Rail Riding in Ely 2013

[@scada4321]

The music, the scenery, the whole idea of building something yourself and getting it out there is fantastic! Good luck in your endeavours....

[@bobw7066]

Greetings from Australia, thank you for the great ride along with you. Two thumbs up.

[@bobr.6312]

Great fun, thanks for taking us along with you........

[@markfortin421]

Hello from Michigan! Man...I'd do that in a 💓 heartbeat! It looks like more fun than Disneyland, and costs A LOT less. Thank you for posting this...I had a blast, and Thank You to the Nevada Northern R.R. for allowing it to happen. ✌😁💥

[@IdealUser]

This is so cool. Looks like a fun way to travel!!

[@MrGigi-dz9cv]

A little fun on a deserted line.

[@hometownconstruction3]

I love these rail riding videos.

[@dougmckenzie680]

Great job on your rail cart and a great video too! Felt like I was there with ya !

[@howardsmith9342]

What's fun is that I know where you were along that rail line, having spent tons of time in Ely through the years. Cool!

[@normsweet1710]

Thank You for sharing the great ride ! I expect the ride after the construction of the machine is the reward .... we’ll done !

[@dadgumit2505]

looks like lots of us have been recommended rail riding / biking videos in the last week or so. They've become a trend now

[@caderamsey8878]

Dadgum it have you been watching A lot of them? If so, then that’s why.

[@baycassidy51]

Off and on for years of wanted to build one my roadblock is finding the wheels

[@railtrolley]

Great music choice. It looks like the place to film a spaghetti western. This line doesn't have to worry about fallen gum trees and blackberry bushes.

[@garygerard4290]

too cool you have both gas and peddle power - great video

[@2quintly]

Very interesting mechanical set ups on that rig. Good video.

[@scotttilson8876]

Definitely by far the best rail car I’ve seen. Most of them are just a cheap piece of plywood tiny little wheels. This is high-quality stuff.

[@pablojmarron2611]

looks like a Ron's rail rider to me by the wheels. Loved doing this for years starting 30 years ago. Nice to see you are still at it.

[@steve20664]

I think I would probably love this....I’d be tempted every few yards to go rock hounding..looks awesome and amazing.👍👍😀

[@SMILEVIDEOTRAINS]

aaaaasome video with great scenery. enjoyed my ride

[@michaelmclaughlin8474]

Awesome looking trip would have been nice to do thank you for the video.

[@dakota813]

Thoroughly enjoyed! Awesome scenery

[@MrGigi-dz9cv]

These tracks are so nice. Simone should open and maintain them for fun travel like this

[@sd90mac61]

Looks like you coulda kept going. I see you only had tools, what about extra gas, you never when your gonna need it. I jus love this rail road riding abandon lines, thanks for sharing this, keep it up👍👍👍

[@bobbywalker4883]

That looks like a heck of a lot of fun got to add that to my bucket list

[@ronduff4325]

What dude has never dreamed of doing this ?! It's so Awesome

[@petercool]

I WISH I WAS THERE WITH YOU NICE RIDE FROM AUSTRALIA

[@Petemonster62]

They still have some hand car set-offs, along the track, for you to use in case an excursion train approaches.

[@maximumpower102]

best soundtrack ever!!! i love the video

[@bill45colt]

tell us about your speeder construction,,,problems and solutions. gear ratios,,,vegetation and tree removal issues, cargo and items carried,,, radio scanners,,, drilled axles for wheel gauge change options,,, dimensions and weight,,, extra gas and options for manual pedaling if engine fails....we are interested,,,,,great videos and thanks for your efforts to do a great video

[@markduncan6690]

That little bit of gravel shouldn't stop the show!!

[@klaus9714]

The track literally ended there

[@biketech60]

@@klaus9714 More track is seen beyond the gravel road . How far I have no idea . A shovel and hoe should take care of "road maintenance" for the ambitious .

[@timf2279]

They go to McGill Nevada.

[@massimocallegari4898]

Molto bello!!! E bella anche la musica… saluti dall'Italia!

[@biketech60]

I would count half the fun designing and building a unique vehicle .

[@bethbartlett5692]

Ely, Nevada ❤ Love and miss Nevada -

[@timearly5226]

Me too! Grew up in Reno

[@chrisoconnor6445]

You need to film in 350 VR. That would make this a lot more fun and interesting.

