Railcart ride up the San Diego and Arizona Eastern Railway to the Goat Canyon Trestle. We passed through several tunnels along the way.
This ride was on my home built railcart. It's a hobby of mine to ride on abandoned railroads. I mostly ride in Southern California and Mexico.

What is happening in America is a gradual economic Richotte from overly aggressive and forced dependance on hiways and Freeways for everything. This ripping up rail routes has ended in America but the pendulum takes decades to swing back. These west- east routes are going to be needed again. It will take time but we are seeing the shipping meltdown in the Panama Canal and the vulnerability of the Suez canal. Look to the recent buy back of the BNSF paying HUNDERDS OF MILLIONS of Dollars in penalties to take back The Montana Rail Link.

That so much of this railroad, in this climate and without maintenance, is still traversable is a testament to those who built it,

In 1977 my friend Paul and I Backpacked the entire length down to Octillio... I see nothing much has Changed the Railroad Cars are still there.. We did locate an unknown herd of Desert Big Horn who were visiting the first tunnel right after the Trestle.. In 1978 we Backpacked Carrizo Gorge out to S-2. My Dad and I also had Mining Claims in the area and found a number of Quartz and Tourmiline Crystals.. Good Memories. Thanks for sharing...

Fantastic bit of filming. Wish we had this opportunity in the UK but we just tare all our old lines up 😳 thanks for posting 🤟

@herbert92x

Without real money and re-design, that line is done.

Cameraman not getting enough recognition.

Is it possible to have backup by road?

@jebaranidavid2217

Appreciations to the engineers who have designed and built those tunnels.

@cobalfrostwyrm

This is like, the American version of British narrowboat canal touring.

You need to bring a long pry bar along to move rocks

@westcoastsyndrome

Unreal tunnels... Really beautifully designed and built

@shootfirst2097

Imagine how quiet and peaceful it is way out there... away from the sounds of the city, etc

The tunnels are really superbly built, as if they had only been opened yesterday. Bridges too. TY 4 VID

@Nikkymomo

This is great, it is so relaxing to watch these videos. I love what you do.

I enjoyed the tranquility of this ride even from my KZfaq arm chair. That would be a very cool desert adventure. Like being on an old steam train of old.
