  • To bad you can't turn it into a tourist expanse or a rail-trail with the line being used for trolly and hobby builds....sad to see it like that.

  • @Centaurmanexe ....There was a gentleman that tried to get funds to use the full original line as a trolly/tourist line before all the rails were removed but back in those there wasn't much interest in that sort of stuff and gas was much cheaper.

  • Wow thats amazing. How long is the remaining trackage? And I love the wooden trestle. Thanks for sharing

  • Thanks for your comment. There are only about 3 miles of the original ONMP trackage left. BNSF still uses 2 miles of it to serve the Michelin Plant, the remaining 1 mile is the abandoned portion in the video. Wish it still ran to Ringling. I have lots of memories and photos of when it did.

  • I just want to say thanks for sharing. I feel very sad when I watch this for some reason but it is very good work.

  • Thanks for your comment. Our world is changing so fast now days and I feel the younger generation is missing out on a great way of life that was experienced during the "golden" days of the railroads.