[@119-i3h]

Do you know how to make one?

[@chrisoconnor6445]

Marlene wants to fight! -- Well i don’t know if this is a troll or not but i just noticed i said 350 and not 360 😂. So to make a 360 VR video, there are many companies out there who make these cameras... Some very affordable and some very expensive. Im partial to Insta360... wide range of cameras and prices. But there are a lot of companies that make very good and affordable cameras. Simple to operate and do a great job.

[@brianfredline8485]

I see from the plate on the back of the sea that you too are from Boise., If you ever want to ride the Thunder Mountain line from Cascade to Horseshoe Bend, let me know.

[@Eriks191]

Brian Fedline, I just saw your comment. I would be interested in riding that line. Do you work for the Idaho Northern Railway? I have talked to them and hadnt had much luck. the line is currently in fair shape except for rock slides and down trees.

[@peterpetersen4619]

Love the airconditioning.

[@ryanmcgouirk9402]

Thank you for using a Briggs and Stratton motor

[@wesg3084]

Super cool! Thank you for sharing.

[@dracy7024]

I could imagine cowboys on their horses riding along side those steamy locos and old carriages shooting in the air like crazy while robbing trains, what in interesting era.

[@1BillT]

Is this a prototype for the California bullet train?

[@gn4720]

Brown and Newsome designed it themselves Only a billion each . Good one Bill .

[@deplorablewhiteman3628]

Kinda but its faster

[@garyjones7198]

You gotta start somewhere... lol...

[@jasonvredenburg4839]

Bill Taylor yes and 65 billion dollars later

[@garyhughes1936]

Yes it is a prototype. This will be all the money they can spend after rail construction.

[@MasboyRC]

nice video, Feels like on cowboy movie

[@bz3248]

This is on my bucket list for sure.

[@painedinks]

Looks like a blast! So awesome!

[@markduncan6690]

This is the best time ever!! I hope you don't run into a big headlight!!

[@paulremmey8268]

Like in the tunnel 😳DOUBLE YIKES‼️😃

[@garyjones7198]

My guess is the Railroads are abandoned... beautiful scenery...

[@scottyj6226]

I'd be more worried of finding a pot farm that was guarded.

[@bjnorton8029]

Gary Jones the rail road is still in operation. The NNRy has several steam engines and a couple of Diesel engines. They do tours to Ruth all the time, and in the winter they go On Polar Express excursions. The railroad north of McGill is mostly abandoned though, and the highway department paved over the tracks at Currie

[@garyjones7198]

B.J. just slip up there during the night and chisel out all the asphalt covering the tracks and then as the song says, Keep on Trucking... lol..

[@CentralGeorgiaRailfan8051]

The only problem I see here is that these tracks are not abandoned at 1:46 you can see the silver top of the rail as the sun reflects off of it still pretty cool though

[@Santiago-qm6di]

This is cool... Hello form BraSil!

[@luisantoniomarrega1120]

Olá mano foi uma boa viagem pelos trilhos! Abraço 😷

[@jibblesq]

That thing needs a canopy. Too much sunshine for a pleasant ride.

[@summerland6397]

Nice car. The only thing I would add is a bigger muffler to quite it down with a spark arrestor.

[@ABRMelodies]

Very awesome ride.

[@kathydurbin437]

This looks like it would be sooooo much fun! I'd love to do this.

[@scottpool4777]

That was awesome yes definitely .

[@davidcraig9779]

Nice wheels, nice ride.

[@bobruxer3672]

That is so cool that's the best way to see the United States by the rails

[@andrewrobb9021]

Great video I'm inspired, thanks.

[@charlottemace1810]

THAT WAS A REAL ADVENTURE! HOW DID YOU KNOW YOU WOULDN'T RUN INTO SOME MISSING RAILS?

[@russellhunt5907]

Now try the line down to Hawthorne .

[@chrishinnant3924]

At 4:43 it will be so cool if those signal lights would activate when you approach it and you put a horn on your machine.

[@garybauer7574]

Great way to see some back country

[@iskraivan7431]

Super Bravo !!!

[@charlestellis7021]

I'd like this mode of travel.

