- Here I upload the video before and after the EMRR I had to edit it again, I also took advantage of adding more content to the video ,
Starting the tour in Ferrum CA. exchange with the UP. Yuma division and the banks of the salton sea to the aqueduct and the old channel of coachela today without water.
The last 10 miles of the 51 that the Kaiser Steel Private Iron Ore Transportation Railroad, better known as the Eagle Mountain Railroad, had in its entirety, were removed. Built in 1947-1948 and used until March 1986, date that also closed the foundry located in Fontana CA where it is now the California Speedway racing in Fontana CA. In April 2017 a railway materials company began to remove the track working from Eagle Mountain to Ferrum. By 2023 the removal will be complete. that day arrived!!! and the Eagle Mountain RR is already a legend!! . I was able to go through it and film it countless times, not its 51 miles that I had but about 25 miles in my Railcart (LittleFox). since passing the salt creek bridge, there were many missing tracks due to the lack of maintenance in their drainages. but those routes were completed in my subaru outback in a word, i know it from end to end. I made this video in April 2023 where there is nothing left and mixing some footage with the railcart. There is also a lot of information about this railway and its city or turned into a ghost town (Eagle Mountain ghosh town) on the internet, I recommend it, it is very interesting! until the next adventure!
You have recorded history for future generations and for the living to see. What you did here is far more important than many things. You are part of an elite group that have traveled these rails that men sweat and possibly died making this railway. Now it is but a memory like so many things, and it is a good memory, thank you.
It still makes for a great recreational road trip its also good that the majority of bridge,s are still in working order thanks for showing 👍
Sadly, that railroad, just like all the secondary mains and branches we had of the old Santa Fe here in the central valley, finally came to an end. History forever gone.
This is a real shame. One day the authorities will regret it. Here in England there were huge closures in the 1960s. One third of the network closed and track ripped up. Now we're trying to reopen some of these lines at huge cost!
I'm interested in railroad history. I've been looking at those old Santa Fe and SP lines recently. You can find them using Google Maps. Many of the old rights-of-way still exist so they could be rebuilt should the need arise. I would imagine that they passed to the San Joaquin Valley Railroad based in Exeter when the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe sold those lines off.
@@kenster865 there's a couple shortlines that took over the sold off routes. The CFNR (California Northern Railroad) took over a good portion of the West Side Line (the first SP Norcal-Socal line through the Central Valley before the Fresno sub) and the SJVR took over the Southern half but before that happened SP split the line between the two railroads. The CFNR operates that portion from Tracy to Los Banos. The SJVR operates on mostly old SP branchlines (100's of miles of it) from and around Fresno and Bakersfield. Almost all of the other branchlines are wiped clean (except for ROWs and some remnants) like the Oakdale Branch (SP), Visalia Line (ATSF), Porterville District/Branch (ATSF), and the Strathmore Line (SP). Essentially, at different points from the late 60's and beyond, the two railroads abandoned or sold off all of their branches and routes that East and West of their mainlines (the mainlines being the Fresno Sub (SP), Stockton Sub (ATSF) and Mojave Subs (Both) due to many reasons from the line being a less used route to the industry on those lines dying off. From there, these shortlines abandoned portions of those routes and now many of the ROWs/roadbeds are most likely going to be turned into trails, as many have already. The Sierra railroad operates a tiny portion of the old SP Oakdale branch (partially because they used to interchange there before it was abandoned).
There is no one left in the UK public sector with vision, they are just managing decline, wasting public money on bureaucracy.
Closing a railroad is sad, building on the trackbed is a crime against the hard work of past generations and to the detriment of future generations WHO WILL NEED LEVEL GROUND TO CONNECT PLACES whatever the form of ground transportation in the future. Shortsightedness of 2 generations. @@ds1868
This is now the most depressing video on RUclips! RIP EMRR 😭
Sad!
Can you imagine the amount of work and engineering that went into laying that RR line. WHYYYY take it out??? thats stupid!!!
That line could have had so many other uses.
It's such a shame the rails were removed, but they are the property of the RR company and scrap steel prices have gone through the roof! So they sell it and help their bottom line! RR tracks are a huge capital investment to carry heavy industrial freight engines. Too bad they had to go! I'm so glad we have these videos to see how cool it was to glide across the desert on rails! Thank you very much for these fun videos!
It's just not the same in a Subaru as riding on the rails in Little Fox, I suppose. 😪 You have done an amazing job of documenting this historic railroad!! Great job editing the videos together! You have gained a new subscriber.
This is a great video. It's awesome you got to experience the railroad before it was ripped up. I have several pics and videos of now abandoned and ripped up rail lines when they were still in operation.
I'm going to miss your trips, with Little Fox, on the EMRR. Sad ending to the wonderful adventures you gave us
Rails to trails needs to be regulated. Here in Connecticut they took up tracks they had no business touching. Now there's a court case
Yes, if one circulates on active tracks you will surely get into trouble.
@@archiemoreno Supongo que como en Argentina,
el caso se encuadra en "Delito Federal" circular por las vias activas.
O en EEUU, supongo, podra ser visto como usurpacion de Propiedad Privada.
Saludos...!!
