- Testing my Rail Cart for the first time in the Southern CA desert.

/ railcarts
It easily assembles and disassembles without any tools.
The reason for the design of this kart is...
I needed to be able to move it, by myself, around landslides, cave-ins, and locked gates.
I also needed to carry a heavy payload. Including a deep cycle battery, power inverter 5Gal water bottle, camping gear for days, climbing gear, etc.
I also wanted to carry multiple people.
Thanks again for commenting and watching. Don't forget to subscribe my friend!
I will be making some modifications after this first run.
I will also make an in-depth video of how I built it and what I used ( if there is enough interest)

Best, most closely detailed rail cart I have seen. Thank you. Excellent video work. I'm going to make this. Thank you also for the link to parts. Hope you post more on this project
Thanks, my man. Have you watched all the videos I have uploaded so far. I think there are about 6 or so. You'd especially like the one on, how I built it. I will be posting many more. Thanks for watching and subscribing
My man, Have you started your railcart yet?
14:40 thought he passed out at first lol
Im in gila bend az, planning on a building one lots of track out here
Awesome. I'll help you with any questions. Watch my, how i built it video. ruclips.net/video/3IqfejozuGs/видео.html
Back in the early '80s there were people who built motorized carts like this and ran them in Carrizo Gorge. Unfortunately they had no muffler so they were incredibly loud and scared off all the wildlife for miles around. Also, they had no lights, which was a real problem when they happened to catch my brother and me while we were hiking after dark across a long trestle that had no walkways. They couldn't see us, and because of the noisy engine they couldn't hear us either. We just barely avoided being knocked off the trestle.
I love seeing wildlife when I'm out hiking. That's why this cart has no engine. I get away from the city to get away from all the noise. Thanks for watching, sharing your story and subscribing
You are patient man and definitely brilliant. I would cheat and just use a trailer to transport cart then you'd have more riding time. Beautiful surroundings and the music was perfect.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Today, I will be posting a funny video of me de-railing when I was heading back, in the rain.
OMGAWD!!! You are a genius!!! AND the scenery is beautiful!
That's so cool! I've never seen a cart like this one
So, this is your way of the cardio? You won ))) Nice work
Ha,ha. Thanks my man. It's a lot fun and a great way to see the wildlife out there
@@pappysproductions my fun wouldn't last long if I try it on the local railway. You're lucky to have those all sorts of location.
Super chala bagundi ..
That's so cool!
I made one that flipped up and went into receiver hitch on my truck.
That sounds cool. Do you have any pictures or video?
I have hundreds of hours in hang gliders and ultralight. You guys are the railroad equivalent. Awesome.
I would love to do that!
Thanks for watching and subscribing, my man!
Bravo, beautiful video spun with wonderful ingenuity and sublime music as well as location. I'm assuming the Cabazon Ca area. Just wonderful.
Thank you very much, My Man!
That's actually near the town of Ocotillo. Just North of Mexico and the 8 freeway. The tracks leave the desert floor and emerge in Jacumba. Thanks so much for the nice comment, view and sub!
A man, a drone and a FoldingRailCart.................. all's good in the world!!🙂🙂!! (Very nice video too!)
Thank you very much Ron. I appreciate you. Thanks for watching and Subscribing, my man!
Amazing job, this was awesome
Thanks my man. It is SO MUCH fun!
Love the drone footage and the crossover music, ❤️
Thanks my man, I appreciate you
Wow! So cool bud. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching, my man.
@@pappysproductions yes sir!
Very cool! Looks fun!
Thanks my man, it's a lot of fun. Just took it out a few weeks ago with my son, who was on leave. It was his first time riding it. I posted the video
GREAT EFFORT.. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Thank you so much. I love making stuff like this
When I originally built the rail cart, I put a belt drive on it. I think the belt drive was slipping a little bit, so I wanted to try a chain. But now after trying the chain, I want the belt drive back and I would also like to add the l gear derailleur back on there. And yes I've considered an electric motor but that means I'd have to carry a heavy battery. And this is designed so I could carry my whole cart around the landslide, a cave-in or locked gate. So I don't want to be carrying a heavy battery.
