What a difference 16 years can make. Surprised fence across right-of-way North & South and still have vertical posts so can not drive in either direction behind fences. Thanks for keeping us informed.

It's supposed to be turned into a hiking trail. l heard a rumor someone spotted some pollution somewhere and it got axed. Thanks as always for your views and comments, Duane!

Wow 2004, that takes me back to simpler times as a young whipper snapper and that summer was the first year that I've seen a tornado with my own eyes, talk about freaky stuff and being paranoid. As for this it's amazing how 16 years can change an area so drastically.

[@railrol82]

That's one of the items on my bucket list. I've always wanted to see a tornado up close. I'm a severe weather enthusiast. Every time a hurricane makes landfall in South FL, I try my best to be there to see its outer bands. Thanks as always for your views and comments!

[@Computist40]

@@railrol82 It can get rather intense, we had a nasty storm last July that had hurricane force gusts, no tornadoes, but just an insane amount of wind. I can send you a video link on that from Appleton city cameras. We didn't have power for about 4 hours by me, but Appleton was much longer.

Great video. Imagine if all the tracks they abandoned were still in use. There would be less trucks and cars on the road.

You would think they might consider leaving the track in place and pouring concrete between the rails. Forms and base is already in place. Instant walk/bike path for folks. Nah, makes too much sense! Great archaeological work Roly! Stay safe! Cheers, Danny

There’s an old spur line that used to connect the B&O Railroad from Hagerstown to Brunswick (MD) that suffered a similar fate-after the decline of passenger service and building of state and US highways across the line at various points, the majority of the line is nothing more than railroad grading and old bridge foundations. Part of the line still exists, but only as a single track whose current terminus is the scrap metal recycling plant on the southern edge of the Hagerstown zip code (I think;I have to double-check the map). The last train station on the line was demolished in 2006, and talks of making the line a rail trail stalled out several years later. I’ve followed it both in my car and on a topography map, so I can tell you where it was/is. Maybe sometime I’ll make a video series about it. At any rate, it’s sad to see rail lines disappear with barely even a trace left to show their existence, but it’s heartening to see that you care! Thanks, Roly!

[@railrol82]

There is nothing more sad than wasted potential and history my friend. I saw these historic lines in action as a kid, so l will always care. Thanks as always for the views and comments!

[@midwestmodelrailroadworkshop]

These are definitely the sad videos my friend. I'd rather see them just leave all the abandoned track behind like on the homestead sub than not have any track left. Great video Roly!

Great minds think alike, Blake. Just leave them there and let them go gracefully as nature intended. Hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks as always for the views and comments!

[@thomasmackowiak]

Thank you for the follow-up on this line. It is interesting to see what things look like today. Is there fencing to block access to the Right of Way at the next road crossings north or south of this location? Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@gtavstepfordcounty1733]

According to Google maps there is

[@railrol82]

Thomas- Yes, there is no access at all to the ROW. It is fenced off at every single crossing. The only access is the 1st video l did on this series, which is the section next to the canal that has about 100 feet of still in place with trees growing through them. Thanks as always for the views and comments!

The view of the tracks made me think the line could have been a tourist railroad

[@drummachine434]

It's crazy to think what was once a thriving active railroad then 10 years later it goes POOF gone. In my town there used to be an entire freight yard in my town 40 years ago and u go there today and you won't even know it was there. I wonder how many railroads will still exist like 30 years from now, cuz it seems like every other year there's just more abandoned railroads, hopefully I'm wrong but we'll find out later

There's still markings left of RR history. Nice post. Not to change the topic, but are you still selling spikes? Thanks again

It was too complicated to sell them with shipping charges and packing so no more spikes for sale : / Thanks as always for your views and comments!

[@izzymillar4568]

That's a good question if FEC Still owns that property ithink they may still do and if they do then they should of invested into expanding Brightline to go more south like to a kendall station or something like that. Like what u said.

Unfortunately, I found out FEC sold the land to Miami Dade County. Thanks as always for the views and comments!

[@melperry3576]

what kind of pollution? and where? you would have thought that they would have posted warnings? besides fenceing

[@TheSchizoTrollinator]

I think it is because they don’t want to be responsible for a injury across the fence saying something like “if you cross and get injured it is not our fault because we already had the fence there.” But still they should have a few more signs

[@railrol82]

I see your point. I only heard that rumor about pollution once, so you may be right. Thanks as always for the views and comments!
