saw and I was cutting trees up to 20”. It was not a Dewalt, it was a better saw without the Dewalt price. The saw worked so well that I found the job more pleasant than any others. I had 4 batteries (2 sets) so I could cut without any stopping.
you are both very impressive
Little by little it's coming along.
I thought you guy's dropped off the planate. Good to see you back.
Thanks for the update! You have a growing audience out here hoping the best for you guys..
Oh yes, a Merchandise Shop. I was ordering some stuff. I think this fantastic project should get every help, they can get. :D
Yes! Thank you!
Keep going! It will be amazing when it is completed!
Can you provide a schematic of the tracks? Good to see you back.
A basic diagram is shown in a previous video th-cam.com/video/_WKLVf-jVqU/w-d-xo.html
@@Historail Thanks
Glad you guys are back. Looking forward to season two. Hope you will think of adding a pull over hoodie and a long sleeve t-shirt to your merchandise.
Like your determination but ditch the Poulan and get a real saw. My Poulan lasted 10 cord of wood then the clutch went out. That was in 1987, bought a Stihl and it starts every time. 30 plus years.
Welcome back.
There is nothing inherently wrong with that Poulan chain saw. It is light duty, but then you are not professional loggers. Just take care of it, keep it sharpened and oiled, and you will be fine with it. Thanks for the videos. I have watched them all. Jon, U.P., Pacific Coast line, Santa Barbara sub, M.P. 404.
Sharpen chain? I'm glad you're back with decent WX.
A video FINALLY !!!! YEA !
Tree Work is Dangerous. There is one (1) Right Way to Cut Safely. Please Watch a Video & Live.👍
It is better to get someone who can teach you, and show you your mistakes live. Every tree is different and there are so much ways to deal with it. A Video will never teach you all. The part with the jamed Dewalt and the the thing with the crane to but load on a log while sawing were scary.
