@TIMMEH19991 original operations were abandoned in 1956. A local salvage yard guy bought it around 1960 and began restoring service from Orbisonia to 5 miles north. The area where this video was shot is the other end of the yard in Orbisonia. It is a shame the entire line is not restored. There are switch blades like that throughout the entire yard. It is amazing they have not been stolen. And a good thing too, people in this neck of the woods own guns....

That 3 way switch with the early victorian era style switch blades (1:43) is fookin hellfire! Its got to be rarer than rare! When was this line abandoned, and how come its all been left?

My first memories of being a railfan were speeders as much as trains! With five railroads growing up in Vancouver B.C., and being just a few blocks from two railroads, i saw speeders all the time in the 60's and 70's. By 1984 high rail trucks had replaced speeders. BC "Hydro" Railway had a near new speeder sitting outside their shops for two years. I finally went inside one day to ask if i could buy it. A guy told me they junked it and would have given it away for free! I still Pain over it!

Neat little thing wish I had one of those!!

just doing casual glances, The road north is the better choice to go. The bridges seem to be structurely sound, and just have to pull (a lot of ) trees out of the trackbed and rebuild the wye
