NNRy Riding the Rails HD

Join us as Mark takes us on a brief history of riding the rails. From the first Sheffield hand car to the modern high-rail truck to a home-built railrider, see the many ways to gild on steel rails.

[@patbrennan6572]

This guy is a darn good speaker, should have his own show..

[@scootersonlyrepair6773]

You clearly haven't seen him on tv. He's on pawn stars all the time

[@suprememasteroftheuniverse]

He has here on KZbin.

[@jamess1314]

He show up on American Restoration all the time. They restore many of the items for the museum.

[@Micksoffthings]

I leave this under every video I watched, it helps the algorithm..

[@mareksumguy1887]

@julian Heers 😂

[@nils.klinger]

why do you think it helps the algorithm? #highaf

[@NolieRavioli]

thank you and it did

[@50AHenry]

I came here randomly and stayed to the end. Thank you for spending my time "efficiently" You covered a lot of info quickly and interestingly. You are very easy to listen to. Very enjoyable and informative. Thank you ! ! ! (from AUSTRALIA)

[@marteck319]

Thank you for a refreshingly Concise and informative video. No goofy background music no long laborious introduction. Just the facts ma’am..... beautiful.

[@porkchopspapi5757]

Good to see Im not the only one who appreciates that.

[@andrewduncan4230]

....and perfect audio! None off this relying on the ‘in camera’ microphone. Well done.

[@jeyapaulsamathanam7057]

Mark, thank you for an excellent documentary. There is no unwanted music, no fellows with nose-rings drinking beer and talking rubbish. This is an example of a PERFECT documentary. A hundred years of railroad history revealed in 7.09 minutes. Well done !

[@mteley]

This is the spirit of KZbin.

[@jockojohn3294]

I ended up here somehow? and stayed to watch. I like train history, but don't go looking for it. Why I stayed is because the video was so well done. You don't find all that many vids that are well put together-they have an actual "intent" and they stick to expanding the story in a logical, easy to understand manner, with short comprehensive "shots" that keep the interest going. Very nicely done.

[@KyleHurd]

jocko john agreed! This was great!

[@Ian-Hall]

Jocko john, same here, not sure how I got here (maybe train snow blowers) I stayed till the end also. Very interesting video.

[@MrTomtom3d]

Me to ended up here after a trail of good videos. Very interesting and well made great job! I was on the right track! Sorry xD

[@mikebussy3334]

Me too, very interesting stuff.

[@RichieWellock]

Wow was gripped as you did a amazing job of keeping entertaining engaging and sharing your knowledge. thanks Mark

[@rapperc18]

I think I found my new hobby! I know there are some abandoned railways in Arizona. I am gonna have to dig deeper into this.

[@awizardalso]

In Orrville, Ohio there's a club that will offer rides on rail Speeders for Boy Scouts and other groups. I went with my son and a bunch of kids and their parents. I was given the chance to ride in an SW9 switch engine. The rides were on a spur the went from the main line into a factory area in Orrville.

[@beanpie8897]

This is one of the best sperg vids for railroads

[@flycow69]

Thank you for the education about railroad history, I just happened to watch the video of the 4 retired friends that did South America railroad bike journey

[@s.davidanantharaj5310]

From India. Rail fan. Your video was full of information. In India foot patrolling is done. The path way inspectors use trolleys fitted with motorcycle engine.

[@venusalien5153]

No one: KZbin recommendation in 2021: This video

[@johnnyv1982]

Man I love trains... I don’t know how I landed here either but I liked the video. Feel like a kid again

[@steverudder3321]

As a fellow railfan, I have often wondered about the use of rail bikes and speeders. Today, this video popped up and answered my questions and more! Thanks! I hope to visit this place in Ely soon!👍👍

[@sreekumarUSA]

120522/0607h PST 🇺🇸 Thank you very much, Sir. The explanation was admirable. Very eloquently spoken and made people understand the intricate evolution of Railway inspection vehicles. Bravo.

[@athiker7209]

Glad I found this video. Very interesting.

[@charlesc.parker1164]

Thanks for the video. I'll be watching all of your videos.

[@timcoyle50]

I always like anything you do!

[@adamakaru2683]

NNRy1 I love your presentation thank you, so much very educational and interesting.

[@topixfromthetropix1674]

Several of the old country music stars had their own rail riders, from time to time one would see where they got detained by police in the newspaper. My first wife was the grand daughter of the first conductor on the Tweetsie Railroad and much of her family worked for Clinchfield RR. Thanks for an interesting and informative video.

