50 minutes of nothing but rolling rail, yet I can't stop watching. Probably the scenery, along with the refreshing feeling of freedom cruising unimpeded through miles and miles of desert. Love it!

My Aunt is in her last hours and she asked me. If I had photos of the west. She loved watching wild west movies with the old trains and right away I thought of these videos. She is watching with a smile on her face! Thank you guys for taking her on a last ride on earth...You were her 1st video I found.

I really enjoyed the ride, except for the excess horn blowing. Thanks so much for this piece of history. Aarre Peltomaa

Man hats off to the workers who laid this track! Can't imagine working in those conditions!

Stay OFF the Horn -- JUST PASS HIM ON THE RIGHT!!! lol

That looked like so much fun. Horn got a little annoying, but if it was on my cart I would probably do the same. Grown men never grow up we just get better at building our toys! Great vid guys. Would love to see some kind of series come out of this. Travel the country looking for old abandoned tracks to ride and explore

You know you got freedom when you can build your own railcar, slap a cooler and a horn on it and have this all to yourself...this is freaking awesome!

Its look like best roller coaster ever. Greatings rom Czech Republic guys

In 2016 we rode a rail speeder up those tracks and snuck into the employee neighborhood (abandoned). Security started chasing us and we ran back to the speeder which we used to make a hasty retreat. My friend really angered the guard and 4 weeks later when we went back, a 6 foot long bridge which went over a stream had been damaged to the point it was impossible to traverse. In 2018 we got confirmation that the guard was so angry he took his 4x4, tools, and chain and wrecked it on purpose, he made it basically a Derailment waiting to happen. I see the new timber as you guys drive over it, glad it's been fixed, the guard was actually prosecuted so this stretch of rail should be good for a long time (hooray!)

I love this!!! I can imagine reaching a point , deep into nowhere, pitching a tent, cooking up a meal and enjoying the silence and the stars as night fell. Wake up to a beautiful sunrise.

50 minutes of watching your foot and the rail rolling by, hypnotizing and fascinating at the same time.

The laughter at each stop was awesome. See ladies? It does not take alot to bring a man happiness. Freedom. No pressure. And simple pleasures are key to being happy. Well, and maybe an airhorn. Possibly that's why there is no passenger seat. LOL!

Give the damn horn a break

So relaxing the only thing keeping me awake is the horn

In 1979, I met my husband and I was introduced to the vast expanses of southern pacific, this looks a lot what I appreciated of the big sky and no annoying people

Soy cubano me gusta mucho ésas aventuras d ustedes .trabajé 48 años d MECÁNICO d las yamadas auto carriles me gusta mucho su trabajó gracias a todos..

Well, there goes 50 minutes I'll never get back and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute!!!

I’m in. Rig with brush guard, plexiglass bug screen, sun tarp, (doesn’t look it’s rained in about 1200 years.) spare cart in tow with seven days of food water beer camp gear solar panels, satellite internet. Chill out and enjoy the scenery. Way cool guys!!!

Now this is adventuring!

Beautiful views! I could really get into this kind of Hobby...👍

I worked on the drilling and blasting crew at the Eagle Mountain open pit iron mine back in the late fifties. I actually grabbed a ride in the cab of one of the Diesel engines. This Part of the desert is really desolate, there is NO shade, temps. Reached 130 degrees in mid summer out in the open.

Not quite sure why honking the horn every 5 seconds was deemed necessary, it was a bit annoying but other than that an enjoyable ride.. Thanks for letting us tag along! :)

Thanks for the ringside view! Was so gutted when the ride came to an end!

What impresses me is the enormous amount of work and $$$ to build that rail line. Note how the rail line is several feet above the desert floor. Some places 10 ft or more. Just the site work alone must have cost a fortune. I am from La. and have seen the Miss River levees for years. That is what the rail line reminds me of. Enormous amounts of capital was and is expended to maintain the levees, 100's of millions.

I went to kindergarten at the Eagle Mountain Elementary school. My dad was a millwright there we lived on Ironwood street third space from the end of the street. My playground back then was that whole area from the end of the street all the way to the tracks. Back then those tracks were filled with ore cars loaded with pellets. Fun times we had catching desert tortoises and lizards out there. The girls would give the tortoises names and write them on their shells. Oh how times have changed.

I was coming here to comment on the obnoxious horn, but I see everyone beat me to it. Brilliant idea though, rail cars are awesome.

