Abandoned Trains of Carrizo Gorge

[@pingjockeyproductions6968]

What a great adventure- amazing find. Thanks for taking us along 👍

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you for watching. I will be having a couple of really interesting ones that I am excited about coming up soon. I just need a dry weekend. I hope you will check it out.

I rode these frequently as a kid in a Chicago suburb. We'd take these to get into the city to see the museums and buildings or head to a Cubs game or Christmas market. Tons of memories. Sad to see them like this.

[@senthilnathanviswanathan4924]

your video is amazing and mesmerizing.....felt as if I walked through time to see how intact the old abandoned trains are....they look immaculate....feeling sad over abandonment....

[@januarioqueiroz3122]

Spirits of an ancient civilization are dwelling these abandoned places Right now. They have had dramatics moments.

[@kepsteradv1422]

I believe this, too, Januario. That is one of the reasons I go out to these places. This is also the reason why some of the native American sites are so interesting to me. I hope to get to more of these soon. Currently I am in Peru and will be posting some new videos soon. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Hello. I've enjoyed eatching your videos. I've been exploring abandoned places myself as of late. I'd love to visit a site like this one. It looks pretty awesome

[@kepsteradv1422]

This really was an interesting spot. Fairly easy to get to from San Diego, CA. Thanks for watching. Sorry I missed your comment when you originally made it.

[@TruDroneVideos]

@@kepsteradv1422 That's ok, no worries. I did end up visiting the double decker train cars a few weeks ago. I flew some drones around and through them. It was pretty neat

[@carltarajkowski5484]

Nice story and history...thanks for sharing the story

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you for watching and sharing!!

[@alcopower5710]

Excellent content 👍

[@wesleyburns4566]

Very well video i love seeing these types history and old trains never to repeat itself would love to see it up close thanks for video.

[@kepsteradv1422]

It really is worth the hike for people who live in the area. I don’t think many people have any idea they are there. The tiggers and vandals always seem to find these places, though. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@greathelmet]

Cool stuff to find and explore out there, and you're finding it. Nice.

[@kepsteradv1422]

greathelmet Thank you for watching. I spend quite a lot of time doing research and trying to find interesting places to go visit. This is often difficult and time consuming. I am looking forward to the Coronavirus restrictions being over so I can get out to some locations I have found that require hotel stays.

[@anyetakabogera9549]

I am always fascinated watching video like you post on YT. All the while watching it felt like I was there with you physically. That's how good you are with the camera. Thank you.... I am your new follower😀😀😀😀

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you, Annie. I appreciate you watching and commenting. I am hoping to bring a real feel for the places I go. I have a trip I am really excited about next weekend to a very interesting location in Arizona. I am super excited to get that video put together.

[@alanpoh3386]

Good job. Music fits the experience. Love to see more

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you for watching, Alan. I am taking a trip out to Arizona next weekend to a very interesting location. I am really excited about the video I am going to put together for it.

[@alanpoh3386]

Traveled AZ many years when I lived there. Interested in what you come across

[@kepsteradv1422]

I am going to head through Phoenix and up the 17 then cut over east toward Winslow. I am trying to avoid getting caught in any snow around Flagstaff. I actually used to live in Prescott, AZ

[@atvkilla200]

I really like your videos. Keep up the great work, very nice.

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you very much, killa! I am taking a trip out to an interesting spot in Arizona next weekend. I am excited to put out the video.

Bi-level coaches if the ORIGINAL CHICAGO AND NORTH-WESTERN RR "400" with both interstate and commuter trains, like the Original "400" route to Minneapolis/St. Paul. Also the Northern Division along 2 routes to Green Bay and used for Packer football excursions, on the Lakeshore route by Sheboygan and Manitowoc, and also the Valley Route in West Bend and Oshkosh. Graffiti is a curse, but the paint is saving the cars, but the graffiti can be sandblasted, and restored with CNW Yellow and Green, and re-used for both commuters and excursions, with 100% Authentic E.M.D. F7A Diesels!, that are now FOR SALE on the Internet. Also now in 2022 with high priced gasoline at $5.00 per gallon, we need many more Passenger Trains, but beside Amtrak, and rebuild many miles of tracks that were abandoned and ripped off in the 1980s for nature trails that was the most stupid idea in the past 200 years of u.s.a. transportation history!!!!! Now in July 3, 2022 WE, and ALL OF U.S., MUST REBUILD THESE VITAL TRACKS THAT HAVE CONNECTED THE U.S.A. TOGETHER, and Truly created The United American States!!!!! GOD BLESS THE U. S.A.!!!!! GLORY ALLELUIA!!!!! AMEN!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY 246, AMERICA!!!!! SINCE JULY 4TH, 1776 TO 2022, A.D.!!!!! ALL ABOARD !! HIGHBALL !!-! Signed, Mr. [e-mail]. President:. GREEN BAY "400" DINNER AND EXCURSION TRAIN. Green Bay, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

