this looks more like a switching area than a yard. its way to small to be a yard.

@Darkkheart420 it use to be the entire area. all the builds around it were train tracks at one point

[username5515]

does it still conect to a main line?

[paintballsniper5]

@username5515 yes

This looks to me like narrow guage. Probably served local companys

[paintballsniper5]

@shnimmuc naw my old camera makes it look like that, its really 4ft by 8 and 1/2

My guess is that this "yard" is part of the industrial property which it served. To remove the tracks would devalue the property.

Nice video. Have always been fascinated by abandoned tracks, etc.

@paintballsniper5

Does it still connected to the main railroad lines. Why would they leave those railroad track there? They should take off the railroad tracks it would just get in the way.

Dude, they are heavy as hell (roughly 155lb per yard). Now if I could steal one, with that kind of physical strength, I would.

@SidVanRyswyk Oh, so you tried, huh. It just amazes me, that no one has stolen the rails, cause you here all the time of people climbing 40 ft extension ladders onto church roofs to steal copper, and other metals. So if they go to that extent on stealing things, the rails are right on the ground.

@JamesReadythe5th It's really difficult to steal steel rails, trust me...

[JamesReadythe5th]

Look at all that money in scrap steel rails just sitting there. I'm surprised no ones stolen them.