Gran trabajo amigo...
Me diste la idea de recorrer todo México por las vías.
Ya te mandaré mi vídeo y veas mi trabajo.
Felicidades!!!
Impresionante mi amigo. Me alegra que te haya ayudado. No puedo esperar para ver tu video.
Gracias por mirar y suscribirse. Estas pistas van a México.

Thank you very much.
I really appreciate the positive comments.
Hello,
this portable version is very good idea. Good job :-)
Thank you very much.
Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE! A lot more videos are on the way.
Congrats.... I'm sure you will be making improvements as needed. If you start to have problems with you knees. I suggest you move your seat back 3-4 inches.... Good luck and happy viewing....
Thanks my man. I appreciate your suggestion and thanks for subscribing.
Great ingenuity on the build! Thanks so much for this! A bike flipped over driving a belt on a large flat platform... Perfect! I have this little idea in mind that I've yet to see, build a "Rider" similar to yours, but make it a licensed "utility trailer" that can be pulled to the starting point. Remove the trailer wheels and axle, stash them in the car and away we go. Leave the 3' long trailer tongue in place to use as a turnaround lever/camera mount.
Thank you so much for your compliment . I love your idea. I'd love to see that! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
I hope you build this! Any progress?
I've been researching building one if these and have come to the conclusion that the only way to do this is a completely human powered cart ! Motors run out of gas / break down , batteries go dead , depending on how far down the line you are (even if it's a mile) that's not gonna be fun to push it back to where you started ! Bringing extra parts for a setup like yours takes up very little room and the weight isn't an issue ! As of lately when i watch a cart video, even if it's other than human powered, i check out the building approach .... yours is the most practical yet ! Have you figured out a way to turn it around yet ? Great video and have fun !
Yes, I have figured out how to turn it around. I have a post that flips down. I just had to find Center weight area on the cart.
I love this build. I love how quiet it is. That way I still see big horn sheep 🐑 and other wildlife. I might purchase an E bike wheel kit to make it battery powered and peddle
good work out turning that contraption around geese what a maroon
Thank you for watching and all
your comments. I appreciate you. Your van is Awesome, my Man!
Unbelievable I love every moment of your presentation thanks man.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
@@pappysproductions The next time you are on a journey as this one take me with you 😁I can show you few wonders! thank you .
Great work🙂
Thank you much. It's been quite an adventure
That railroad looks very well-maintained to be "abandoned".
Over the years, without success, the San Diego rail road museum, has tried to repair and re-open the line for passenger rides. The line was recently sold to a new company, hoping to re-open the line for freight service
What is the name of the subdivision?
Good job fair
thank you so much
Very cool
Thank you so much Shannon!
Thank you for watching and subscribing
I'm still working on mine. I'm getting pretty close. I'm using a 7.5 hp engine with a torque converter. Depending on conditions, I might eventually add a mast and a sail.
Awesome sauce. I'd love to see some video of the progress
Be sure to put a muffler on it.
That looks like the old Keiser Steel line in Desert Center. It goes from the Salt N Sea area at the 86 all the way to the abandon Keiser Steel open pit mine, north of Desert Center, California. There is a portion of the line that has been washed out, going towards the 86.
I haven't been over there, but I'd like to check it out. This is near the town of Ocotillo where S2 meets the 8 freeway.
Check out the second video. I think it's better. Shows the tunnels and way more cool stuff. Thanks for watching, my man!

The rails on the Kaiser Railroad (AKA the Eagle Mountain railroad) have all been removed. This work was completed in 2018. Didn't want you to go all the way there and be disappointed.