Wow ang ganda ang Linis pa,injoy sa byahi ma'am God bless

This is wonderful and enviable!

*Opened in 1948, the last Train Rolled across its 51 miles of Track in 1986*

Turned the sound down sick of hearing that damned horn.

This looks like one of the coolest ways to spend your time with a fairly creative setup. There is something magical in that constant sound of steel against steel. The air and flora around. Wish there were more of abandoned railroads in Poland...

The one in front wasn’t driven by gasoline but by acoustics energy from the horn behind it.

This is NOT the ASMR sleeping to a train video that I wanted. Kept me up all night.

This is the best thing I've seen in a long while, absolutely brilliant! I would take a tent, BBQ and cool box full of beer and food and camp at the end then ride back in the morning.

Real happiness comes from inside.

That is the shit right there.. just freaking awesome! Looks like something out of the Mad Max movies.. classic!

Imagine all the work that went into the making of that railroad back in the day

Ahhh!!!! beauty...., young; I am almost 80 years old, but seeing this adventure of yours, and as a motorcycle trip; and feeling the hot wind and the heat flowing through the body is free life. Happy day. I traveled with you guys...very grateful.👏👏👏👏

Замечательно!!! ❤ Вот бы так прокатиться! 😊

This is too awesome for words. It reminds me of rowing on a river. Great job guys-thanks for keeping history alive for as long as you can.

I would love to do that! I would try to rig it with some kind of canopy for shade though. The desert sun is brutal..Thanks for sharing your adventure on KZfaq. I would take a sledgehammer to that airhorn Gallagher style.

Thank you guys. For that wonderful experience riding through the desert it was like a dream. I always wanted to travel though the desert like that .it really means allot to me that you took the time and effort to record the experience, it's such a good thing by allowing others like me to enjoy the trip. Thank you again for that experience. I hope they never shut that track down. Infact, I hope they open more of the rail lines to keep the history. Stay cool guys, awsome job.

Absolutely love this video. Could sleep while listening if not for the horn. But, thanks for sharing. Will probably watch it a few more times in the future. Railroad companies could make millions by building these hour long rides through places like that. But their greed what cause the price to be to high.

Loved the scenery. Thanks for taking us along.

Ребята,я вам завидую белой завистью. Удачи вам.Да хранит вас судьба.

That whole area off to the side looks like an ancient lake bed. Really cool.

Wow,amazing view of the Ole west,thanks for sharing God bless

I dreamed of doing this years before I discovered KZfaq, but then was delighted to see that others have already done it. So much fun to watch.

Thanks for the ride guys. That was wonderful. I worked on the railroad back in the early 70's and remember going south and came around a curve going about 50mph I imagine and one of the track inspectors was up ahead about 1/4-1/2 mile. He was still on the track trying to get off. The engineer slammed on the air. He got off ok and the air brakes were released but it sure put a scare into us. Riding a train is pretty much what you guys experienced except you're up higher and can see a bit better in the distance. Thanks again

Looks so fun! It's crazy--in the first few minutes you can tell that whole region was probably under water 1,000 years ago

I always wanted to do something like this, but nowadays they pull the tracks up pretty fast after abandonment. Just really cool that you shared this. Took some planning too!

This was excellent! Best part of the ride is that the driver can take his eyes off the road and enjoy the sights.

The horn dude needs to chill.....otherwise GREAT video... (I would have stopped from time to time to explore....(tressels/oasis with trees...etc)

I hiked the Spreckles railway years ago! From Jacumba to Ocotillo! Did over 3 days exploring the canyon floor and the tunnels! Found old chinese shoes! Place is crazy! The Goat Canyon Tressle is awesome! Hello from Scotland!👋🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I'm back here again, I tell you what to videos like yours got me through the lockdowns sure looks very fun don't stop riding the rails Brotha God Bless 🙏

this is what I say about where we find a space in life, a, a moment of spiritual PEACE, in front of beautiful images of that desert. grateful friend 😊😊😊 👏👏👏

A beautiful Zen Journey for the mind! Well - done! Thanks!! Silence has much to express.

I lived near some railroad track as a very young kid and that horn brings back memories. Horrible... horrible memories!

Video is excellent. Love the scenery. Could do with about 70% less horn though.

That looks like the most relaxing fun ever.👍😄 I'd be tempted to attach a Lay-Z-Boy recliner to it. Complete with beer holder of course.🍺

I had to work on that railroad track In 1975 parts of it was washed out and they used use miners to dig it out. I started working at eagle mountain iron ore mine in January 1975 stopped working there in June 1975. They were cleaning up all the back up piles. Then doing some repairs for 3 months. Then in September of 1975 the union went on strike. Don't know what happened after that.

