Tennessee Pass - Part 2 - Railroad - Rail Cart - The Rocket Scientist

Come ride with us as we explore the old abandon "Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad", (DRWG) while we cross the Continental Divide. In this series of videos (this is part 2 of 36 parts), you will see ten of us with 4 homemade rail carts, 2 with motors, 1 with a motor and peddle power combined, and 1 with peddle power only (which we towed with another rail cart when needed) tackling the 10,000 plus foot altitude in the Colorado High Mountains. During this adventure you will see us traveling through tunnels, crossing trestles and going under arch bridges. You will see rockslides, streams, rivers, ponds and waterfalls. We will also be passing through old, abandoned Copper Mining operations, and sidings. There will be many towering mountains, valleys, meadows, woods, open fields, huge pastures and small towns in the middle of nowhere. And don't forget the wildlife. Please Like, Share and Subscribe! Thanks for Watching!

Those wooden poles at the tunnel is a rock slide protection. If the wires were broken, a light would pop up on the dispatchers desk as well as drop the nearest signals red. This would alert the engineer to stop, preventing a wreck.

Are there clubs or groups that go on outings like this? I really like to know.

Friends and word of mouth is the most common

This is trespassing on railroad property which is a federal offense and punishable with fines and jail time. The Union Pacific still owns this

Only if you are stupid enough to get caught! Party Pooper!
