  • I got a headache just trying to understand what NBECMich was talking about

  • That is good track. It cracks me up when people think they know so much about the railroad. As long as the majority of spikes are holding, the track is safe. Many spikes work loose from the pumping action of the train. The track is still safe. That is straight track and there is very little movement of the track, except for the vertical motion of the pumping action. Even loose spikes will wold the rail in place. The anchor could easily have been leftover from previous repairs.

  • @NBECMich

    There were so many grammatical errors in that sentence, I had to stop just to comment. How are you gonna lecture people on the fundamental rights of humans when you couldn't pass basic English.

  • Tresspassing on land seized by eminent domain? Owned by robber barons but reclaimed by hobos and graffiti artists. The ghosts of the chinese won't mind.

  • looks like pretty good track to me those ties aren't that bad and didn't look like there was alot of mud i'd say its good for at least 45 judging by the video alone. you'd be surprised what trains can get over

  • The most dangerous thing taking place here is that the individuals in this video are trespassing on other people's property and "messing around" with things they know NOTHING about.

  • if the spikes were all coming out on the low side of a curve . it could be real bad

  • got milk

  • this comment if for railrunneradrian,,,Yes it illegal to be on railway proprety and it call stilling railway proprety just to take a single spike,,,but you have no right to wish arm like that to people,,,to wish someone being cauld or hit just because of tresspassing is rongue,,controlle watt you saying it not like they were attacking people there they were just at the rong place takink scrap it not the end of the world,,even if it does belonge the the railway,,it could turn again you

  • i do the same thing all the time but not on active tracks on tracks that are marked abandoned
