Abandoned Railroad, ONMP, the Ringling Road

aww poor tracks
wish they wer still used..

Very interesting! Surprised the rails are still there! You can almost sense the history..like being there. When viewing under the bridge, I was visioning a train roaring overhead! We have lots of abandonned lines in our area(Kingston Ontario) to explore!
Please feel free to check out my channel!

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. I'll check out your channel.

I love doing this, and have found a number of amazing lines all over OK. It's a great hobby!

Great stuff! I love how you captured the aura of history. There is another abandoned ROW in Holdenville. But that was the Rock Island. So this couldn't be the same line. Although I bet it met up or crossed this line somewhere?

Thanks for your nice comment. The original intentions of John Ringling was to run the line from Ardmore to Lawton and beyond, but it never got passed Ringling.

Love it. I hunt down old ROW's here in Oklahoma also. Nothing better to me than to grab my RR atlas & go on a road trip in search of these. I'm still finding them today.

Google Earth comes in handy also for following the old abandoned lines from high above.

I finally figured out that I could display the link to my photos on my YouTube Channel Page ( or home page ) so just click on "Railheadok" and it will take you there. You should then see the link.

I like checking out the old abandoned lines also. It's interesting to think about the towns, etc. they once served and in lots of cases the towns were built because of the RR. That's what happened with the towns along this line. Thanks for your comment, I'll check out your videos.