Thank you very much for the update. I appreciate you
@@craul8459 I thought the tracks between Ferrum and just beyond the Salt Creek bridge were still in place, along with some stretches north of there past Summit to the I-10 bridge and maybe even a few scattered stretches up to Eagle Mountain. I read somewhere that the removal of the Salt Creek bridge was scheduled for 2020 but was delayed. Where did you see all the track was gone?
@@ChrisJones-gx7fc thanks for mentioning...I think you're right about some of the track still being there. I may be in that area next week and let you know what's there if I make it. I did see from a recent video that the salt creek bridge is still intact, including rail, according to the date on the video.
Rad cart
Love everything about it
Thanks my man, I really Appreciate it. Thank you for commenting and Subscribing
I love your handle, that's so cool
Jokes aside, that's a great set up you built for sure
Thank you so much. I really Appreciate you.
This is sick 👍👍👍
Thanks, my man.
Its a lot of fun too. Make sure you watch the second maiden run. A lot more scenery and cool stuff
Nice
Thanks, my man!
And for so many years, I thought "Wile E. Coyote" was just a cartoon.
Ha ha. Thanks for watching and subscribing, my man!
Well thought
Thank you
If I'm not mistaken, that is the old Kaiser Steel mine track. It goes from Desert Center to the 86 past Salt N Sea. You can make the whole run, but there are a couple of wash outs (one is about 50 yards long) which you will need to carry your cart over. It's well worth it. Just make sure you don't do it in the summer.
Why not do it in the summer?
You could. The desert gets up in the triple digits. I'd need a canopy
It's the former San Diego & Arizona line, near Ocotillo, CA. I know that area like the back of my hand.
Version 2.0 needs a motor and a Cooler of Beer!
ha ha yes. an electric motor would be quiet. I do enjoy peddling though.
Fantastic work, I've built something like this myself however I used crane wheels which seem to work okay but not great, may I ask where you got yours?
I bought them on ebay from burnzoil for $219.00.
9" ore cart wheels. They're cast Metal.ebay.to/3gSHCpv
Jaja jaja jaja jaja. Este síque es fanático. Bueno muy bueno.me gusta la idea.
Muchas gracias mi hombre! Gracias por mirar y suscribirse
U can also make it with a t lever as in old rail inspection cars ...or moving flywheel with fòot crank like in old sewingmachines
this is awesome i can honestly see something like this in fallout or mad max just a group quickly deploying something like this with like make shift armor a motor and a machine gun or something.
Thanks, my man. Did you watch all my other Cart videos? Maiden voyage 2 is really cool
@@pappysproductions not yet i will later but still nice work
Thank you
😲 uauuu! Show.
✌
Awesome setup. Too bad this line was already scrapped and had the rails pulled up. Not too many places to do this without running into either railroad cops, or someone snitching you out anonymously. In the US, it's all about "protecting and serving the fuck out of you".
As far as legal spots to do this, there's a couple of abandoned rail lines that have been turned into "rail-biking" tour spots. I don't know how they'd feel about you using your own rig though. With the countless spurs and branchlines going into abandonment, it would be an awesome idea to buy it out, keep the rails in, and turn it into an actual, MUP path. Hike, bike, horse, and now rail bike!!
Great video. Thank you. I have been looking at similar videos re the building of a rail cart and i found this very useful. I live down-under in Australia and i would like to know where you guys get your flanged wheels from?
Awesome. There are links to the wheels in the description. Thanks for watching. Im very drawn to Australia
I'm in Tampa Florida today, anyone know of any abandoned rail tracks within 2 hours???
Thanks
as a child i use to walk the tracks to school. my favorite time of day. i will try and build something more basic andless parts. maybe with a e bike. im 65 not into peddling. his is good but to much jacking around for me at 65
We would love to see your build progress. Thanks for watching and subscribing, my man!
Great drone shots !!! How many speeds was the bicycle originally ?? Did you actually change gears while riding ?? What gears were you in during the ride ??
Very ingenious belt drive arrangement. Congrats on your minimalist construction.