[@bobcalgarycanada8582]

Thanks for the Ride

[@allancron1936]

Is this line still in use ocasionly ???? Great countryside , thanks for great video very enjoyable

[@Eriks191]

Allan Cron the line is used by the Nevada northern railway museum. They operate all summer and late fall. I got permission to ride on these rails.

[@allancron1936]

Thanks for that good to know it is still used by trains from the Nevada northern rail museum, I hate to see rail lines either completely abandoned or even worse pulled up, so short sighted removing rail infrastructure I always think , once again thanks for great video and for your reply,

[@timf2279]

It's between Ruth, Ely and McGill Nevada. Starts near Ruth then heading East towards Ely. The 2nd part is heading North from Ely towards McGill.

[@rico334]

It'd just be hilarious as hell if you rounded a curve and there was a loaded freight train running about 70mph headed right for you.......

[@rico334]

@Remi LaRiviere Hey.... Don't be mean dude or I'll tell my mom on you........

[@smilevideobritain499]

excellent ride. thank you

[@timearly5226]

I've long wanted to ride the rails like this. But even more I'd love to traverse the UK in a canal boat!

Đẹp quá, ra nhiều video như thế này nhé Bạn.

[@DavidTaylor-qn8fe]

Out there in sunny Nevada, you'll soon be going Solar Powered, its' now year 2020, in case you country kids hadn't noticed. Use cheap Chinese electric bicycle drive wheel's, two of them, one for each track, "regen" type hubmotors and solar panels on the roof but keep the pedal's. Good luck, happy days.

[@dougmckenzie680]

Don't forget to mention the cost cost for your inviro power components compared to a 200$ Harbor Freight 6 1/2 hp engine. You will get sticker shock soon enough when you price the composite wheels for this rail 'experience' ! Everyone seems to be gitty over green everything until the hidden costs are uncovered . Get a cyber job everyone, that pays big bucks , your going to need it just to live !!

[@steveturansky9031]

I wonder what the MPG is on that. I would think it would get great mileage because the friction should be pretty low.

[@mikeyoungblood1706]

AMERICA !!!, Is this a GREAT Country ????, Think about it !

Nice ride ... Thanks

[@thesprinklerguy2598]

How do you find out what tracks you can ride? I live in Michigan and know several but don't even know if its legal. would be a fun hobby this year all considering.

Nice.nice nice.........where is it.?

[@twinvideoproduction9662]

Fantastic video and scenery my friend. Is permit required to ride on these tracks?

[@Eriks191]

Twin Video Production yes I did obtain permission to ride here by the Nevada Northern.

[@timf2279]

God bless America!

[@ktpinnacle]

What kind of range do you have, and how far can you normally go on an excursion? How much homework do you do to be sure your ride doesn't end a mile down the track?

[@milspecmachine3014]

Are you able to give me any information on where this particular track is located please? My father has a really sweet speeder and he and I are looking for some abandoned track in Nevada that is open to rail fans . Thank you for any help in advance and thank you so much for sharing your videos. 👍🏽😎

[@Eriks191]

Milspec Machine there is not much abandoned lines in Nevada. This video is from the Nevada Northern Railway. Not sure if they will let you ride. I volunteer there and have permission. They don’t always let people ride.

[@timf2279]

@@Eriks191 what about the line to cherry creek?

[@jacobit540]

Adorei esse vídeo, me fez lembrar-se de mim e sentir saudades da minha infância.

[@larryprimm5204]

I have a question, do you need to get permission from the railroad apartment or Bruerow of Land Management?

[@larryprimm5204]

Department of railroads

[@Eriks191]

You should always ask for permission to ride from the owner of the railroad. I had permission from NNRY to ride here. Any railroad is private property.

[@rb30athorn]

How hard is it to pedal?

[@connor7120]

Ben Moore it’s like a regular bike

[@connor7120]

Almost like an electric bike because of momentum and not having to stop it just carries you down most of the time

[@paullangford8179]

You should put a bimini top on that. Reduces the broil factor.

[@donnappleby1070]

What is the Bluegrass tune played at the end of this video?

So you get to the EOL do you have reverse or do you have to turn it around? Looks frelling heavy.......

Devendra this is the end of the line today. Originally the line ran further into the big smelter where the ore was deposited and smelted. This was a railroad the hauled tons of copper ore and pure copper.
