Ghost Tracks in Utah's Little Cottonwood Canyon

[@tomklock568]

Very nice. Such beautiful scenery makes it hard to believe all that was going on in that area...thanks again!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Great and wonderful place!

[@jonheller2307]

Another wonderful production. I love these historic snippets. Great photos, good dialog, a beautiful location. Let's me enjoy as if I was there. Keep them coming. Thank you!

[@slam854]

That is a great bit of history with some amazing views. My favorite is approaching the canyon overlook of the Salt Lake valley. Imagine the settlers just approaching the valley.

[@jacobramsey7624]

You should come up to new Hampshire this weekend because the Conway Scenic Railroad is having there rail fest this Saturday and Sunday and it is a grate event!

[@jimkleiss1020]

Wonderful...love the old photos you manage to dig up and the history lessons!

[@fanatichighdesertrailroader]

Always nice to see history with railroads nice video again.

[@tom7601]

Another trick was to drill a series of holes, connected together with a water groove. They would drive wood plugs into each hole then run water through the grooves. As the wood plugs soaked up water they swelled and split the block.

[@kerridillon3120]

I always look forward to your travels Mr. & Mrs. Toyman! You make the smallest details so interesting as you weave your stories!

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Kerri Dillon Traveling again! Found a few more interesting subjects! Will have a show up soon!

[@rickieslider3925]

[@jeanneuzarhudson8207]

Just another, Fine, episode of Toy Man. Having had "health", once upon a time, This was the sort of place where a buddy of mine and I would find us. Really nice glimpse into the past. Greg and Jeanne

[@ToyManTelevision]

Jeanne M. Uzar it was a fun day, but the older we get the harder this little Walks are. But we are undaunted! When all else fails there's always the model railroad, requires a lot less walking around

[@Sjoc78]

The box car was a Carter Bros. Car. It now resides at Ardenwood park in Fremont CA where they Society for the Preservation of Carter Bros. Cars has some old South Pacific Coast equipment.

[@ggsumner1947]

Very enjoyable video as always, and loved the views.

[@crystalrock18]

Seriously you guys are the coolest!!!!!! If time allows in the future I want to do some ghost tracking and photo taking out here in MO to send to you guys. Hopefully one day we can meet in the future and talk trains together. All in all super cool video!

[@ToyManTelevision]

crystalrock18 do go looking. Just plain fun!

[@crystalrock18]

This is true. Finding where rails once were is a great feeling.

[@detroitredneckdetroitredne6674]

Very cool adventure once again thank you for sharing I was just out that way in Vegas the wife and kids and I did the Grand Canyon train out of Williams Arizona it was a blast

[@ToyManTelevision]

Kevin Romas that Grand Canyon line is really fun! If the train wasn't great enough, and the Grand Canyon!

[@stevemellin5806]

Another great Video thank you

[@swamppy4880]

Maine used 2" narrow gauge in monson Maine. To haul slate.from the quarry to center of town.

[@alexvernyi2368]

Cool. Are there any sites with information on this railroad and the jitney?

[@jacoblyman1908]

I double checked and Don Strack's Utah Rails. net confirms it; that Shay that was in Nevada is former Little Cottonwood Transportation #1. It resides somewhere in Washington state now.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Jacob Lyman we need to find it!! Be fun if it ever came home.

[@Ultramarine]

oh I wish I had the photos from when I was a kid, They had 3 different trains out at the Gold Strike Casino. I thought that they were lost in the 98 fire. Im glad to hear someone saved the Shay

[@ToyManTelevision]

WE WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT AND GO SEE THE LITTLY GUY.

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

are you going to como Colorado? because they have a 3 foot gauge steam locomotive there.

[@chrisweiser6522]

Como does have a narrow gauge steam engine. I believe it was hauled south from the Yukon. The challenge is to be there on the ONE day each year when they roll it out.

[@randysrockandrollrailroad8207]

Really enjoy your videos!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Randy Mccarter thanks

[@Rickster5176]

Thank you!

[@mikethemoneymaker]

Fantastic!

[@ToyManTelevision]

mikethemoneymaker thanks

[@pbyfr]

Nice place and interesting railroad history. But why is the place called a canyon and not a valley?

[@ToyManTelevision]

pbyfr it's definitely a cannon! Glacial canyon but also with the stream. But a beautiful canyon

[@watasee9668]

I would love to hear more about the movie you shot here. Is it available ?