The front cart's wheelbase looks way too narrow. You can see him bouncing back and forth down the tracks. A simple adjustment would stabilize the ride. And take that horn away from that child 🤠!

that's the end of the journey, Excellent ride sir...enjoyable.

Very cool!!!! Great to see these old abandoned rail lines still get some use before they are torn up & scraped.

Legend has it, you can still hear a train horn. Cool ride!

What's with the horn every 10 seconds? What else did you get for Christmas?

Its look like best roller coaster ever))That looked like so much fun))

Its My Dream Ride..❤❤ Always Wished such Adventures..❤❤

Imagine being out in the middle of nowhere, in a vehicle riding a route entirely alone but for one other person, and still feeling like you gotta lay on a horn for some stupid reason. Yeah, this is that guy.

I lived in Eagle mountain. My dad worked for Kaiser Steel. The mine closed in the seventies and now it's a ghost town. We were long gone before this happened.

Greetings fro Australia. You guys prove that yr never too old to have fun! I just couldent stop watching. Thanks for a great video 👍

What an adventure in a very arid but also very beautiful place.

Thats cool you could just load up your camping gear and get a private spot in the middle of nowhere....imagine the stars at night with no city lights.

Dammit, I wanted to stop watching this but couldn’t. Thanks for a great ride to the very end. 🐨🇦🇺

I imagine myself getting drunk and stoned just traveling like you guys

At that speed this is ABSOLUTELY FLYING...WOW I'd luv to go on that❤🥰

The railroad scenes in the movie "Tough Guys" with Bert Lancaster and Kirk Douglas were filmed on the Eagle Mountain. Railroad. Steam locomotive, Southern Pacific Daylight engine #4449 was used.

EXCELENTE VIAJE, SALUDOS

Those karts are so cool I saw one at cariso gorge I was dreaming of making one for months enjoy ❤

Весёлая прогулка! Успехов, спасибо за фильм!

I wanna do this someday so bad. The peacefulness,the solidarity, just you a machine and miles of rail and world to discover.

This looks like so much fun! God forbid if you ever broke down in the middle of nowhere.

ਕਿੰਨਾ ਵਧੀਆ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੋਣਾ, ਇਦਾਂ ਘੁੰਮਣਾ ਵਾਹ❤

That looks like so much fun! What a view too!

My sister needs something like this to go to work and put less wear and tear on her car! Of course I'm not sure how my niece would like the ride home from school!

Appreciate sharing the ride, beautiful scenery!

Thank you for uploading, I enjoyed it a lot! :))) So sad the tracks have been removed in the meantime.

I’m loving 🥰 this 😃 this is just too cool 😆remember Clear the vegetation and keep the tracks clean 🧹 What a Playground 😱🥳 lol 🤩 👀 look a mirages Paradise 🤣🤣🤣lol

Very cool, and amazing that no one has gone out there and scrapped all that rail..

The video brings back memories od when the SP pulled the ore trains out of there. A friend worked there back in the "60"s. Eagle Mountain lost their post office in "83.

Это круто, интересно, и романтично. Жаль, что железные дороги во многих странах разрушили. Отличное видео!!! За сомбреро и гудок - отдельное спасибо)

Something beautiful and peaceful about that. Love Southern California

es bonito mirar estos hombres trabajar y. disfrutar así que Diosito los haga sentirse muy felises

stunning, excellent idea of yours to do this. really enjoyed watching it . thnx X from sheryl in the uk.

Watching this while listening to Rudy Adrians song " Of Mosses and Liverworts". Truly is a wonderful song to compliment this amazing ride in the desert. Had the audio on the video just up enough to hear the steel wheels gliding on the tracks. Thanks for posting. I have never witnessed anything like this before.

The scenery and terrain looks like it is somewhere in Southern Africa. Enjoying the feeling of freedom with free minds as if it's me who is rolling.

It blows my mind how far we're come as humans. To think they built these railroads the hard way, with their blood, sweat and tears. It was a good ride. Imagine how hard and slow life was in the early days.

That l👀ks like some crazy fun shit but would have put horn-dude out FRONT! 🙄 LOVE ❤️ IT!

The horn would quickly get old. Still looks like a fun way to explore.

amazing! sitting with a cooler full of something to eat and drink .. amazing trip!