[@kepsteradv1422]

I agree. It is a shame to see these cars rotting away in the sun and being vandalized. They are truly pretty cool cars. I think they are much more interesting than more modern cars. It is like automobiles. They newer they are the less of a personality they have. It would be great to see these restored and in there original state. I know I would pay to ride on one if someone did this. Thanks for watching and commenting. I am in Peru and will have more videos being posted soon.

[@stevensolway8669]

@@kepsteradv1422 Hi Kepster!! I'm happy that you agree with me and I want to get these coaches someday and make a Dinner Train with regular low level cars and the Bi-level coaches will be for families that can't afford to get the dinner, but we will have food like 🍕 pizza, or tacos, or hamburgers.

[@cevans9848]

Thanks man if not for ypur adventure my eyes probably would have never seen those trains. Its cool to me to see the world through someone elses eyes basically I dont travel much at all im stuck here in SC

[@kepsteradv1422]

Well thank you for watching it. I should have some more interesting places coming up. I hope to inspire guys like me to go out and explore interesting places they have next to them. I am sure there are some interesting places in SC.

[@ChristopherBrown-mq1lg]

Really interesting thanks for the video.

Wonderful video. Thanks for putting it together. I am in my 70s and still want to visit interesting places like this. From where you park your car, is it a long hike to get to the abandoned trains? P.S. the music and the sound of the train riding the rails and its whistle blowing in the distance was an excellent decision.

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you, UFO Bob. The hike to the trains really isn't very far. It might be about 1/2 mile if my memory serves me right. There is a long hike you can take to the famous bridge, but the cars are fairly close to where you park. I appreciate you watching and commenting. It is a worthwhile hike.

[@herbert92x]

Great video. A dramatic, yet dumb, place to run a railroad. Spreckles really should have listened to his advisors.

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you. I agree. It was fun to go down and check it out. Easy access, too. Thanks for watching

[@christopherdibble5872]

The engineers don't wave from the trains anymore, not like they did back in 1954.chris

[@christopherdibble5872]

You got that right, my friend.

[@soniaynclan9079]

Loved, loved this video! Could you tell us a little more info. Where it's located, is it hard to get there? I too have been looking for things to do places to go where you can be away from people yet have a great experience and great pictures

[@kepsteradv1422]

Thank you for watching. You take the 8 East out of San Diego to the Carrizo Gorge Exit. When you get off the highway you will make a right and then another immediate right onto a dirt road that will take you back parallel to the highway. You follow this and it will cross under highway 8. Once you cross under the highway you will see the railroad to your left. Find a spot to park and just walk up the railroad tracks. The first set of trains if not very far (maybe 1/4 to 1/2 mile tops). If you go early you can walk all the way to the Goat Canyon Tressle. Google it and check it out.

Where is this and it’s it still there?

[@kepsteradv1422]

@@AbelPalacios-i5s Yeah it is still there. Corrizo Gorge exit of the 8 East heading from San Diego toward Arizon. You take a right when you get off and follow the dirt road that winds back and goes under the freeway.

[@AbelPalacios-i5s]

@ Alr thank you bro

[@carltarajkowski5484]

Sad what’s happened to our Country

[@kepsteradv1422]

It really is. It is even sadder when you see the vandalism and destruction that takes place. It is a lot of hiking and work to get out to some of these location just to spray paint graffiti on them.

[@castelaronly]

Desde cuando no pasan trenes?

[@kepsteradv1422]

No recuerdo. Sin embargo, creo que lo ha sido desde principios de la década de 2000. Tendría que volver a ver el video para ver cuánto tiempo ha pasado.

[@tomp8871]

They are not abandoned, graffiti found them.

[@stephengarry5550]

Shame,shame. What a awful the these car are.
