Pretty cool to see a small piece of that line still there after all of these years for people like us to see. 😄It's very interesting to see a tree growing around the tracks like that.
Yes sir, it's almost as if that tree is trying to anchor down the rails so no one can take them. Thanks as always for the support my friend. Hope you have a great week!
Good eye! Yes, this is the only place I've ever seen that. It's like the trees are hugging the rail and don't want it to go. Thanks as always for the views and comments, KC!
If it makes you feel any better, that sign has already been there for a few years and nothing has happened. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Arlington!
Really nice seen history of railroad!!!! I have seen old track to a paper mill that hasent been used in over 100 years!!! Would love to seen what that was like. Great video!!! Keep history alive.
That paper mill is in Oconto falls wi. Last I heard is the is still stuff in the river it went over to get to the mill. Also I just remembered that my aunt and uncle has place on a lake that u can c the old wood pole the held up a railroad bridge and u can pull up old coal from lake bed too.
Why are old, abandoned ROW's so interesting? I grew up near an abandoned ROW on the Long Island Rail Road in Mineola/Garden City, and remember a few places where the tracks used to exist. Today, almost all of the abandoned track has been removed. The abandoned ROW's look like scars on Google Earth. Even when the tracks are gone, many ROW's are identifiable from above. Always intriguing. 😎😎
Great minds think alike! Trains are fun to look at, but I rather explore an abandoned railroad any day. One can only imagine the stories they could tell and all the history behind them. Thanks as always for the support of my channel, Tom!
I currently have a pet project on tracing abandoned Railroad Right of Ways in the Mid-South and South-Eastern US (I have been focused on the mostly in Mississippi as a certain bankrupt Fallen Flag that closed it’s doors in 1980 has been revived since 2017. For those who wonder what company I am talking about, The Rock Island is Back with three railroads in the Mississippi Delta (which might get flooded soon unfortunately). Their most recent acquisition is the Midland Railway in Kansas which has since been renamed the Ottawa Northern Railway. They now go by Rock Island Rail and the only reason the revival happened is because nobody bought the rights to the name and logos after the bankruptcy. Not too long ago someone suggested they purchase a locomotive from Union Pacific and Patch it for the new Rock Island (for those who know rail history will laugh at this). Though, it will look out of place in their well kept Bankruptcy scheme (now called reborn Blue) painted locomotives and the the one pre bankruptcy paint scheme on a C42-8 (yes they have a dash 8).
@@railrol82 I thank you for this vital service Railrol! If you look through the years and in public records, you can see that they could have not only double tracked the entire Ludlam corridor and the line all the way to Florida City and have money left over for getting the track all the way to Key Largo. These politicians will huff and puff about the noisy polluting trains, but they will think nothing of destroying thousands of acres to put through a multi lane expressway! They will always highball train expenses and lowball highway expenses. They insult anyone who questions their math. The real cost and impact of an SR 836 extension along with an equally disastrous SR 874 extension is much greater than the restoration of the rail line on the FEC corridor from Oleander to Florida City AND the restoration of the SCL from the Metro Zoo area to Homestead, including the restoration of the Wye and actually getting a connection between the two lines. Even with the horrendous condition of the SCL line, it would still cost less than it cost to rebuild the interchange between the Dolphin Expressway and the Palmetto Expressway, which they admit cost more than 650 million dollars to rebuild all on its own. With land acquisition costs, an interchange between the extended Dolphin and Don Shula Expressways would likely top this will also be an all new interchange. Development and induced demand will make these new highways obsolete in short order. But lobbyists dollars really speak loudly.
It is people like you that gets these little pieces of history noticed and not forgotten. I must admit I had to look twice at the rail through the tree!
I actually drove by here Sunday on my way through to the north and hadn’t seen the video yet, just missed you by a day! The old trestle just to the north on US-1 under the metro rail is neat too.
I like your attention to detail, Joey! Yes, that trestle you mentioned is between Taco Bell and SW 80th ST. It's the only remnant parallel to US1. Thanks as always for the support of my channel!
Wish the old day were back, when I worked in Dadeland Mall you could stand outside the JC penny store and see the trains go by crossing Kendall Dr the gates would come down and have traffic backed up to the Expressway. What great times!
You taught me something new. When I used to go around that area, 1988-1990 the gates were already gone and it was just cantilevers : / Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Doug!
Nice to see you wearing sturdy shoes and not flip-flops, Roly! But it’s sad to see that this land is up for grabs-it makes me worry that this last piece of railroad history will disappear into the history books themselves. But the way the trees lifted the rails right off the ground like that is wild-it’s practically levitating! Great to see you found new pieces of history on this old line, and stay safe!
Lol good observation, DD. I learn my lesson about flip flops and railroads not mixing last year when some trackside debris sliced a piece off it and luckily my flesh was spared. It's almost as if that tree is anchoring down the rail so no one could take it. Thanks as always for the support and hope all is well with you and the hubby!
@@railrol82 Thanks, Roly! We’ve been better-unfortunately, two weeks ago we lost my mom to a cancer that was already terminal when it was detected in combination with a slew of other medical issues, and we’ve been dealing with her loss on top of everything else we’ve endured the past three years (PM me for other details, I’m not going into it here). I’ve been checking out your videos every week, but I was not in the right head space for commenting. I’m also racking my brains for an idea for the 100th video on my channel, so that’s keeping me preoccupied too. The yo-yo weather up here is totally crazy-today’s warm spell immediately following the cold snap caused a water pipe to burst in the parking garage of my older daughter’s apartment building (just-off-campus student housing at the university), so you can see the weather gets weird up here too. Nothing beats the falling iguana advisories you get, though! Stay safe out there, Roly!