Thanks, my Man! Yes, I was able to shift while riding. I don't remember what gear I was in or how many gears that bike has. If I was home, I'd go out to the garage and count them. I'm in Tampa Florida right now ( do you know of any abandoned tracks out here?) The derailleur was not working properly, so I took it off. I also switched to chain drive since this video but would like to try a 16" wheel and belt. the 26" required too much torque when traveling uphill. Thanks for watching and subscribing, My MAN!
Compliments for the real engineering challenge.........
Thank you, so much!
I recon you and James May could run an great video channel on faffing about pointlessly.
Perhaps you had a pint or 2 with the lads down at the pub, did ya?
I have no idea what your trying to convey here, or what your talking about, but thanks for watching, I appreciate it.
@@pappysproductions No pub, no drinking too expensive. James May has made a small fortune from his ocd faffing about so don't knock it, We should all celebrate our disabilities rather than allow them to trouble us into old age. The world would be a far happier place.
@@davidprocter3578 I still don't know who or what you are talking about.
Subscribed! I love how you just took the tire off of the bike wheel so you could could run the eve belt off of it, pure genius! How much do you think the whole car weighs?
Thanks, my man! The 26" wheel ended up being a lil too hard to peddle. I ended up switching to a chain and sprocket and took off the derailer. I'd say it weighs about 75-100 lbs.
UPDATE: 146 lbs/66.22kg
Did you see the second run?
Watch "Folding Rail Cart 2nd run (Carrizo Gorge)" on RUclips
ruclips.net/video/FUHBAYPEyaI/видео.html
@@pappysproductions i watched your vidio and it seemed about 1 to 1 ratio. not surprised you changed the gearing. but still cool build.
To celebrate reaching 1000 SUBSCRIBERS, I'll be giving away a set of wheels!!! To enter, subscribe, like and comment!
Where did you get the wheels???
I would put a better seat post in the goose neck
I'm considering using inflated tires on a fix frame, type sold at harbor freight, adding spring loaded side wheels to keep aligned on track. Get all wheels for under 100 dollars. Drive a single or even both with a drop down axle with its own tire/tires if both sides are driven.
Now that I've had a day to ponder the spring loaded side wheels I realized that if you come to a crossing there will be no clearance for the wheels. Oops! Oh well better to have thought about it than not at all! Maybe the side wheel could work if it was narrow
Ike 1-2" and riding at a 45° angle to get clearance from the obstructions when going through road crossings?
@@magicone9327
I think the cart wheels are the easiest. Did you price them on Ebay, thru the link in the description?
These carts take a lot of thinking.
pappys productions yes I followed the link, but it was to the sale of your wheels, the sale had ended, no info from that seller on additional wheels, I did find others though. Yes it's starting to look like I shouldn't be reinventing the wheel! LoL
Well that looked easy…
The build?.... a lot of thinking, MacGyvering and figuring. Cutting the mtn bike frame and making an angled post to fit the angle of the cut on the frame. I wish i had videoed all that. Thank u for watching and subscribing my man!
Be cool to see this with a "Lectric" bike which uses pedal assist power for any up hill grades you might encounter...
Yes it would. I may add one later.
I have seen foldable carts as in Philippines people use it as public transport it has a small gas engine and removable deck with some crude wooden bench ..set of two detachable wheels a pully n belt.... do check it out for more practical n fast to assemble rail car....surely it will be very helpful to u ....assemble n disassemble in breeze..👍🏽👍🏽
Yes, those videos were very inspirational to me and my build. Remember, my cart is designed to be moved and transported by ONE person... Me!
Watch my second maiden cart video. I had to get by 2 locked tunnel gates. Had my pieces not fit under, I would have had to hike everything around the mountain.
i see the wind generators work as good as your contraption lol
This super cool, where did you go to do this? I’ve always wanted to try but never knew how to build such a machine.
Thanks, my man. This was near the town of Ocotillo in southern California. Google "The Impossible Railroad " very fascinating.
