I'm jealous! I worked in that area 8 years ago and traversed I-15 many times between Great Falls and Helena. That rail line was out of service back then and I had always wanted to make up a rail rider cart of some sort and travel the whole length. Awesome video.

@@glenturney4750 The kart has a 10hp B&S. The problem was the gearing. I've increased the gear to 8:1. I have a short vid showing that. The closest rail for us to test on is 6hrs away, so it's kinda 'hope for the best' whenever we take a run.

This is awesome! I'm from the area. My father in law was an engineer and used to run trains on that track back in the day! I've fished and hiked all over there between Great Falls and Helena. Know that whole area like the back of my hand! Back before the railroad was around there, used to be Native American trails through those canyons, then later used by settlers headed further West! I rode my bike from GFalls to Helena and then later ran the ~90miles between the towns! My favorite place in the whole world! Railkarting looks like a ton of fun! Great video!

We never get chance to do this in the UK. Usually as soon as a line closes the rails and sleeper get taken for scrap. If anyone did try the police would be straight after them, unlike when a house gets burgled or car stolen where you are just given a crime number over the phone for your insurance. Loved tagging along for the ride.

Your commentary along the way (at higher level Dove in after the fact) I like your home brew motorcar, it's your channels so you do what you need to do, my thought was if you had a good understandable commentary the trip experience for your subscribers would be enhanced.

Editing? It usually also concerns discovering a/v faults instead of just "placing" clips together. During editing, if SERIOUS audio faults - or in your case, almost total LACK of audio occurs, then editing should STOP. Do the video again (as in do the full rail-run again) with "fixed" equipment. Don't just give your audience a visual with stutteringly MISSING audio. That's just arrogant in the extreme. How the hell are we supposed to "know" what you said. From 8:07 to 10:16 the audio was either completely missing, or at best a complete garble of staccato blips and burps, with NOTHING legible at all !!!! After 10:17 you have several STATIONARY CAMERA (tripod & between rail clips) with FULL audio, until finally 11:04 your hand-held camera ACTUALLY STARTED recording audio ? OMG.. That was until you LH mic collapsed at 11:57 with the RH mic following shortly after at 12:04 & went back to crappy haphazard audio again. I'm thinking VIDEO HOLDER MAN, was putting his big thumb over the mic vents, eliminating most of the full-noise audio. There were a few bumps and rail noises, but zip all of anything else. I have given up watching this "so-called" edited crap, (at 12:34) as it wasn't edited, it was just strung along one clip after the other, with ZERO editing to ensure the audio was there.

@@QUIXNZ REALLY!!! My goodness. Why such criticism! This video was a fascinating ride through a rarely seen area. Mute the audio if you don't like it, and enjoy the visuals. . . In keeping with your practice of offering unsolicited information, I'll offer mine: I intentionally play most trekking and project completion videos at 2X speed, mute the audio, and slow things down, sometimes down to 1/4 speed, if there is something I am interested in the detail of. For example, I slowed my replay of the encounter with the fishermen down to normal speed, so I could listen to the exchanged conversation. . . Just a thought. . . You know, with all your editing skills, you could make the video play backwards, and make the audio play backwards too, and then we can all find out if @Rusty Rail Runner has any hidden messages somehow blended into all the '"so-called" edited crap" as you deemed it, just like the idiots did in playing the Beetles' music backwards. . .

Over in the UK, have watched some of your vids and it’s interesting to see the places you visit and go past. Hopefully you don’t get hassled by the police, I see comments about private property and stuff and don’t know the laws over there, some of the bridges and places you’ve been, don’t look like they’d hold up a full size loco never mind a full length train, doubt they’d ever be brought back into service due to the immense cost of getting them service ready otherwise they would have kept up the maintenance. Stay safe!

Really cool would love to do this would love to build one of my own love the way you built your cart nice comfortable seats with the motor behind you so you're not sucking up the fumes only have one concern your axle system needs some upgrading that front one is clearly wobbling bad just use much thicker Steel I know it's probably a cost issue but other than that it's awesome the only thing I would think about doing is putting some sort of rubber on the wheels so it's quieter and more traction but thinking it through I certainly wouldn't want to smell them if they started to burn that would be a mistake we're some investigation though don't you think or some super hard plastics you could have the machined like dolorin I'm sure that's not spelled correctly but you get my idea if you build stuff this think like the wheels on a roller coaster far you could even have one of those people who owns their own digital printer or 3D printer make the wheels just for more pleasurable ride either way too cool thanks a lot I really enjoyed it

Be careful everyone. This railroad is BNSF and is out of service, not abandoned. If you get busted on a motorcar trespassing, the consequences are NOT a slap on the wrist. Find somewhere else to run your machines.

that bent axle would drive me nutty. kinda wonder if part of a small innertube stretched tight over the wheels would cut down on noise a bit. id keep the gas engine and maybe add a hybrid option. it would be nice to have a quieter ride but with bears around it is a good idea to be noisy.

Assuming you came across an area that still has power going to crossing gates would this cart set them off?

No. These tracks are completely inactive.

How did you bend your axel? that must been a odd ride from then on. Is your rail cart gas or electric?, and did you meet any wild life along the way,? except the 2 fishermen. How long was this ride in total? I'm smiling, so happy that you shared this trip, I love the scenery and clackaty clack. Hope you do more trips, after you fix the axel... All my best

Ok a little confused. Is this rail line not in use anymore and if it is how is this legal?
