Poor Abandoned Train Tracks

Hello, abandoned train tracks
You look so lonely now
With your tracks being cut off
To the rest of the world
Your bridge is still so beautiful
But its not used
As I was a child I remember this bridge
Being so useful to the rest of the world
Feeding the people of the north
Bringing them corn and grits
Now the only time I see you useful
When the rail yard near by
Puts some extra cars on you
To keep them out of the way

Oh beautiful train tracks
Your bridge is constructed so well
But has gone unused
In this new millennium
Of air travel and electronic communication
You are no longer useful
But appreciate the humans
That appreciate you
They don't cover you with graffiti
They just leave you alone
Looking at you
A well constructed set of rails
With your well constructed bridge
You make an excellent pathway
For walkers who want an interesting view
Of your surroundings

Yes, you were once king of this area
You were once important
To the transportation and industrial
Companies of this country
Bringing product, bringing people
To northern communities
But now
You cant even be used as a bike path
When you were abandoned
The thought of bike paths
Was not a known thought
Was not a common thought
Maybe one day
You will at least be
A wonderful bike path
I have great respect for you

[scooby19784]

its the line that goes up to St jacups

[DavidandI2]

no

that's the one that leaves the Waterloo park area not sure where this one went but it ends about 50 yards from where i was making this vid

[SomeNameUnknown]

Where is this old rail line and how long is it?

[DavidandI2]

It's In Kitchener Ontario Canada

If you are local I haven't checked your profile, it runs from the main Via Rail Line to the north and crosses Wellington St and kind of vanishes in the bushes and becomes a waling trail, I'm not sure how far it goes actually. I meant to follow it but I have moved from the neighbourhood since

Thanks for watching!

[DavidandI2]

*walking trail

I noticed in your profile you are not local so I guess you don't know where wellington st or maybe even kitchener is. It's about 60 miles west of Toronto. If you were to cross into Canada at Niagara/buffalo it's about 90 miles to the north/west.

Nice poetry.

[DavidandI2]

@DavidandI2

Why not just sell the railroad tracks. Hey they are abandon right no longer part of government property anymore.

[davidruedy]

WHY ARE THEY SOO WIDE? IV NEVER SEEN EM THAT WIDE THATS WHY THEY ARE NO LONGER USEFUL LIKE THE SONG SAYS

[daveni2]

@racksandrazors many years ago but today the track goes about another 200 ft passed the bridge. In my lifetime i don't remember it going anywhere there is hardly any evidence that it did, it almost looks like it was a line that was proposed but never completed or it just went to an old yard or factory that isn't there today.

[racksandrazors]

Did trains used to run on them?

[daveni2]

@racksandrazors listen to 1:12 and you will know :)

[racksandrazors]

The tracks look partially shiny it must be used once in a while

[metroliner89]

@OutlawzConnect1 Because it costs millions to take them out and even more to repair them... For one they were never finished and another they might start finishing it and using it again

[metroliner89]

People sometimes mistake Railways as unused! If the rails are still shiny on the top, Do not walk them! And if there not used theyre still owned and its tresspassing1

[werksdesign]

That would make a wonderful hike and bike trail....... long abandoned railroads still offer a lot uses.
