I had that same catalog, and in my early 20's I used to ride my gas powered bike (Homelite XL 925 chainsaw engine) everywhere, and built my own "rail rig" with some old crutches and inline skate wheels (and Harbor Freight Alumiweld rods 😂). I used the tracks that go from Downtown Grand Rapids, MI to Wyoming, MI to get to work successfully for about 2 years, until a Wyoming cop sternly lectured me at a street crossing...then I retired it. Good Times! I think a business for taking trips on abandoned tracks with motorized bicycles is a fantastic idea, I'd probably use my design as it folded up on the rack and you could ride it as a regular mountain bike still, and take on any terrain due to the powerful engine.

I’d think those little platforms would be for emergencies when some nubnutz is on the bridge, the train comes and they have no way to dodge.

Have you seen the tv series “hell on wheels”? It’s about the building of the railways to the west after the civil war. It’s a drama of course but they show the building of the rails, trials and tribulations related to such a huge undertaking and there are some bridges they made. Some of the shows main characters were based off real folks who built the railways and approx timeline. It also shows the railways being built from the east to the west coming through the mountains. It’s an interesting show to be sure.

Thought we were cool and to top it off My Dad showed us how to do it Now at 66 years I want to build a Rail Bike Looks like a load of fun and no real hills to speak of .

Early 70s I had a friend who saw The Flim Flam Man movie and insisted we try that trick with his 60 something Pontiac Lemans. We first tried it on a side track between 2 crossings 1/4 mile apart. It worked so good we put it on the main and went several miles on an active track. This was in the prairie of MN Red River Valley, along and in plain sight of Hwy 75, on a Sunday afternoon an hour after the daily train had gone by. Our so called "measure of safety" was that we could see any train coming from miles away and had many crossings to get off at. I told that story to a co-worker about 1978 and he flat out called me a liar! A couple beers later--- we put the air tank in the trunk and drove my rusty 68 Firebird down to the tracks, lowered the front tire pressure and went 2 miles, turned around and went back, twice crossing the bridge over the Crow River between Rogers & Monticello MN. It was a dead end spur used occasionally to take freight in, or a nuclear waste shipment out, of the Monticello power plant. I have since watched Flim Flam Man and it looks fake! It would never have convinced me this was possible but we rolled along maybe 15-20 mph, smooth as silk and hands off the wheel. I do remember a little panic when we came to a siding switch, I grabbed the wheel to keep it straight, and you could feel car lift and settle just a bit as we crossed the switch diverge points.

Back when every man could climb a mountain and call it his own, and the landscape ran unbroken by the seeds of greed and corporate interest. The land that created a vision in the minds of its people that promoted freedom, and that consequently landed us in these troubled time when too many subscribed to it. An unsustainable way to live, but a way in which each individual can live his own life to the fullest, and truly experience the beauty around him.

Do it. I built 3 failures before i got one that was somewhat reliable and stable... even the one that worked had its warts. It is a wonderful creative process. Just build, and ride... you'll come back with new ideas, and get back to building anew. I do my most creative thinking just walking along the rails, looking at defects that don't bother trains, but really mess with a railbike. You'll also learn to read rust. One rail line I walked, had three short trains per week. I lived about a quarter mile from the track, and I'd hear it rolling through town just before noon. The train speed limit on these single track spurs is also slow, 15mph. The rail is also not welded, but bolted. This is a sure sign of slow, infrequent traffic. Good luck!

@@veronicadaugherty3760 You obviously know nothing of the rail system in this country. Emphisis... Nothing. I've been riding rails since the mid 80's. Careful selection of where to ride is obviously, the first decision to make. Next, is to observe the construction of the rail. Fish plates at rail joints means traffic is limited to 15 mph. Welded rail... NO. Next is the acquired skill of reading rust. If you love railroads, you walk rails, observe rail wear. Where our author is riding is abandoned, no train traffic. Did you notice rock slides across the rails? Washouts? If you read the lowbar, you would know he had permission to use these rails from the right-of-way owner.... and he probably signed a waiver.

We used to cross an active train truss bridge all the time when I was a kid. That's how I would get to my grandma's house and back on foot.good times, running like hell to get to the other side when we heard the train whistle. And it was a long way to the other side, and a long fall to the river below.

great video...have you thought of designing a quick release system that would lock two rollers on the rail, one top and one underneath?...this would be safer, lighter and you wouldn't be dragging that weight around
@louisc.gasper75886 жыл бұрын
Good idea. I think the difficulty may be that these old rails are joined by plates that don't leave much clearance for anything riding on the underside of the head of the rail. Another way is to center the load between the rails. Take a look at this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2HNp3iof9OGsMU. Of course, what are shown there are not practicable when one person has to lift the conveyance past an interruption in the rails. Still, it seems that something relatively lightweight that puts the load between the rails and lowers the center of gravity should be possible. Relying on a counterweight to keep me from free falling off one of those trestles would not please my life insurance company.
