I had that same catalog, and in my early 20's I used to ride my gas powered bike (Homelite XL 925 chainsaw engine) everywhere, and built my own "rail rig" with some old crutches and inline skate wheels (and Harbor Freight Alumiweld rods 😂). I used the tracks that go from Downtown Grand Rapids, MI to Wyoming, MI to get to work successfully for about 2 years, until a Wyoming cop sternly lectured me at a street crossing...then I retired it. Good Times! I think a business for taking trips on abandoned tracks with motorized bicycles is a fantastic idea, I'd probably use my design as it folded up on the rack and you could ride it as a regular mountain bike still, and take on any terrain due to the powerful engine.

Have you seen the tv series “hell on wheels”? It’s about the building of the railways to the west after the civil war. It’s a drama of course but they show the building of the rails, trials and tribulations related to such a huge undertaking and there are some bridges they made. Some of the shows main characters were based off real folks who built the railways and approx timeline. It also shows the railways being built from the east to the west coming through the mountains. It’s an interesting show to be sure.

It's a testament to how our country linked east to west, and became the "United States" both despite and because of the ugly underbelly of the how and why it happened. Why would we want to not discuss our past? I mean, nobody said you should glorify the railroad tycoons. Ignoring the story of how the railroads were built is a disservice to those who built them - not the other way around.

As a former RR freight conductor I realize that those trestles are SCARY high and also that those little platforms that stick out are probably for conductors to stand on and do car counts and pull-bys (observing the train wheels etc). NOPE!!! Love the video!

Thank you so much for recording and sharing this. It looks extremely relaxing and serene, but I think the bridges would give me pause.

I crossed some rail tracks...just YESTERDAY...and thought to myself: "Gee, I wonder if I could rig my bike to travel down these lonesome tracks". Talk about premonitions! I HAVE to start work on it TODAY! Great job guys!

I LOVED seeing this, and had never heard about it before. What a sense of freedom, and connecting to our country's history.

Do it. I built 3 failures before i got one that was somewhat reliable and stable... even the one that worked had its warts. It is a wonderful creative process. Just build, and ride... you'll come back with new ideas, and get back to building anew. I do my most creative thinking just walking along the rails, looking at defects that don't bother trains, but really mess with a railbike. You'll also learn to read rust. One rail line I walked, had three short trains per week. I lived about a quarter mile from the track, and I'd hear it rolling through town just before noon. The train speed limit on these single track spurs is also slow, 15mph. The rail is also not welded, but bolted. This is a sure sign of slow, infrequent traffic. Good luck!

Careful selection of where to ride is obviously, the first decision to make. Next, is to observe the construction of the rail. Fish plates at rail joints means traffic is limited to 15 mph. Welded rail... NO. Next is the acquired skill of reading rust. If you love railroads, you walk rails, observe rail wear. Where our author is riding is abandoned, no train traffic.

Early 70s I had a friend who saw The Flim Flam Man movie and insisted we try that trick with his 60 something Pontiac Lemans. We first tried it on a side track between 2 crossings 1/4 mile apart. It worked so good we put it on the main and went several miles on an active track. This was in the prairie of MN Red River Valley, along and in plain sight of Hwy 75, on a Sunday afternoon an hour after the daily train had gone by. Our so called "measure of safety" was that we could see any train coming from miles away and had many crossings to get off at. I told that story to a co-worker about 1978 and he flat out called me a liar! A couple beers later--- we put the air tank in the trunk and drove my rusty 68 Firebird down to the tracks, lowered the front tire pressure and went 2 miles, turned around and went back, twice crossing the bridge over the Crow River between Rogers & Monticello MN. It was a dead end spur used occasionally to take freight in, or a nuclear waste shipment out, of the Monticello power plant. I have since watched Flim Flam Man and it looks fake! It would never have convinced me this was possible but we rolled along maybe 15-20 mph, smooth as silk and hands off the wheel. I do remember a little panic when we came to a siding switch, I grabbed the wheel to keep it straight, and you could feel car lift and settle just a bit as we crossed the switch diverge points.

Congratulation from Brazil! US Brother!!!

I was hoping for some mad mtb skills, when I saw the extreme part, however I thought that this was very cool, I would have liked to have had a go... thanks for the video, I enjoyed it immensely.

What a cool idea! Thanks for the great video!

I'd say that was extreme all right. Takes courage to cross bridges that high. My god. . I'm impressed. Must have been exhilarating. I'm envious.

"extreme" they went 5 km/h, if they went 50+ km/h then it would be extreme

Excellent video! And I love the music. That trestle must be close to the Goat Canyon Trestle in So Cal. Great Job, Thanks!

Thanks for the video! Never seen that before. Looks fun!

Almost gave me vertigo! I'd crap my pants just looking at that bridge, never mind actually crossing it. 😱

I know this is not the intent of this video but this would be an excellent way to travel in a grid down scenario.

Robert Blakemore Technically speaking yes but I bet there’d be some not so nice folks on the tracks too

I never cn nothing like that in my life. What a beautiful clear sunny day with fresh air. The views were epic I liked the music 2. The labor that went in2 building them hi in the sky rafters is mind blowing. Iam so impressed I'll watch it again. U people have ( guts) that's 1 hell of a hobby. GOD bless u & yr loved 1s with great health wealth happiness & wisdom. Then share it as freely as u shared yr video. I loved it. ☆

The views are breathtaking! My sister and I used to sing that song as a duet years ago, one of my favorites. You've got some amazing stamina, carrying your bike over mangled or covered track.

What an amazing experience this would be. Beautiful countryside too. Great for tourists too i'd expect.

I don't know how this ended up in my feed,but! By golly I enjoyed the music and the views. Thank you!😉👍

Love the music and views, such pretty places.

Great video! It looks so peaceful. And I do especially appreciate that permissions were aquired for both the music used and for the activity itself. Too many idiots do dangerous things without permission or steal music for their videos.

Good vedio.your song was beautiful.thats what we need in this day and time.. love

Great video and I like the song! She has a beautiful voice...and its the opinion of a city boy ;-)

I wonder how my road-race knees would handle this? Minimal hills - except that portage and climbing - carrying all that extra weight... groan....

The wooden bridge is amazing.

Wau! The Nature is so nice and beautiful! Great Video! 👌🏼

Nice stuff Peter. Your production work, again, just gorgeous. Presently railbike-less. As a first time homeowner, I've decades of domestic catch-up to do... but I've a workshop and plenty of original railbike ideas to follow through on... So many projects... yikes! I hope this note get in front of your eyes. Peace

Quite a bit of bicycle portage required on damaged rails.

oh what a nice video, with a very nice song?; i enjoyed it very well; thank very much for sharing it with us;
