    The hard work recovering the track for use again was really commendable. It's pleasing to see a resurgence of older tracks being reinstated as it is here in the UK. Keep up the good work.

    Enjoy these videos. Particularly the lack of music - music isn't necessary. Thanks!

    It looks so cool seeing trains on abandon tracks, or inactive ones

    If this is where I think it is, I saw a number of empty hoppers(?...i was doing 50mph on 27) stored there. Much better than seeing weedy, abandoned tracks. Thank you.

    Did the 1701 engine have a hard time starting up because it was sitting there a long time just wanted to know thanks awesome video

      They occasionally did maintenance and started the engine several times while the track wasn’t used so it wasn’t that bad

    Are cars still there being unloaded? I want to see the return trip.

    I noticed they did a good job weeding the line but is the roadbed safe considering it’s buried

    Did you get any video of the overgrowth clearing? What attachment did that backhoe have and how did it work?

    So they spend thousands of dollars clearing tracks , just to store empty railcars ?

    • @SouthCoastRailVideos
      @SouthCoastRailVideos  2 роки тому +2

      Nope because those were loaded cars going to a customer