John D. Spreckles built it.
Could you please tell me how and where you got the stuff to make this, especially the little train wheels.
@crazy train conner
Did you watch this video?
ruclips.net/video/3IqfejozuGs/видео.html
I put a link to the wheels, in the description. Thank you for watching and subscribe if you haven't already, thanks!!!
Thanks for telling the general location. I wish more RUclipsrs would provide practical information like location, time, etc.
Did you contact the track owners for permission?
Where did you get those special wheels?
I did not seek out permission. I've been hiking and biking out there for over 20 years. Never saw anyone but other hikers. There's a link in the description to where I purchased the wheels. Thanks for watching and subscribing my man!
Very cool video pappys productions! What happens if the track is obstructed with debris or the track is wrecked? Do you disassemble the cart and move it around the obstruction?
Thank you so much. Yes, that is exactly what I do and exactly why I designed this Kart this way. In this video, ruclips.net/video/FUHBAYPEyaI/видео.html
There are 2 consecutive locked gates that required me to disassemble the Kart and re assemble it. Further down the line are cave ins, land slides and other obstacles. I've been going out here for over 20 years. Wish I would have built the kart a long time ago. Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you haven't already, thanks!!!
Very nice setup!.Thoroughly sandpapering the wood would lower the chance of encountering another splinter in the future..
Ha ha, thanks for the tip, my man! You cracked me up.
If you could make in depth video on how to make it and what materials you used to make it that would be helpful for a project I’m working on
That would make a good video to celebrate when I reach 100 subscribers! Did you subscribe, my man? Thanks!

This is the san Diego and Arizona eastern railroad. This railroad will soon be reactivated. That's why part of the track in the thumbnail looks so new, They are going to run trains here again.
As of January 2018, Baja California Railroad was assessing the line before beginning repairs to allow it to return to operation.
This looks to me as newly built railroad but in 19th century fashion, low quality just like for a movie set, not for real trains. That track could only handle very light and slow trains, if any...
That thing needs a Sail on it for power there.
That would be fun with tires too cruise across the 🏜
Why Don"t people treat their dogs and kitty's with love and understanding poor ANIMALS with Love and careing

Getting ready to build . I know the track spacing is 4' 8 1/2" ,how wide did you space your wheels from flange to flange ?
Dang it, I don't remember.
That distance is adjustable on my axles. I have a 1/4" set screw on each wheel so I can adjust the spacing as needed. I did have to adjust the spacing to clear narrow parts and not derail on the wide parts. I later added wheel hubs to increase my wheel width. ruclips.net/video/VUqj-MaJiEg/видео.htmlsi=JcwBtKCE8vyDIUE3

I'm thinking about making some aluminum wheels on the lathe. Has anyone had any experience with aluminum wheels on tracks?
I would like to know too
It would need a steel tyre on them in the same way a railway rolling stock wheel needs a steel tyre on the softer wheel metal. Aluminium would wear out quite fast.
@@geraldlrstubbs thank you
@@geraldlrstubbs I don't think he'd ride that much to have aluminium wheels wear out that fast. Besides cart itself is quite light. However, using aluminium instead of steel wheels would make the cart even lighter and easier to carry around.
Whatever wheels you choose to use, try to get or make them in conical shape. Conical shape will reduce wear and rolling resistance, increase stability and reduce chance of derailment. Wheel flanges should never (or very rarely) touch the rails.
Hi, Wonderful kart! I plan to make and drive one such. May be with an electric or petrol motor. Wanted to know if we need any special license/law to do this?
Hi Atharva, I haven't heard of needing any permits or any laws regarding riding abandoned rails.

Can you tell us more about the drone you are using?
Hi John, thank you for subscribing!
The drone I use is DJI Spark with a remote.
It uses WiFi to my phone. It is a great drone. The body is smaller than my Samsung galaxy s7.
