The Most Ive EVER Paid For Gas - Road Trip Thru Donner Pass / Thunder Mountain Park & Train Watching

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram- AdamTheWooATW I love being on the road and seeing and doing stuff . Thanks for having an interest in what I do , it adds to the fun

[@calvintrainstation]

Check out the Tehachapi Loop if you like trains and in the area for content, California historical landmark east of Bakersfield, i film in that area for my channel.

Hey Adam hope you're good..... Gas here in the UK is even more expensive currently just over £6 a gallon that's around $7.50 US, keep smiling ...stay safe :)

[@chhook949]

Your FUN Is Our FUN Thanks For The Ride! Be Well. Be Safe & Stay Blessed.

[@dismommy512]

Thank you Adam!

[@JNC1973]

I figured you would have passed through LasVegas while making your way through Nevada. Was thinking maybe you'd swing by to see the auto exhibit from the History tv show Counting Cars but clearly you took a different route. I'm sure as you make your way through Cali that's where we'll see all kinds of madness. Looking foward to seeing tomorrows video. I drink my wake up coffee every morning while watching your daily videos. You've become part of my routine lol. ☕

[@Used2flyn]

The RR track maintenance train was amazing. You find the coolest parts of America to document! Thanks Adam! 👍🏼

[@naysmith5272]

In the UK the gauge is to small to have the diggers on top of the train as in this video. I love the way they move on rails on top of the train. Like a railway on a railway, could imagine the guy that came up with that idea.

[@johndreker1613]

I have a great story about that "random wall". My mom's uncle was hired to freshen up the paint job on it. The guy came out to the job, had the paint, paid him $75, made him stop for snacks and a drink that were provided for free, and then when it was finished, he got a $10 tip. He then asked the guy if he needed a receipt and he said no. My relative said, well don't you need to turn it in for the park budget and the guy said "I lied about that, I just see this all of the time and thought it needed fresh paint, so I hired you". He then hands my mom's uncle a $5 bill to not tell anyone, then started giving him stuff, like another bottle of water and a nutri-grain bar (which he brought as the snacks). He then gave him another $1, a wheatback penny and a keychain off of his own key ring that was from his visit to the Alamo, and then finally said "keep the extra paint", and then drove off. My mom's uncle had us all laughing telling the story, and he just said "It got really strange, but I wanted to see where he would go with handing me stuff"

Once again - you prove when you slow down and look at the world you are actually living in, it can become the most awesome and fascinating place. I was in from the train opening - don't you wonder sometimes how it is YOU, @AdamtheWoo, who gets to be present at these precious moments in time? Who ELSE gets to SEE this cool stuff??

Once again, you've hit on a marvelous thing that many of us didn't know existed. I'm talking the train thing, which was ever interesting.

[@TampaJay]

The Donner stuff was cool to see. There was a little irony there, that you paid the ultimate price for Gas in Donner. Glad you made it man! You packed a ton into such a short time. Well done.

[@prissymissliesl]

This is World really has so much adventure & exploring to offer. Thanks for taking us along!!

Hearing about the Donner party makes me appreciate modern life even more. Thank You to all of the pioneers who braved the harsh wilderness to expand America and make it what it has become today. May they all rest in peace.

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Wow, that's how HOME DEPOT gets their railroad ties! 🤯 Those trains collect them as they are dismantling the older wooden tracks! I use to work for Home Depot as a cashier. We sold those in the garden section, and me knowing how heavy they are until now I so always marveled at how possibly they were collected. 🤯 People use them as repurposed wood for fencing and flooring.

[@naysmith5272]

it was cool to see.

[@mham1330]

People will use railroad ties for boarding their gardens.

[@iworkout6912]

Thanks for showing Nevada that most visitors never see, or bother to look at. I have spent years exploring Nevada and even now I haven't seen some of the places you have stopped at. Mostly because I'm not on I-80 all that much. Driving my rental car in areas where probably the rental agreement doesn't like. Driving through heavy snow in the dirt roads in the mountains, etc. Once had to stop and give my rental a good wash before returning it to Hertz, so they wouldn't see the big mess I made of their car. (dirt and mud) Keep up the good work, great video.

[@BattleBornCowboy]

I can't believe Adam the Woo came to Fernley and didn't even stop by to say hi to his fans! Glad to see our little town get some fame.

I loved this road trip. You stayed mostly on Interstates but showed some off the road sites. It was also a much different route than you normally take. I saw things I had never seen before. Thank you for bringing us along!

[@pgdbrk06]

Loving this series! I've done I-80 from the East coast to San Francisco and really enjoyed it. It's a uniquely American experience.

[@three6ohchris]

If you guys think that maintenance train with the machinery on top picking up the old ties is awesome, you should look up the train system that goes through and will simultaneously lift the track, remove old and worn out ties, clear the ballast (rocks that the rail and ties sit on) away as they put a brand new tie down, then it fastens the rail to the tie and refills any areas that need more ballast. It's like a assembly of line type setup and it just slowly goes down the track fixing and replacing the ties and any rail that's damaged. One of the coolest things out there on the rail, right along with the giant snow blowers they've got as well. So fascinating!

[@adventuresofchris9870]

Living in the uk and watching Adam bring some amazing places is incredible So grateful might woo Really am 😃😃

[@sandraadams6988]

I love when you go on your road trips. We have such a beautiful country. Than you for taking us along with you. You are going to places I may never see in my life.