[@Vegetable-ei8od]

What a wonderful and informative channel.

[@robc.5745]

Very informative and enjoyable , Thank You Mark..

[@meher9608]

Very interesting video

[@howardsmith9342]

All those months I lived and worked in Ely I never went to the museum. Now that I'm retired I have to go back! (I never found any garnets at that stupid hill, either--now I absolutely have to go back!)

[@waltp.1173]

Great video. Thank you.

[@BhupinderSingh-tt9ox]

Mark beautifully explained all the different forces used to inspect the track.. Muscle+mechanical efforts really brought revolutionary ideas in smooth and safe running of rail cars... beautifully videographed... Very informative 👍👍

[@standubaj8989]

Loved it very interesting, I used to be a Schnabel car operator worlds largest railroad car

[@thatportlandguy8593]

This randomly got suggested for me. What excellent content.

[@thammanoonkamfunt5470]

Fantastic! ... Good Job

[@royreynolds108]

Nice you showed all of the vehicles for track inspection or work. I happen to own a Sheffield velocipede, a hand car, and a Fairmont Railway Motors B-4 car that was sent to the signal maintainer of the Pere Marquete RR at Holly, MI in 1941. Hand cars date from around the war between the states.

[@donretsas1791]

Thank you Mark very interesting and well done. Greetings from Australia.

[@niteshades_promise]

fascinating. when i was a kid i wanted to build a hand car. was not allowed. 😩🍻

[@jamesringler987]

Build one now

[@oftenlucid]

Just the tip. band: Can't or wont? Archer rules!

[@SkyCharter]

Informative. Thanks.

[@henkzaanstad5857]

Wauw, greate video..very nice..thanks...henk from holland

[@flare242]

Cool video. Got here while random browsing from spelunking through RC airplane crashes. I would love to have one of the trucks that can drive on rails and just surf the world on forgotten railway tracks. That would be great!

[@mikerafone4736]

popped in my recomend, good to see you on the screen great topic

[@douchebag4057]

That looks like an amazing work out

[@itsruf1]

Observation: These videos are hilarious. They only show the positives. Lots of B.S. that naive people don't thing of. I say the negatives are huge.

[@ЛЬВИНИ]

Very nice video, likes from me

[@dennyfrontier]

i like how it has a little basket on the back :3

[@Rodolfobia]

this is great

[@trevortrevortsr2]

fascinating - thanks for posting

[@nightman7263]

Very, very interesting!

[@beatrute2677]

seats on that last one looked comfy as

[@JPAnor]

i always wanted to ride a railbike as a kid... ah so many memories

[@nielknox]

Thank you!

[@garygerard4290]

wow, that was pretty cool - thanks

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

So glad I found the channel, subscribed and notified!

[@Kansasavation]

It looks fun they do stuff like this because I have a train line not far from my house but. It’s useless for our modern day trains and it only goes to small towns but they occasionally take the old steam trains out

[@kc8rbk73]

Excellent video!

[@miketheloko]

those overalls looks so comfortable, but i wonder how the weather is in the video

[@Joe_P]

6:14 "Hey pedro, come here- put on this scarf and hat and be in my video. No it'll be cool, I promise."

[@andret9382]

Interesting, like it.

[@SinkyYT]

You deserve a lot more subs!

[@RaynarNslR]

How old is this vid? Dare say it was good! Educational, interesting and informative. Wonder if we can do this in England. What was I thinking, health and safety wouldn’t allow it! Even though Southern Rail lines are always empty. Thanks for the vid.

[@Tmrfe0962]

Thank you great site!.....

[@Kimblesgarage]

KZbin algorithm is trying to get us into homemade rail car adventuring

[@billmorris2613]

Good afternoon from SE Louisiana 10 Aug 21.

[@paulinoregon7538]

visit the railway museum in Carson city NV. really worth the visit.

[@fanatamon]

I want all of them.

[@whatusernameis5295]

the train company that got excited instead of mad is based

[@SteezeCartel]

For the first few seconds I thought this was Mark Hall Patton from the Cook County Museum!

[@register1430]

would have been interesting to see the High Rail go on and off the rails.

[@ruthwerner9424]

Looks like fun be carefall

[@chrisflores9575]

I like these ones at 3:41,4:37,5:49 and 6:24

[@TheDutyPaid]

Ah, bless you.

