The South Carolina Railroad Museum has 11.5 miles of track that was once the Rockton & Rion Railway. The western 6.5 miles of track is known as the Museum's "West End" and is more than 40 years old and badly overgrown with weeds and small trees. A small crew is clearing and reopening this track. The video is taken through the windshield of a small self-propelled railroad motor car known as a speeder. The speeder was moving at idle speed and had already made three trips through the weeds that morning before the video was shot.

  • Hopefully the woodland hikers will not be trespassing on the railroad right-of-way!

  • What will happen if there was a tree on the way????

  • @lmju1982 We had already been back & forth on that track many times that day and we cleared all of the trees and obstructions.

  • We used RoundUp which is an effect herbicide that lands on the green leafs and stays there! It is the least destructive to the environment!

    The track is now used regularly and weed control is a continuing operation.

    All roads and railroads fight weeds constantly. It is a fact of life!

  • What? It's just a track with a lot of growth on either si- WHOA-OH-OH IT'S MAGIC!

  • Among all the dangers a woodland hiker faces, a self propelled rail car is probably the least expected.
