Exploring the old rail beds in New Hampshire that once had trains traveling down them makes for a great hike. These old tracks go back to the 1800s and it is amazing the way they built these lines all by hand, I am always looking for the signs of where people did things a long time ago. We walk through a couple of old farms where you can see many old rock walls. They blasted granite ledge out of the way and built huge Levys to keep the tracks flat. The remarkable things I find are the stonework granite tunnels that they would build under the railroad tracks. They were for water and livestock to be able to go under the railway. Massive cut granite way underground and some 100 feet long and you just have to see them. I also got a chance to test out the new Fenix PD36 Tac flashlight and it worked great.

I always enjoyed checking out land with my Dad. He loved to tell me about the old ways. Getting a metal detector and checking out old cellar holes was something he always wanted to do but never got too. He is gone now but everytime I get my metal detector in my hands I think of him.

What a wonderful walk, the birds singing, leaves gently rustling and water flowing through man made structures under the old railway bed plus of course the walls built before the railway. That was so relaxing Charlie and as you said you took us with you which I am very grateful for. I cant go out now but my eyes and mind are with you in your videos and I explore lands I have never been or seen before thanks to you sweetheart. The birds outside my window are still singing away so I have them lol. Good luck and happy hunting and hiking my friend God bless you and NinJen love and hugs to you both Mary-Ellen LFOD UK

We have one old,(now removed) rail bed near me. And, even though there is an abundance of iron along the way, there are also, "rest stops" the workers used during construction. They are tough to locate, but there are artifacts.

Here ,our narrow gauge railway system was discontinued back in the 70s...we now have a "trailway" system across the island. Amazing how people worked the landscape back in the day...mostly by hand! Your woods are just grand!

It always stirs my mind to think of the folks who worked on those walls, to the men who built those rail lines, to those who wrote the cars of the trains…life was as much their every breath as ours is today, while they are long in their graves. But their lives were as full of the sights, colors, smells and sounds then as ours today. The biggest difference…they were tough, rugged and working Americans building a nation. Truly, how many today ride and walk those trails and think of it as nothing but convenience of recreation!? I’m in strafford County but grew up in rockingham and remember when those trails, were still active rails. I think you’re in Cheshire county but the story is the same. You know the history of that area…like the early fortifications numbered sequentially by the British back before America was a republic. Love my state…family roots back to 1637 and what was once a family kings grant of a thousand acres…is all long since gone today. Areas that my family homesteaded, are today in the hands of folks who moved here and have no connection to my family at all. Sad to me…but that’s how life goes. Thanks for taking us along. Now…barded fence…the railroad often lined the sides of the rail beds to keep wind game and more hazardous, farm livestock, off the rail beds. Maybe what you found there?

I love these videos about old rail beds. When I was a very young boy I spent days walking and hiking old railway beds. Man do I miss those beds. There all gone to development today but every now and then you’ll see a small section that didn’t get torn out and brings back old memories. Thank you Charlie…

When it carries water from one side to the other it’s a culvert. They came through and straightened the old county blacktop from a winding track that went from farmhouse to farmhouse into straighter road that allowed vehicles to go a lot faster back when my little brother and I were in grade school. They put in 18” diameter concrete culverts under the new road. Brother and I played “army” constantly and crawled through those. I would not walk through one that was 6’ tall these days. Too claustrophobic.

Many times old rail lines were established originally along existing paths.Water flowing below the rail bed is a culvert.Perfect for metal detecting since it was original the grade.Have you ever checked out historical ariels.com? Shows older views of landscapes and older buildings that once may have stood there at one time.

Just like a Crime Scene; at 5:48 to 6:08! Notice the difference in mold from each different mega block; (some coated others spotless), [some white, some grey]; all stacked with huge gaps between them? 🤔 At least they didn't have to quarry them from hundreds of miles away; (just steal them from the Ancient Megalithic Structures)!
