    How encouraging to see something like this during these days when rail infrastructure is fast disappearing! Thanks for documenting and sharing!

    1920's filming style -track workers speeded up at 27:13 !! Great job - will there be a switch at both ends, to enable a pull through ??

    Were they able to use the old rails or did they need replacement? Also, I like seeing old tracks being resurrected and being put to use again.

      That’s a great question. I was wondering how the proposed new Sagamore bridge replacement will impact this area? Obviously they’ll be going over this track somewhere, but I was wondering if it will be on the east or west side of the current bridge?

      ​@@jerrys9226Contact the Corps of Engineers they may have some idea. I wager one bridge will cost half of the Big Dig pricetag.

    That old ATSF geep is just what ATSF was using in Wichita when the city thought theyd put some grade crossings across the retched remnant of the old Englewood District. ATSF said Hell no. Now Wi hita has some dead end streets, and Watco doesnt hafta deal with those grade crossings that never happened.

    I remember. Well done. September 2024 ??? You mean 2023 to start ? I’m curious - rolling forward to this past summer, “First paid freight since 2011” - what kind of freight, and with the two cars left well beyond the shelter, how will the company move the cars around to either unload or load them ? Thank you.

    Nice to see an old siding brought back to life. Tell me please, was there a pit in place before, or is it new and what is the purpose of it?

    • @ajknaup3530
      @ajknaup3530 3 місяці тому +1

      I think "siding" in this case refers to the siderail which forks off the main track, allowing rail access, in this situation, to the white building which has the old gondola parked in it at the video's opening scene.

  • @Jeff-fx1zy
    @Jeff-fx1zy 3 місяці тому +12

    It was never "abandoned" in the first place. The railroad owned it, and reserved the right to restore it to service at their deception. That city,county,township,state, asphalt over the rails never meant a damn thing. That was always railroad property. Anybody who thought not could get a reeducation real quick.

    I know you want to make it look interesting, but watching this on my 55" TV makes me seasick with all the fast zooms and pans. Better to take short 3-5 second shots, then zoom or move a bit, and shoot some more. If it is live action, and you don't want to miss anything, then you want to do slower moves and zooms.

      The abandoned line was abandoned because of the decline of business, no revenue, no reason to need it and government doesn't care, it's now a tax wright off and America continues to die and government continues to kill off our country.