Hi railrol82, appreciate the reporting on historical rail infrastructure. Sad to see many railways go with time, but good to know some parts still hang on. Happy Sunday! I would also yearn for the days of yesterday, with more rail, trains, and nature.
I never encourage theifery but with memories like this it never hurts to lake a little piece of something "worthless" like a small chunk of the rotting ties before its gone forever! Because by the looks of things that wont be there for much longer. Keeping stuff like that as a shelf piece brings back alot of memories.
Yeah, l agree. Although that sign has been there for quite some time and with sky rocketing interest rates, it would probably be there a good while more. Thanks as always for the support of my channel!
Abandoned railroad tracks just do it for me. You think about how long they've been there. What type of freight was transported over them. The passage of time, the cold days, the hot days, the rainy days.
There is an abandoned spur that goes behind a warehouse by where I work in deer-field beach. I walked back there, the rail is gone but the old rotted ties are still there, I was able to find 3 railroad spikes I took them haha
If you live close by, maybe you should visit as we don't know how much time this has left. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Kyle!
A monument deserves to be erected and a section of track preserved for future generations! Of course I would rather see the line restored to railroad use! I won’t hold my breath though!
The numbers at 5:54 are the "Heat number" identifying the bloom this piece of rail was rolled from and the date it was rolled. The raised numbers on the other side identify the manufacturer, mill, section, month, and year rolled @ 6:44 is 11228 RE CC Tennessee USA 1951 - IIII means 112 lb rail AREA section, control cooled, Tennessee Iron & Steel, USA, rolled in April 1951. If there is a letter in the heat number, it means the part of the bloom the rail came from starting at the top and going down; A is the top, B is second, C is third, etc. There is a greater chance of inclusions from the cooling of the steel in a bloom because of shrinkage from A rails and less for B rails and hardly any for C and beyond. Steel from an open-hearth furnace was emptied into a ladle and then poured into vertical ingot molds to make blooms which were stripped from the molds when the steel was just cold enough to solidify but still easily worked(rolled). The very top was cut off and used in another furnace while the rest of the bloom was cut into sections to roll rail or other steel sections (Cees, I-beams, H-beams, channels, angles, etc.). The wires connecting the rails on the field side of the joints indicate that this track was signaled when it was last used; probably for grade crossing signals.
Have you seen the real estate prices in Miami?! I think it would be cheaper to exhume Mr. Flagler and do a Weekend at Bernie's thing with him! Thanks as always for the support, T! Hope all is well with you and the family.
Good afternoon sir. How are you doing today. Do you know when you'll be in Illinois next? This is an awesome place. The next owner should make a museum with this and possibly add more rails for a tourist line. Like the gold coast museum you talk about. That would be something.
When I saw the thumb nail photo for this video, I thought to myself, he is back at that section of track that he visits on a yearly basis. Sure, enough that is where you were on 4 February 2023. Ii is nice to see that the track is still in place and that someone is cutting the grass in that area so that the area is not another overgrown jungle. Hopefully, the size of the parcel of land that the track is sitting on is not large enough to put up any commercial building and this section of track will stay put for years to come.
Wow, you have a superb memory, Thomas. You even remembered the date of the video! I was thinking the same thing about the small size not being suitable for a building. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel!
Kind of curious that they pulled out all the other rails and ties but left that one short section in place? Odd. They gave you video material on a silver platter!
That’s because the trees that grew into the rails said “Nope, you’re not taking _this_ section! We’re keeping this piece of history right where it belongs!”
Did you know that apparently they are going to build a new trail called the Ludlam Trail that will run along the former Overseas Railroad's Miami extension right-of-way? I read that it might start from where you were filming this video all the way to NW 7th Street. And it looks like they might rebuilt the old abandoned bridge at A.D. Barnes Park for this purpose.
My atx Bergstrom spur will be entirely gone within a year for another stupid rails to trails and I’ve filmed the entire line and taken hundreds of pictures for forum groups I’m in for abandoned rail lines. There were trees 30 foot tall growing inbetween the ties in some areas and it’s not even been abandoned for 20 years. I remember you visiting this site before and you mentioning you never know if a gator is in that water along the bank always appreciate your channel and your willingness to conversate in comments with your subscribers I appreciate that
You have an excellent memory! I appreciate the kind words. I try my best to get back to all my comments, sometimes time doesn't allow to reply to all though. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, JW!
I've heard that in order to sell rails as scrap you have to bring a document with the letter head from the RR company. I can't confirm nor deny this. Thanks as always for the support of my channel!

Yes sir, if these rails could talk, l can imagine the stories they could share. Hope all is well with you and thanks as always for the support of my channel, Duane!
With that fore sale sign, you need to keep an eye out to see if it gets sold. Maybe you can get a few souvenirs when or if they go to rip everything out. In an ideal world they would quit building so many roads and start putting the tracks back, but this world is anything but ideal and we have Governors like De Satan who seems to get away with anything including blocking transit dollars in Hillsborough county. I always say Florida has the best Government money can buy and it has been bought by the rich.
Yes sir, the moment special interests groups and lobbyists are eradicated is when this will truly be a representative government. Thanks as always for the support of my channel, Greg!

Yes, I often think that if these rails could talk, imagine the stories they'd say. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Timmy!