I also use an Samsung tablet to fly the drone. This drone has active track to follow you, tripod mode for super smooth flying, sport mode for super fast flying and a handful of other modes. Great drone. I'll put a link in the description for the drone and tablet. Thanks again for subscribing, my man!
It seems that there isn't a need for the heads on the bolts. Cut them off and use larger diameter pin. Hole lot easier putting it together. Just a thought. Where did ya get the wheels as that seems to be very expensive when putting one of these together. I've looked into polyurethane covered steel core but ones that support 1000 lbs are way too much money.
Never thought about cutting off the heads, but I think you're right. It would speed up my assembly.
The wheel link is in the description.
where did you get the train like wheels?
I found them on ebay
@@pappysproductions what where they called, I want to try this for myself.
@@RealTodFox have you subscribed to my channel?
I bet you were pedaling like a locomotive trying to get out of there,,lol . Iv always wanted to build something like that but with a small motor
Thanks my man,
I thought about an electric Motor I may still do it.
However, I love pedaling for it's quietness and going slow to take in all the beauty and wildlife of the desert. I've been going out there for over 20 years. I love it

Hi Wendi.
Watch this video. You will see the chain to the axle, more easily. ruclips.net/video/U0vojAPc_Gg/видео.html
I don't need to peddle when going down hill. Actually, it goes quite fast... to fast, without the brake. Thank you for watching, and thank you for your question. Thank you for subscribing!!!
How come we saw what looked like a bicycle chain ring sprocket at one point and at another point we see the belt drive pulls. Have you considered making a gas or electric motor rail cart..
When I originally built the rail cart, I put a belt drive on it. I think the belt drive was slipping a little bit, so I wanted to try a chain. But now after trying the chain, I want the belt drive back and I would also like to add the l gear derailleur back on there. And yes I've considered an electric motor but that means I'd have to carry a heavy battery. And this is designed so I could carry my whole cart around the landslide, a cave-in or locked gate. So I don't want to be carrying a heavy battery.
pappys productions got it
I have one question. Brakes?
I believe I had the orginal bicycle brakes on this Version. Now i have this...
ruclips.net/video/9oiCgtzmPhE/видео.html
Here is the entire video.
I widened the contact surface of the wheels with wooden hubs to adapt to the varying rail width and prevent de-rails
ruclips.net/video/VUqj-MaJiEg/видео.html
There is a big weight difference between that and a tricycle...
Yes, I think in most cases that would be correct. However, I'm not seeing the context of this comment. Were you trying to reply to another comment?
@@pappysproductions No, it is just that I have seen some bicycles fitted with a guide on the front wheel and an 'a' frame to make an outrigger which probably weigh less than 10Kg and take under ten minutes to set up. Your outfit does not seem to do more than them but is substantially heavier and more cumbersome. Is there a reason that you needed a large, flat platform ?
@Gerald Stubbs yes, If you read the description below the video. You'll see I explained why I needed this specific design. Also, check out my 2nd maiden voyage video. I like that one more. Thanks for watching and Subscribing, my man!
Are you still riding the trails?
Not presently, but i do have a lot more footage to upload. I recently moved to florida. I need to find tracks out here.
It looks awkward in use....the position you sit in. Is it?
It is comfortable
@@pappysproductions cool.....
It needs a mounted turkey baster
I'll add that to second build. Good thinking.
Not crazy about the music but that rail cart looks like fun.
Super fun!
What is the weight of one individual wheel all by itself?
Each wheel weighs about 12lbs
ruclips.net/video/3IqfejozuGs/видео.html
Watch this video and read the description for more info on the build
@@pappysproductions Thank you, I built mine small enough to fit like a back pack with telecoping axles, gas bike engine, just need to get the right weight wheels to make it light enough to travel with. Those wheels are a good deal, but I think I will end up having to machine aluminum hubs with a steel ring on the outside.
That sounds awesome. Do you have videos of your cart?
I want to do this
David, It is SO MUCH fun. Do it!