[@bryancomeaux4961]

I invented this I was 8 years old in cleavland Texas

[@pyrodragon7476]

i want one of those

[@rapiman]

felicitaciones

[@AnthonyLeoWilson]

pretty friggin cool

[@limeloren9305]

0:05 that is so cool

[@clays2734]

nice

[@snowlion3010]

Oh hi Mark

[@unrealgoat_6878]

snowlion30 I did not hit her

[@productivitygod7887]

I did not

[@scr2392]

with the truck you also have a lot of torq and speed and can probly pull 10 freight cars

[@lordcarloshere]

Feels like you would have a better view of track with a Unimog instead of a pickup truck.

[@myroadtours6147]

Am I the only one that things the High rail truck would be a good bug out vehicle lol

[@fjb4932]

No, but many won't think it through. Basically one could only go one of two directions. Both towards predictable locations. An ambusher's dream ...

[@jacobaguiar8018]

How did the old style ones get out of the way of a train

[@thomastarter9904]

You forgot to add moped and bicycle .

[@OfficialNo44]

im not into trains or any thing in i like that rail bike im most like add a sound system and some subs

[@jamescarpenter1095]

I live by a place called Sheffield lake.

[@LagrangePoint901]

So who yields and unloads?

[@sandmanbub]

@Whoop!

[@veliagarcia3606]

I would like to ride too...... where can I go to find out about the ride? I’ll gladly pay..........

[@cjsvlogs8208]

Oh hi mark from the room

[@butchrowerakamannyfraker955]

Is this the guy who was on that Rick Dale restoration show???

[@gordbaker896]

Usually seen on Pawn Stars.

[@David-cy5zu]

he should have made it like a bicycle, u can get more power out of ur legs compared to your back

[@iamKBCummings]

You got it David. We had that in all the places I worked in metal mines.

[@David-cy5zu]

Kenneth Cummings well that way he works out his back and abs, grannys gonna be his hahaha

[@klaa22]

1:40 you can see he is using both legs to push forward as his torso and arms move back - double action, which is even more powerful than just pedalling.

[@David-cy5zu]

RichardR1950 nope, the way back, when he leans forward is moving without doing work. idle. like lifting ur foot up after u pushed down. what he does is like rowing, but without biceps and horizontal muscle in the back. i can output 2x power in the gym on bicycle compared to rowing easily and he is not even rowing 100%

[@user-tb2jy9lu3d]

Out of curiosity, what's the current law in the USA say about riding a modern version of one of these on railroad tracks (of course, getting off immediately and moving the whole thing off the track ASAP when a train is visible).

[@Graelock]

KZbin recomendations really are bizarre

[@staffsargaent]

Hey Mark, haven't seen you since the Rick's Restoration

[@davidlinihan3626]

Like to have that last one

[@SuperDcopeland]

I got something like the hobbiest have. Its called a fourwheeler. Lol

[@hondacr250hrc4]

Allrighty then

[@davecarmichael1159]

Where is this video filmed?

[@ephramzigler9146]

Ely, Nevada

[@makeminefreedom]

How do you get the heavier hand cars off the tracks when a train comes?

[@thefightisalwaysfixed8890]

4 men... 800 pounds. = 200 pounds per person. That's nothing to a strong man

[@BillShartner]

Not sure how I landed on this video, but it was great :D

[@jaspalkamboj4269]

same haha :D

Me too

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

As a bicycle enthusiast, the first thing I thought of is making a modern Velocipy using modern electric pedal assist technology. Imagine how peaceful it would be to ride by yourself through some scenic canyons and mountains in Colorado.

[@robertallen6710]

Buena Vista to Leadville might be a start...abandoned, unused track....I've hiked those rails north a few miles, from Buena Vista to the railroad bridge over the Arkansas River and the exact same thought came to me...how relaxing to pedal or motorize yourself through that pristine mountain scenery!

[@Zer0cul0]

I just want to point out that I only found this after seeing a vid of someones diy bike speeder for riding rails. Had a swing out arm for lining up the other rail from his bike.

[@RNicolasRuvalcaba]

@@robertallen6710 Since I made my original post about having an electric Velocipy I discovered that there's a place in Boulder Nevada that offers just that. An electric rail-kart tour..

[@cahg3871]

@@Zer0cul0 saw that exact same post this morning,think it would be a great hobby.The local railway authority in Fort Erie Ontario(by the peace Bridge) might have other ideas though.They keep a close watch.

[@goosemaster1654]