[@ToyManTelevision]

WATASEE unfortunately yes! We were just kids kind of screwing around it's called The Varrow Mission. It's about two rival groups of kids who put on the haunted houses and the ones who put their haunted house on the Oldmill find that the place is truly hundred or so they think turns out to be space aliens!

[@lhsboyproductions3446]

Awesome!

[@RickHanzlik]

I live just off the canyon in Sandy, can you tell me which trail head it is you were walking on?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Rick Hanzlik it's right at the mouth of the canyon. Not sure the name of the road but there's a road that continues to the south off the road that goes up to the Canyon and right there at that intersection is a small paved road that goes up to the parking lot

[@ptdave123]

if you click on this link it will show the small parking lot south to the south of the main road going up the canyon. go east to the end of the parking lot and you will find the dirt trail that he talks about walking up. there are many things you can see on the goople map area. www.google.com/maps/@40.5720532,-111.7741681,215m/data=!3m1!1e3 Rick Hanzlik, you may need to copy and paste this link

[@BarlowJacob]

What movie did you shoot in the old paper mill?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Jacob Barlow hi. Varrow mission. Goofy but heck... took us like two years!

[@BarlowJacob]

Very cool. Hope I can see it sometime.

[@BarlowJacob]

I just ordered the DVD off netflix.

[@BarlowJacob]

@@ToyManTelevision I watched it, that was cool! "Tiny" is a good lookin' guy ;)

[@Mike-tg7dj]

Wonder if those transformers were contaminated with PCBs? No railroad artifacts, I would love to find some old rail.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Mike Lcml5c they smell of oil and at leaking a bit

[@kupferbergbahn7952]

Will you and Karen be doing a show about that shay? I'd love to know where she is now.

[@ToyManTelevision]

Tedthetrain productions us too! But Dam says he knows where it is so we're going to follow up with that

[@DillonTrinhProductions]

[@danielunger5590]

Tedthetrain productions

[@timothyboles6457]

Gorgeous country up there

[@Entropian2012]

where does the rail start at in the canyon?

[@ToyManTelevision]

No track left in the canyon. A small piece relaid in Midvale. About 100 feet. Originally the track connected with the D and RGW at Sandy Somewhere near the smelter that’s no longer there. But about 90th south and I15

[@michaeliorg7892]

It would be cool if some one built a new railroad in little cottonwood canyon

[@WyanoPenna]

7:58 Saints and Soldiers?

[@ToyManTelevision]

Hum… now that you mention it.. I’ll bet they Shot here.

[@kae4466]

[@oregonrailfan7046]

The Shay that was at the gold strike Casino is in Washington state now it is pioche pacific #2 it is in Olympia I forget who owns it but it's at kipert's Korner feed the guy who owns it has a museum there the engine is sat on the back of a flatbed behind the store he also has a Plymouth diesel locomotive and some freight cars including a narrow gauge Rio Grande Caboose

[@ToyManTelevision]

Love to see that. But we were told it’s private. Is it open to the public?

[@oregonrailfan7046]

Yes it is you just have to ask the guy his name is Craig kinnaman

[@ToyManTelevision]

Oregon Railfan thanks!!!!!! I’m going to try to find him. Thanks!!

[@oregonrailfan7046]

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

If you haven't monitized your KZbin page, you should. I haven't checked my page hits for months but I might be up to 20,000 hits with my 110 or so very amateur videos.

[@ToyManTelevision]

We have. But they don't pay much for sure.

[@MustangsTrainsMowers]

So at what point do they start paying? And how much. I have thought of getting some other people to help me make one video I have an idea for. I won't give away my idea but I think it could be funny.

[@stevemellin5806]

P s made my day

[@20hztimanderson85]

Really now. You honestly believe the rocks where actually roughly cut that way over years? With the current narrative in the late 1800s coming fresh off the wagons. Limited population limited supplies along with the elements and food. Now how many stones are in the temple alone? And this happened over how many years? Lol.... we inherited those buildings from previous individuals. The skills and technical experience and knowledge that went into the construction of old world buildings we did not posses in the days of pioneers. Look at the narrative given and then use critical thinking and tell me you don't see holes in the history of our western states and there establishments. It's all a big lie. Have a wonderful day my friend and get woke!

[@ToyManTelevision]

Woke? Anyway my Great Great Grandfather was architect and yes, these guys knew how to build this. Experts. But humans have been building out of stone for 4000 years.