[@leecrowder4934]

I love watching your videos. Even when I’m having a bad day I can “escape” for a bit and think of something else. Thanks for sharing these!!!!

[@88ChrisN]

That train at the beginning was very fascinating. Never saw that before. I’m liking these travel vlogs a lot. Can’t afford to travel so I will just sit on my couch and watch Adam the Woo do all the traveling.

[@nicolehanifan3823]

Good morning it was awesome to see you cover some of the spots near where I live. Have to admit when I went to lunch yesterday at one of our local truck stops in Fernley NV was hoping to run into you. There are so many small towns and ghost towns in Nevada you would love to explore. When you go back east and if you go through the northern part of the state you should take highway 50.

[@swearenginlawanda]

Watched a video the other day on the "lonestly road" US 50. Really cool

[@hittheroadwithsteveandsandee]

The train picking up ties was very cool to see and all the other stops were incredible. Thank you so much for taking us along. We can't wait till we can get out on our vacation 🙂

This reminds me of old school Woo from back when I first saw your videos. I got my stickers in the mail yesterday, thank you very much! Safe travels to you Adam!!

[@ps3790]

I have seen lots of trains, but never seen a maintenance train like that one. Very cool! Sometimes its the little unexpected things like that I find more fascinating than other roadside oddities.

[@dianewilson5516]

My brother Eric, his wife, Iris and I went to Reno back in 1987. We stayed in a motel in Reno for a few days, and we also took a tour bus to Virginia City. We had a lot of fun. At least 2 mornings, we got up to find ashes on my car. Going home through Donner Pass, I saw flames only a few yards from the road. I sped up to get out of there. I had a 1973 Dodge Dart at the time. Wow, seeing that gas station sign brought some memories to mind!

[@kevincallahan4013]

Yep, you've found a place that outdoes Washington state. We're currently averaging $5.50, and that isn't a station out in the middle of nowhere, that's suburban Seattle!

Great to see you roaming the country again bro! Cheers and drive safe! 👍🏼

[@Sunny8888]

Lot's of cool footage . . . again! I never realized railroads could retrieve old track remains using machinery mounted on top of train cars like that. The last remains of the snowy season are slow to go but sometimes will be missed. Let's hope the gas prices level off!!!

[@jimhaines8370]

The train is called a Maintenance of Way work train and those are RailRoad Ties and yes John Goodman was an exterminator in the movie

[@mrsjbz2164]

If you get the chance while in Northern CA, go check out the smallest mountain range in the world. :) They are called the Sutter Buttes and they are about an hour north of Sacramento. Yuba City is nearby and that is my hometown, although I live in Florida, now.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Sounds really interesting . Thanks for the heads up

[@RJStockton]

@@TheDailyWoo It's not really worth it. Fun fact though -- If you extend the Mason-Dixon Line west from the PA/MD border, it runs almost exactly halfway between Yuba City and Sacramento. Technically, most of California is in the South.

I'm so glad you took the northern way to CA this time. Something different than your usual route. Nice to see northern CA in your vlogs also. I'm still waiting for the day you make one of your road trips all the way up the east coast through NY, and maybe into Maine. That would be awesome to see. I would really love to see you come through Long Island where I live. We have ferries off the east end of Long Island that go to Connecticut, so you could drive through NYC and then make your way all the way through Long Island, then onto Connecticut. Please consider it. The north east needs the Adam The Woo road trip vlog treatment. Safe travels my friend.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It will happen . I love traveling and trying to get to areas I haven’t hit up as much

[@Geneswagger]

They're picking up old railroad ties that have been replaced; they also place the new ones by the rails to replace old worn out ones.

[@stuartrn74]

In the UK we pay for our gas by the litre not the gallon. We worked out that the high price you paid for a gallon would roughly equate to £1.04 a litre. We are currently paying from between £1.59 to £1.65 per litre. Stay safe and much love.

[@rodfryatt4266]

@@margietucker1719 In the part of the country where I live, when I stop at a RR crossing it is usually just two or four railcars. One of those US freight trains would not be able to move in the UK as it would stretch from coast to coast!

[@mungodarkmatter]

Was interesting to see the railroad maintenance train. I have never seen one exactly like that, but I live next to the railroad and the have some really bizarre looking maintenance vehicles and trains that I see from time to time. Some of them look like Rube Goldberg contraptions. They have ballasting cleaning machines that remind me of something from a Dr. Phibes movie. They also tend to leave railroad ties and scrap metal from railroad repairs and maintenance for someone else to pick up later. In fact, sometimes they forget to pick it up for a while, or do not get to it for a while.

[@cumberlandite56]

That track machinery moving along the top of the train car, picking up railroad ties was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

I've seen trains on the east coast that pick up ties and the boom arm is usually part of the hopper car, or it's a trackhoe on a flatbed car between hopper cars. I've never seen equipment that can roll around on the top of train cars. Must be for a crew that does hundreds of miles of rails before they can drop off the ties, so they need to be able to utilize multiple hopper cars.

[@crewleaderprods]

That train was Union Pacific's "Maintenance of Way Tie Pickup Work Equipment". A tie gang went through recently replacing ties and this train picks the replaced ties up. This train basically replaces a couple of locomotives hauling gondola cars.
