- In the first of 2 installments of this series, you will see the steeple cab pulling 2 new cars that were built this year. The first one is a gondola type car that is used for hauling tools needed for track maintenance, and the 2nd car is a bottom dump hopper used for moving soil or rock. Both of these cars are double truck, unlike many of the other cars on the line which gives them ability to handle much more weight with less chance of derailing. 2nd video to come later. Enjoy!
I grew up watching these videos when I was 8 years old I'm now 19 happy to see RRVT is still kicking!
Thanks for sticking around!
So glad to see you guys back posting action on the railroad. I know he would be happy to see his legacy live on! thanks for sharing.
Yowza, words cannot describe how fantastic this video turned out! I love the shot you got with the train flying around the curve after the straightaway, the whole video just blew me away!!
I would be riding those rails from sun up till sundown lol awesome 👏
That thing is big and has really got to have some power!
It does have quite a bit of power for its size, it pulls all the cars I have no problem!
Awesome! Lovely railway
I love tain it is so kool keep up the wonderful work you do for the people to see it
Your fan sandra.s Boston mass 🇺🇸
Another great video! Look foreword to part 2
Man this is awesome!
KOOL BUT YOU REALLY NEED TO GET A LIVE STEAM ENGINE FOR THE FULL EFFECT.
Amazingly awesome!
This is just outstanding. How many acres does the RR sit on? Would love to hear about the history behind your railroad.
It on about 15 acres. I'll make a history video one of these days. Probably should next year since it will be the 70th anniversary!
nice video 👍👍👍
❤Nice view❤👍
I would love to take a ride.... 🙂
I think the most impressive thing is all the overhead wiring. Is the railway just a hobby or does it have some form of commercial/public use as well?
Its just for fun. This is what happens when people like me don't get locked up in the nut house 😂
Really cool set up !
I didn't realize your line was electrified ? Until this video...the one I watched yesterday was the " Cab ride view" therefore I couldn't see what type of power you were using.
Really really cool layout... How many acres do you have for all that track ?
I've been thinking about doing this on my 10 acres of woods being I have all the equipment necessary for the excavating 🤣
This is on about a 15 acre plot.
Words can of describe how much I love this little railway. I’m rather curious about the track to the right at 1:05, washed out I take it?
That track was originally a maintenance trestle. Years ago the creek was about 50 feet from the track, which went up an incline made of 6x6's. It was open on the bottom and we used this to do work under the equipment. Eventually the creek shifted locations and now is eating away at the bank, the maintenance trestle itself was consumed by the creek about 5 years ago. I have left the track and switch in place to dump rip rap along the bank as I acquire it, this has pretty much stopped the advancement of the bank decay. Without it, the mainline itself would be gone in a few more years!
Where is this located and what purpose was this rail line originally built for ? How are you paying for it's upkeep now ? It certainly isn't a freight line !
Its a hobby.
What kind of traction motors do you use and where do you get them? Are they capable of dynamic breaking?
They are golf cart motors. DB could be added with a little extra circuitry.
What guage tracks are you using an where do I find ?
It is 24" gauge. Most of the rail came from abandoned mines or factories.
@@CNW4145 gotcha thanks
Could somebody please tell me what location that is ? It's America ... northern vegetation ... electrified ... Canada ???
The answer is in the channel description.
Is he electrical?
Yes
Why don't you build carriages to haul visitors around, why just have the fun for yourself? You could also make some MONEY of (at reasonable prices that all could easily afford) of offering rides in that nice countryside. Be worth considering.
The problem is that here in the USA it requires a LOT of liability insurance because people here like to sue you for silly reasons. So it is not really possible to make enough money to cover that, and I do not need all the drama that comes with the public..
What is the power source?
overhead catenary energized with 250V AC power.