The steel was valuable and was scrapped out. Ditto for the ties. They made good money ripping out the line. Glad you got to ride it while it was there.😎
Qué lástima! Cuanto trabajo habria costado hacer esa linea para finalmente desmantelarse! Siempre me han gustado las vías y ya veo que hay alguien que lleva su pasión a la realidad! Gracias por documentarlo y entretenernos!!!
An excellent video and very well put together.
que tristeza mas absoluta! gracias por documentar el antes y el después.
Que lástima! Me gustaban las vias abandonadas! Qué suerte que Ud.s hicieron a tiempo a documentar lo qye ahora es un pasado perdido para siempre
La verdad yo si me siento triste no pude llevar mi nuevo proyecto a fina lixae. Ahora tendré que viajar más lejos. Tengo la suerte de haber hecho mis videos en estas vías.
6:30 perfect song for this (Phil Collins: do you remember).
grandes tus videos me encantan saludos desde barcelona
Una pena. Le podían haber dado un uso turístico y organizar viajes para todo el que quisiera ir. Un bonito recorrido que a mucha gente seguro que le hubiera gustado hacer y habría sido mucho más beneficioso que arrancar las vías y venderlas como chatarra.
Abandoned railroads should never be torn out. I had one near my house 30 years ago that they were going to use for tourism and possibly a route to a theme park from a major San Joaquin Valley city all the way up to a nice foothill town at a length of about 40 miles. There were many talks of what it could be used for, but none of it materialized. Such a shame. There's always good use for old abandoned railroad routes. Hindsight is terrible.
todo quedo en un bonito recuerdo. ♥
So sweet very nice 👍👍👍👍👍
Increíble y nostalgia a la vez, por lo menos se lograron esas travesías tan hermosas llenas de emoción y algo de adrenalina, este video documenta y complementa una buena referencia de esta histórica ruta ferroviaria felicidades por el logro y adelante, saludos desde El Paso.
Fantastic video; many thanks for recording the before and after.
Очень интересные видео, спасибо!
De nada!!!
It seems they wanted to convert the tracks to a road.
They needed steel, probably due to war in Ukraine. Otherwise they would of dumped it along with railroad ties.
Sad that the rail was removed.
Good job friend👏👏👏
Muito Obrigado por ter feito belos vídeos da EMRR.
Muchas gracias amigo , vien echo👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Классно интересно ролик.История железная дорога реальный 👍👌.Зачем убрать железная дорога жалко 😥Классно ролик 💯👏👍👌
I'm fighting back the tears. So sad :(
Realmente que asi es... 😕
This is wonderful. Such a shame they took it away though, you may be the last person to ride this RR.
Good fun while it lasted!
Plenty more tracks to explore in the US I should think, unlike here in the UK.
I’d think they actually used the rail tracks to carry the line away they pulled up, ironic really.
Muy bueno el video mi amigo.....
Gracias
Me siento triste de ver como finalizó el trabajo que comenzaron en eagle montain, ya se venía venir cuando levantaron todo hasta llegar al canal de cochela. Me gano el tiempo y no pude tener a tiempo mi raíl kart. Ahora todo queda más lejos Hemet ca. Carrizo gorge dos cabezas, campo, Arizona y nevada quedan todavia, saludos a los creadores de este canal.
Si voy a empezar a recorrer varios estados en busca de vias abandonadas!!!
@@archiemoreno Al igual que todos,
a mi, me resulto el video mas triste
de los ultimos meses.
Pero realmente repone mucho mi animo
sabiendo que Little Fox, junto a Archie & Co.
continuaran buscando nuevos rieles.
LES DESEO LA MEJOR SUERTE,
MIENTRAS SEGUIMOS ESPERANDO
NUEVOS VIDEOS...💪
Un Fuerte Abrazo...!! 🇦🇷🕊️
🚧================🚉
I feel bad that you’re losing your love. May I suggest the Chocolate Mountains R/R? If you go, Im sure you’ll video it
You were the last one riding it❤
Que lástima, triste saber que em vários lugares do mundo estão retirando as ferrovias 😢
It is sad to see how all that "human work" disappears. And sad for the content of this channel.
Greetings from Uruguay
For a line that had not seen a train since 1986, it seemed to be in remarkable condition. Much of the track didn't look that old.
Lovely Salton Sea 🌊 💙
Muy buen trabajo! Saludos de un Rosarino.
BIEN...!!
Somos dos.☝️
Saludos...!!
Vamos hombre 😊😊😊😊
Nice. New subscriber.
Thank you!!
I'm surprised the USAF didn't confront you when you were touring the area. I believe they have a testing range out near there.
planes passed over me many times. many signs saying that there are live munitions. saying be careful.
@@archiemoreno my brother was an E9 in the Air Force, and he knew I used to like to go railfanning on the Santa Fe out near North Edwards. So he would always tell me to not go further south than the railroad property, or any further north of the 58 because they have both armed patrols, and landmines. He would tell me "You're better off explaining your presence to the Sheriff, or a railroad detective, than you are to God"
Míralo por este lado: tus vídeos ahora son el último, y casi me atrevería a decir único, documento gráfico que queda.
