Railroader here. Okay so what i would recommend is getting wheels from an old hi rail truck or a push cart. Go to the local rail yard and ask around. Im sure if you show up with a decent bottle of whiskey im sure someone could hook ya up. They run about $1,3000 CAD brand new. So maybe a couple bottles. Scrap yards maybe?

Fun fact: Some wooden bridges, like this one, have a big water tank a bit higher from it where a guy would sit and wait and if a fire from the hot bits falling down from the steam locomotives were to occur, he would open a valve and basically activate a fire suppression system to stop it from burning down. If you see a tender-like object higher than the tracks itself, that is it. Learnt that from my dad. This might actually be the exact picture he showed me!

There is one, I saw it in another video. A tanker car up in the hills and a long run of pipe going down to the bridge's catwalk.

I though the whole experience was interesting, so a few sentences up, I decided to start telling this whole little adventure, that happened right here. On this very KZbin video, in the comments, under a post by @intotheether3803, where she was detailing an account of hiking on a 100+ degree weather that day day. Her post was followed by some laughter at the memory and nostalgia, before being left to be found 2 weeks later, by some gentleman thinking that her post was a humble brag / blatant lie about have 2 girlfriends and/ or hiking. I was that very same gentleman. I decided to turn the whole ordeal into a creative writing assignment to offset and hopefully correct whatever strange response that was initially incited by an innocent memory. One holding a trove of happy experience, despite taking place in a 100+ degree weather that day day. On a side note, in another book, yet to be written of wants and adventures. I want a train trail cart also. It's a great idea, and I hope it materializes in my future reality. With an expression of thanks, JG Zergherder

[@Aaron19987]

No one saying that he needed conical wheels was suggesting removing the only safety feature on his cart lmao

[@itsAkkiii]

Honestly, I am shocked that this KZbinr never decided to even check how train wheels actually work.

[@FunktasticLucky]

this all could have been fixed had they just welded the damn flanges to the axle so they couldn't move.

[@SurBlox]

@@itsAkkiii he saw the comments i think he just didnt want to make conical wheels since cylindrical wheels still work

You are such an incredible creator. You aren’t just making content for entertainment; you always bring a message of encouragement and hope into everything you create. So here I am, some how yet again emotional over a Preston train related video. Please never loose your beautiful love for life dude 💖🤘🏻🥹

[@PattymayoTv]

Absolutely brilliant storytelling - Road to 1 million and beyond

[@_REDEM_139]

Why did i know you were gonna be watching this lmao

[@andrewferguson8032]

Amazing use of music as well, especially the original songs

[@jdssurf]

Ugh, that song always rips my heart. Especialy watching them play it live and how the crowd is so emotional.

[@SpringEngineTurbine]

Bro!!! You have inspired me to keep going!! Right as I was about to give up on getting my new inventon funded and seen by the public, I watched this video and it has gave me such new hope!! Thank you for being you. I'm going to keep going!

[@althejazzman]

I was one of those "conical wheels" guys on the first video, but seeing your enthusiasm, production quality, and effort for just creating an experience with a friend, I don't care how janky your hooptie is.

[@elrey8876]

I got frustrated by how many obstacles he created to his own success by half-assing it so much.

[@althejazzman]

@@elrey8876 I agree but a lot of us have also just bodged something quickly to see if it works. He's doing that and have a great time.

[@jasonb6570]

@@althejazzmanHe bodged it last time and it didn't work. And then he did it again.

[@Tornado_Boy616]

I for some reason almost started crying of happiness when you found the bridge. Great job bro.

[@motor_misc]

This is not only an awesome project it's a cinematic masterpiece

[@AlecThePirateKing]

Gosh this video was such a ride! I'm so glad you made. I had the privilege of biking the very route you took to visit the Goat Canyon Trestle when I was a kid. This video makes me want to go back so bad.

