A little fun on a deserted line.

Dadgum it have you been watching A lot of them? If so, then that’s why.

Off and on for years of wanted to build one my roadblock is finding the wheels

Me too! Grew up in Reno

The track literally ended there

@@klaus9714 More track is seen beyond the gravel road . How far I have no idea . A shovel and hoe should take care of "road maintenance" for the ambitious .

They go to McGill Nevada.

I've long wanted to ride the rails like this. But even more I'd love to traverse the UK in a canal boat!

Brian Fedline, I just saw your comment. I would be interested in riding that line. Do you work for the Idaho Northern Railway? I have talked to them and hadnt had much luck. the line is currently in fair shape except for rock slides and down trees.

Do you know how to make one?

Marlene wants to fight! -- Well i don’t know if this is a troll or not but i just noticed i said 350 and not 360 😂. So to make a 360 VR video, there are many companies out there who make these cameras... Some very affordable and some very expensive. Im partial to Insta360... wide range of cameras and prices. But there are a lot of companies that make very good and affordable cameras. Simple to operate and do a great job.

Poppageno i have a Jack on the back that allows it to be turned around.

I made mine and bought the wheels from this guy. They are great wheels and have made the money back. Railriders.net.

He said: Very cool that motorized railcar!!!!!

Very cool and we are actually thinking of taking what we learned with this bike and building a new one out of aluminum here soon as this one is a little heavy. the wheels came from Rons Railrider Wheels here is a link to his site they were quite pricy about $920 i think for them. but well worth it as it rides quite and true. www.railriders.net/

Eriks Gar. You should get a horn, air or electric, long, long, short, then long as you enter the crossing. Also, 24 to 36 vdc pulse in the rails to turn on and off crossing lights, fwiw. You guys s are kewl!

Wow! I bet an aluminum frame would make a zippy little rail buggy. If you had alot of cash, carbon fiber would build a rail rocket.

I think he said: Here in Brazil the guys would love to ride these carts.

Yes, that is pretty much the end of the line. You will note that this section of rail is identified in the video as the "High Line". When in full operation its function was to take trains of copper ore cars to the concentrator plant which was located on the sloping side of the valley. This line was built up the side of the valley so that it could dump the ore into the plant up high and the process could then flow downhill so most of the material movement was done by gravity. Concentrated ore was then loaded into freight cars for the trip North up the floor of the valley on the "Main Line". There was no point in carrying the "high line" further North past the concentrator plant when, if you wanted to travel further North, you would just do it on the main line. This "end of line" is located just East of McGill Nevada at the North end of town. The concentrator plant is long gone, but of you look at the area on Google maps / Google Earth you can still see some remnants of the infrastructure such as water tanks and the like.

The ride is smooth. The end of the line is where I stopped tracks were removed years ago. At one time it led the the mill where the copper ore was dumped and processed.

@@Eriks191 Thanks for taking the time to reply, - very interesting. :-)

Devendra this is the end of the line today. Originally the line ran further into the big smelter where the ore was deposited and smelted. This was a railroad the hauled tons of copper ore and pure copper.

tootall287 the highline ends where I stop riding. The rail is removed just past that dirt road. McGill is just around the corner about half mile.

Twin Video Production yes I did obtain permission to ride here by the Nevada Northern.

Allan Cron the line is used by the Nevada northern railway museum. They operate all summer and late fall. I got permission to ride on these rails.

Thanks for that good to know it is still used by trains from the Nevada northern rail museum, I hate to see rail lines either completely abandoned or even worse pulled up, so short sighted removing rail infrastructure I always think , once again thanks for great video and for your reply,

It's between Ruth, Ely and McGill Nevada. Starts near Ruth then heading East towards Ely. The 2nd part is heading North from Ely towards McGill.

Department of railroads

You should always ask for permission to ride from the owner of the railroad. I had permission from NNRY to ride here. Any railroad is private property.

Kansas Cowboy railriders.net I know the guy and he is really great. All made here

Brown and Newsome designed it themselves Only a billion each . Good one Bill .

Kinda but its faster

You gotta start somewhere... lol...

Bill Taylor yes and 65 billion dollars later

Yes it is a prototype. This will be all the money they can spend after rail construction.

Miguel Railriders.net

Trains used to ride on them many years ago, all across America.

Douglas Shrum i would suggest checking out railriders.net.
