...years ago, I was told somewhere along that stretch there near Beardmore is a sand pit that contains some alluvial/eluvial gold...

[@padwrr]

Lots of pits along this section of the line. There's a big one just east of this area alongside the Kinghorn Road.

Some people also... we had a neighbor once who did this... used the old telephone poles for stringing laundry lines.

[@bludthinkhecool]

Let's just hope those poles aren't electrified

I want to say they cost a couple bucks each. Some people used them for retaining walls.

[@154Colin]

At first I though coupler pin, but then I though the hole was too small and tended to be a different shape at the top. 🤷‍♂

Kohut mean Rooster in Ukrainian. He was quite proud of the fact.

[@padwrr]

Nice. Interesting about the name...I'll have to remember that.

broken knuckle pin

[@padwrr]

Thanks. Knew it had to be something railway related.

[@stevenolson8504]

Maybe a fat tire bike would ride better on the ballast

[@padwrr]

I've thought of that. Not sure if it will make enough of a difference to offset buying another bike. Unfortunately this is not a cheap hobby with all the driving that is involved.
