Lol There's nothing like 80s movies my friend! I can quote Rambo, Rocky, Three Amigos, you get the point! My apologies about the wind. They are really strong here this time of year. I hope all is well with you and thanks for the continued support of my channel!
Great video! I used to ride ATCs out there also, baxk in the 80s. The 3 Lakes community was built in the late 90s, but those lakes came from quarries, which moved west. Swimming and boating are allowed. That rail line is old, but so cool to see and bring back memories.
Cool video! I love abandoned things as well. I'm always wondering what it was like when things were being used and in full operation. When a falling down house may have been someone's dream come true a century ago...
Here in Toronto, remnants of the original Grand Truck line can be found in the Lower Don Vally at certain points. Most of which has sunken below the soil all around the CN Bala Subdivision.
The difference about the abandoned and active track is the tracks are fresh or shiny it means its active the abandoned are rusty and old Nice video and stay safe out there
You walking the rails reminds me of my childhood memories when I did that with the Sisco boys in old hickory on the train track behind my aunt and grandma home
Great question, South it goes about 14 miles, West about 3 miles, and North about 1,000 something to Richmond, VA! Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Greg.
Nice find Daniel son! 😀They should be called that line bonsai. 🤣So cool that you found a hidden treasure buried in the ground. That wall with graffiti next to the tracks is nothing compared to Los Angeles, the industrial buildings next to the tracks and brick walls are pretty much covered with graffiti.
LOL They should call that line Sionara, because it's going bye bye! LA is crazy with all the traffic, I don't know how you guys do it. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Kevin
The tracks that you found in the ground are an interesting find. I hope that you are going to tell us what you if anything that you find out about them from the old aerial maps. I would be interested in knowing what you find in the old aerial maps. Could there have been a building between the wye that required train service in the past? Was there even a wye in this area in the past?
This was a cool series ........ Great job!! if only the rails could talk, as alway's great video's ....... which episode has the map of this crossing/wye
Yes sir, if only those rails could talk... They'd talk about Model T's, hurricanes, steam trains and so many other things they've seen in their 97 years! The first video is the one that has the map. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Thomas
Always wanted to see this location. If you had a railcar you could ride down the abandoned section till you hit the overgrown area. Do you think the area of the old track could have been a service area for maintenance. Hope you can find more info.
It's probably a service road for MOW.? It would be interesting to see the rock quarry where they extract the rock? Where kind of material do extract there? Sandstone, ancient seashells? What?
It may have been a service road for MOW, good point. That is a great question about which material they extract there. I don't have an answer, but I'll see if one day l can sneak a video. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Mike. Hope all is well!
Hey Roli does it mean that the 1926 75 lb rail could not support modern day 6 axle locomotive and only could support the weight of a 4 axle locomotive?
I was an engineer, not MOW. However, I believe with good ties, adequate ballast, and proper lining and surfacing, that line should be able to support a 6-axle locomotive operating at a safe speed. The key metric is the weight per axle, not the total weight of the locomotive. There are many variables, however the weight per axle of a 6-axle locomotive is not that much higher than the weight per axle of a 4-axle locomotive. Some "first generation" diesels had "A-1-A" trucks (center axle not powered) to spread the locomotive's weight over more wheels for operation over branch lines with light rail.
YEP i was 10 years old or just turning 10. I seen the Karate Kid at the old Mayfair Movie House at Frankford and Cottman Ave. in NE Philadelphia. That Same year, Witness with Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis came out. `Of course 1986 was "TOP GUN"
Ah Daniel Son 😂 thought you'd be too young to know of that.
Shame about the wind noise, don't realise it at time of recording.

SXH 53 is called Sterling on the Timetables. The local L789 is called the Sterling Switcher actually! Did you know they are repairing the line!
Sitting here watching you from next to Richmond Virginia.
You can somewhat follow all of this from route 1 here down to there
I see what you mean, they run pretty close to each other. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Matt!

I really enjoy your videos. Open, honest, candid. They’re all packed with info. I can feel your excitement
I appreciate the kind words, Peter. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel!
Awesome video Roly! This is definitely my kind of archeology! Stay safe my friend!
I like the way you think. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, John!
Fantastic work as always Railrol! It is disappointing to see abandoned track, but hope springs eternal while it is not removed.
Yes sir, as long as the rails are in place we have a shred of hope. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Armando!
We know our politicians sold us out especially with nafta most heavy industries left America
The difference about the abandoned and active track is
the tracks are fresh or shiny it means its active
the abandoned are rusty and old
Nice video and stay safe out there

Nice, there's nothing like those childhood memories! Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, MH!
Cool video. I like the impersonations.😄 Great find on that abandoned siding.
Go left it's not been run on for awhile.I love old rail . I watched it go down in my little town moving out to a new mill outside of the village.
A great find is seeing some track left behind y walking a rail trail
I agree. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Walter!
Thank you for throwing that spike in the middle of the road so I can pick it up with my tire haha
what agreat fing..that was an awesome video..keep on tracking!
Awesome video 😊
Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Rick!
Good one, Roly.
Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Mike
This is so cool! I would love to see this line all the way down until you can't go any further. I am very curious. Awesome video. Have a nice day 😊🌈
good morning railrol82 buddy how are you doing this morning & please be careful watch out for snakes
Great job once again
Good Video! How much further does it go in either direction?
Great question, South it goes about 14 miles, West about 3 miles, and North about 1,000 something to Richmond, VA! Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Greg.

There was another wye down there that was removed around 1963.
@@lancereagan3046thank you for that information.
I use historic aerials to find drive in theaters and old rail!

Its limestone rock, and sometimes other stuff like potash

My haiku.
The little tree lives
Between the active train tracks
It will not grow tall

The one that’s rusty

Catch a train on that line.
Those tracks are owned by CSX no way lol.
First
Enjoy these RR archeology expeditions,do You know what kind of revenue freight CSX runs on that line!🛤🚂👍
Yes, CSX local rock train O721 and nothing else. Thanks as always for the continued support of my channel, Chainsaw!