[@bernardosilva2540]

I love the sicere and personal storytelling. It feels as if we were in that kart aswell, through all the highs and lows. I loved the pacing of the video. A masterclasd in editing and enganging the viewer. Amazing work!

Super adventure. Right up my alley. Spent many a day exploring old railway grades. Never on a contraption like that, though. Well done. Keep up your love of adventure.

[@kenshewjr.4837]

Ngl I got full body chills at the bridge reveal

[@error.418]

huh, when he stopped before the bend and did the long talk as if he didn't know it was just around the corner it was like... yeah, this is gonna be a forced big reveal isn't it? meh

[@Con-uf8nf]

Hey Preston! I know that you will probably not see this, but I really like your content. In the current way that KZbin is, you are fresh air contentwise. The way you incorporate song into your videos is just crazy! Keep up the outstanding work!!!

[@prestongoes]

thank you!! I will! I appreciate this comment :)

[@DSB1234567890]

When you go back (with conical wheels) you should bring a satellite messaging device like a Garmin inreach. It would be a really bad situation if the cart broke beyond repair all the way out there, or someone got hurt or had a medical issue.

[@tarakivu8861]

its not thaat far from civilization..using some of these sos beacons would just end up costing you because you didnt really needed it

[@MelvinGundlach]

He could use any modern iPhone instead.

[@Nico-b4r]

Greetings out of Africa! I came here looking for "rail car rides" - and found a major lesson in life - NEVER GIVE UP! What a video! Thanks for sharing.

[@James_Lim]

I saw a comment about how good the ending was and thought, no way. Then I watched the whole thing. That was one of the best endings I have seen, ever. I don't think you can finish that video without tearing up! Incredible storytelling. Get some damn conical wheels!

[@clintwolf5737]

LOL! Loved the song about the cheap plastic legs! Kudos for your determination to make this happen.

[@elephxd]

bro had a second chance and still f'd it up

I'm glad that you two buys made a follow up video on that journey to the trestle bridge. Great sentiments of encouragement at the end on the video too. Never give up! 🙂

[@DOPEorNOPE]

Beautiful story man. I'm here for the next impossible bridge quest!

[@charlesdebarber2997]

Most dangerous part of that journey was eating a sandwich from a gas station.

[@CentralAssassin]

You're honestly one of the few youtubers who create contents with so much emotions. Most likely because of the perfect use of music. The ones you create and the songs you use. This is crazy good video. Well done!

[@invisible2046]

First

[@sammytaylor9509]

I have to say, this is one of the most inspirational videos i have ever seen. I loved your ability to push through, both of you, to see where this adventure lead. How truly worth it it was. Then that song you played, my uncles song, a song of perseverance, hope and positivity. 😊

[@LeondoesMusic]

I loved that you used Holiday for the intro. Great choice. Especially considering that in the American Idiot story line, Holiday stands for the first time the protagonist leaves home to go on a journey.

[@McDeezy_]

Bro Pleazzzzzz stop making bangers!!!! They are too good 😭

[@SquirrelTheorist]

They are good! Don't tell him to stop, please!

[@geoffreybovey3482]

I need to say something here. There’s a lot of criticism about the cart and how he built it. This video is SO much better than whether or not that cart was made properly. This is so good, I’m giving serious thought to convincing my fellow teachers to showing it to their students across our junior high . This is by far one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on KZbin, and I am quite the KZbin watcher….about the importance of Never Giving Up. Absolutely fantastic video, and it’s a MUCH more powerful message than whether or not they built a cart that works. I don’t think whether or not they had the right wheels on is even close to what makes this video so important!!! I salute you guys!!! Bravo on a job VERY well done!❤❤❤❤❤

I love how stylish the lady explorer is! That hat and that scarf! 😂

[@jumbleblue]

I think that was really interesting to see. Like how you changed a very bad track-wheel design to a bad track-wheel design with totally predictable problems, even though everybody seems to have told you to do conical wheels. But then you made it into an entertaining video, which is really where the talent is at here. :)
