@@nezrom9864 the RR only comes as far as the hydro generating station which is 60 miles south of here. they do the supply haul to keep the generating station going. we are mile 189 and the generating station is mile 136. the community of pukawagon has a train twice a week and they are located at mile 99. also we are the end of the line too . thansk
yes and the joys of the covid lock down is they took away our flight tracker so we can't go on line to see who and what the plane was. it was flying slow enough that it could have fallen out of the sky. thansk
In Minnesota we have old abandon railways to ride wheeler or snowmobile year round looks like yours would rattle my teeth out. Looks like it was fun thanks U 2
I really enjoyed that video. I see railroad companies leave the ties up there too. Here in NW ND on abandon tracks they took the rail and piled the ties in huge piles. Piles are still there 25 years later.
last train was in 2003 and they removed the rails to just outside of town over a tax dispute. we will do a video on going down the rail line in a couple of weeks. thansk
the train quit in 2003 then in 2014 they removed the tracks to just outside of town due to a tax dispute. oh well. in a couple of weeks we will do a video going down the tracks. thansk
the computers and youtube did not get along. it was 6.5hrs of loading and saving the video after i had completed it. then when i got up for a nightly pee at 12:32am, the video was finally loaded so i hit the button to make it live to the world. i think the go-pro film was the problem since it was in it natural form and not changed during an edit. i am learning more and more about these computers. thansk
Mr King if your ever in the market for a new quad buy a Honda ! You won’t regret it ! I’ve had mine for over 15 years regular oil changes and one set of wheel bearings runs and shifts like the day I bought it 👍😎
yes but the only dealer up here for honda is not a very good one. we buy at the other place because they are better at the service and sales too. oh well thansk
That GoPro works really good considering your probably getting thrown around a lot! Hopefully they find gold on your property! I am surprised how quiet those quads are! Carry on Canada 😀🇨🇦
I can't get over how QUICKLY the snow disappeared! Has to be evaporation more than melting when it is below freezing? The ground is warmer than the air? I don't miss 'mud season', no sir.
King Joey was it bringing back your crazy youth showing off in the snow on the quad, and thought you build the shop to withstand anything you was giving the Green Toy a workout get the door and beams tore down lol till tomorrow
Not a fan of Polaris then? What make would you recommend? the wife keeps bugging me for a quad but we only have 18 acres so I keep putting it off. Wouldn't mind a good but cheap second hand one, one day - maybe when I'm too old to get around our place LOL
the polaris has the "Lucas" starter on it and drags big time to start and the rear right axle always falls apart no matter which brand of replacement axle you put in. older quad with chain drive would be the way to go. no electronics. thansk
Nice tour. 🤠👍
thansk
The staff did a great job filming today!
Great video, thanks!
yes she did and the wind noise was controlled as best we could thansk
Thanks, I was surprised they didn't pull out the ties when they pulled the rails. The railroads pull the ties in the USA.

@@kingofobsolete4789 Does the railroad still run to the outside of town and if so what do they haul?

What a great day to inspect the kingdom, making sure the rocks are still there!
yes everything is at a stand still with mud and more mud every where. thansk
Oh NO! Wasn`t that the guard dog who was most often seen on camera? Sorry to learn about his passing. 😞
yes he was a very good guard dog and enjoy his life as a rescued puppie. thansk
Yes, they were worried about the rev o lution. That's the power of the people!! So we can look forward to
more great videos from the Kingdom.
yes all dramas control us but not controlling the real problems in the world. yes finally getting to be able to do something fun, lol thansk
Nice day for some quadding !
yes it was for not being planned thansk
Watch out for old railway spikes. They like tires
yes and we have hand picked the tracks twice now just for the scrap metal thansk
cool video. lucky to have your daughter to help the ol man.
yes she handles the quads, i hate them and hate them even more if i have to work on them, lol thansk
That jet was nav canada testing the approaches at the who ville airport

I enjoyed that!
me too thansk
like button guys. who made those trails?
thank you, these are original cat train trails that were here long before any roads. thansk

yes the old rail line here is used for travel to a community south of WHO-ville and we plan to film that once the snow melts,,,,, in june, lol thansk
Lots of minerals on the surface
yes all spillage or making a mess when they were mining here from 1950s-2000. thansk
I really enjoyed that video. I see railroad companies leave the ties up there too. Here in NW ND on abandon tracks they took the rail and piled the ties in huge piles. Piles are still there 25 years later.
yes, they are all about the re-sale of the steel and hope the ties get hit by lightning for a quick fire clean up. thansk
Where did that abandoned track go to. The train still goes to Lynn lake right?
last train was in 2003 and they removed the rails to just outside of town over a tax dispute. we will do a video on going down the rail line in a couple of weeks. thansk
Any idea when the railroad was put in?
from 1950 to 53 and was built for the mine to ship the nickel concentrate to the world markets. thansk
The railroad tracks in my home town were torn up in 1939. When did tracks get taken up in the Kingdom? Great video by the staff.

Hi Joey, did you change your time you release your video at night
the computers and youtube did not get along. it was 6.5hrs of loading and saving the video after i had completed it. then when i got up for a nightly pee at 12:32am, the video was finally loaded so i hit the button to make it live to the world. i think the go-pro film was the problem since it was in it natural form and not changed during an edit. i am learning more and more about these computers. thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 well I’m going back to work Monday, so I’ll be watching after work, I had been laid off for the winter, see you then
@@Lens-KeepingBusy excellent, it will be good to be back to work. thansk

yes we were surprised how the go-pro filtered out all the extra noise and got the quad sounds. we are learning and will be doing more. thansk
The Ex-wives…. 😂😂😂 they must have a RUclips Grammy award or something for you!!!
yes i doubt i will make the youtube awards because they keep turning me off, lol thansk

the sun and wind makes it melt then the rains will come and melt it even more thansk

You did'nt have mud season this year. You know what old timers used to say. No mud season means the coming winter wilk be
the month of may is our mud season and we will get rain and snow combined. thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 thank goodness, I thought you folks were going to get tons of snow this winter because you skipped mudtime.
@@andrewmunchkin7212 we are actually a little short on snow this year but the rainy season will make up for it. thansk
@@kingofobsolete4789 you have a very positive outlook.
Btw, when do the black flys start? Or do they just go year round now 🤔
@@andrewmunchkin7212 the first warm day we get all the bugs will be out in full force. you kill 1 and 1001 show up for the funeral, lol thansk
