I used to do this with my dad in his rail car. Probably the reason for not telling where they are is that it is illegal activity. No railroad owner is going to give a private rail car owner permission to use their abandon tracks. Too many safety issues, wash outs, tree falls, etc. It was great fun but very unsafe at times. There are clubs you can join that run these rails with permission and a hefty insurance policy.

What are those extra rails about on the trestle bridges? I would guess they are there to either strengthen the bridge or actually keep the train on the track in the event of a derailment. It is confusing as you sometimes see this on lines where mixed gauge rolling stock is deployed.

I'd bet that track is not abandoned. Dis-used or out of service, maybe, but probably not abandoned. The reason rail riding / biking is not very popular in Canada is because generally there is no where to legally do it. In Canada, if the rails are still in place, you would likely be trespassing on railway property (a much more serious offense than a misdemeanor, as in the USA). In Canada, abandoned rails are typically pulled up as soon as they are abandoned. Then the land ownership is transferred to the federal or local government or adjacent property owners. I know of a few possibly abandoned tracks that may exist in southern Ontario and Quebec, maybe. There was an unused CN track that went from Pukatawagan to Lynn Lake in Manitoba that hadn't seen a train since 2002, but I believe some local First Nations now own the property / track, if it is still there. It was still intact last time I was there, in 2010. One adventurous person / nutjob I heard about rode a quad down those tracks in the dead of winter. It took three days and many trees had to be chopped from the tracks. At least (most of) the black bears would have been sleeping. Finding intact abandoned track in the west is less likely than finding bigfoot bones.

Vancouver Island, province of British Columbia, west coast of Canada. The railway was originally built as the Esquimalt and Naniamo Railway in the late 1800's. The big bridge in the video was a used bridge - it came from the Canadian Pacific Railway at a site crossing the Fraser River at Cisco, on the mainland of British Columbia, and was moved to it's current location on the Island because it was replaced with a stronger bridge at Cisco.

Question, do you ever run into other rail kart enthusiasts? If so, is there a procedure for passing each other? Is it just helping each other lift a cart off and on the track? :)
@wingnutbert96855 ай бұрын
It's Canada. So there is the customary 5-10 minutes of exchanging of apologies back and forth. Followed by 20 mins of complimenting the other persons cart and belittling your own as a courtesy. 11 mins chatting about the weather. Then next is 7-13 minutes of exchanging insistence on helping each other lift their carts off the rails and past the other. Then the obligatory expression of hope to see again, possible chance run-in at Tim Horton's at some point or even an invite over for a craft beer and some Queen Elizabeth cake. Should be no more than an hour and a half or so to make the pass....roughly.... And that's on the fast-paced West Coast........if it was the East Coast...........................

There are a few old logging railroad lines in WA and OR that look very similar, though. And some of those are actually legally abandoned, so possibly not illegal to ride on them? I know a few abandoned tracks in MT, ID, and WA, but I'm not sure if it is legal to be on those tracks. In Canada, unless the rails have been removed and officially converted to a public trail, that is a hard NO.