When the 3rd world is seen beginning to invest in railroads as an effective alternative to highways and cars, here in the US we see quite the reverse. Strange, your country.
Sad to see the rails gone- just to supposedly earn something to add to the petty cash.
true. I believe they needed steel in particular. Considering price of steel went up,. and RUssia has responded to sanctions, has banned steel sale to US. So now US is trying to scrap up steel wherever it can find.
Ten moment, kiedy cywilizacja zaciera po sobie ślady...
Класно👍
Phil Collins at 06:30, great singer, sad video.
That's too bad it's kind of nice view looks like fun
this sucks they took out the railroad shoulda kept it up as a monument of sorts im wondering how much abandoned rail there is left in the state since they keep removing so much of it pretty soon youll have to goto other states and archive their abandoned rail roads before they get torn down
Time for the side by side... wahoo!
Muy bueno y interesante video! El tren es no mas! Muy malo! Was I close?
Very sad.
Beautiful Mexico I like your vlog
Ahora lo hacés en auto con bocina de tren , siempre peligroso.😊
Jajajajajajaj
I guest is over for the cart
They are preparing this railroad for high speed trains like MAGLEV that will come to USA in 2122
Someone must really despise seeing people having fun on their spare time...
Ya había un loco en el desierto, luego viene otro corriendo kkkkkk
Que triste
Che tristezza! Un saluto
Jajajajaj que loco todo, que porrazo que se dieron cuando descarrilaron
Жалко, обидно что всё разобрали
А я хотел собрать дрезину чтобы тоже с другом поехать там покататься. Вот свинство.
You have made scrap dealers aware of this through your videos. The dealers did a good business.
Asi es. 💰💰💰
Como tambien,
"la ambicion mata al hombre..."
Are there other routes like this in SoCal tha still exist???
San Jacinto - Winchester
But be ready to see allot of shrubs there.
Dự án đường sắt mới OK
I’m sure that line needed much repair to keep it safe. Probably too costly to do that. This is most likely the most productive alternative.
Interesing- who would keep up the abandoned railroad safe and repaird? It's abandoned! They needed steel!
ties and gravel help stave off railbed errosion. wonder how long the road will last
Se me hace demasiado extraño que esas vías han estado abandonadas por años, tú hiciste videos en vías abandonadas de los Estados Unidos y las quitaron...............
Bye little fox!
wow, whoever would rather spend the money to remove all that hardware than to have you keep making cool historical vids 🤨😆
Looks like steel got valuable in price since US got sanctions on Russia and China - now we don't get affordable steel from them in response. So they are trying to scrape up whatever steel they can get off abandoned railroads and junk.
I think, you will need different countries to explore with your little fox
. mostly in mountain the Railway Track condition same
Всему приходит конец.
That’s sad
ERIOUSLY!?!?! Those greedy assholes completely stripped the Eagle Mountain track???? This is ridiculous! Why ruin all the fun for people that used that track? What is that?? Sudden shortage in steel, due to Urkaine war or what? I was planning to make a railcart or rail bike and experience this railroad route to go with a friend.
que maldad que tienen 😢
Are they gonna put a new railroad in?
No more!!!😢😢
You’re gonna have to find a new railroad.
@@csxtraincountingrailfan4452 oh yes!!!!There are many abandoned tracks in many places. But this one is very close to where I live.
Now you can go railfaning probably in a couple years.
I'm Indian 😊
Why did they remove the rail?
It reminds me gta5 😢❤
So, who removed the tracks? Seems like much hard work if not done with some kind of hydraulic machine.
The steel probably free in exchange of labor removing it. Also, the steel probably went to China👎. I'm sad because I worked there from '74- '82. I used to work overtime if they needed help at the locomotive shop.
If they don't tear out the bridges, maybe this will be a bicycle path.
Riding bycicle over gravel is kinda boggy,
Is that private property or government property now?
...........Mais um sonho abortado.........pobres trilhos filhos.....Aqui jaz uma alegria..........Assim morrem as alegrias e os sonhos de um homem crianca feliz..........
But why? It din't bother anybody??😢
Steel is in short supply I guess. Plus they need to make millions upon milions if artillery shells. Might be a reason.
Somebody stole the steel rails?
Let me guess... Rails to trails
I can’t help to wonder what does the rail road company do with the many tons of old railroad ties?
Nothing. They are useless for new track or any reinforcement. Some are being sold in Home Depot pretty expensive for gardening decoration.
America has been so poorly managed the last 50 years, that now scrap rail is a lucrative business
This is crazy...
好可惜喔，鐵軌已經拆除了，已經沒有可以玩樂
Scrappers probably stole the tracks for scrap metal.
Masakra
It was removed because of your channel.
You were bringing too much attention to rail owned by a company where dumbasses could get hurt and sue said company.
No hate brother. Its just how it is these days and i appreciate how you showed it to me before it was removed forever.
There are several channels that videoed this railroad.
My question is what’s going to happen to all you rail speeders with no tracks to ride on.was all that time and money invested in building one was wasted?..are there other rails to ride on?????
Would go to other states, where track still exist.
OK cancel ca ma ron OK cancel
