Always glad to see your dedication and enthusiasm to this, Brian. You and Graham have come a long way in a very short time. Something to be proud of.

Good Morning Brian. As much as I admire your determination and your desire to see this through alone, please consider this viewpoint: just because someone wants to help doesn't equate to wanting part of the spoils. Case in point: I have a very dear friend that has operated a sole proprietorship small engine shop for over 15 years; he started by walking out of a hostile work environment and started with only the toolbox and a small shop. People believed in him and not only were flexible in terms of the rent, but I have helped him the entire time, seeking nothing but his success. This is not to pat myself on the back but to show there are those out there that also want to see the Dream come true and are willing to support in whatever way they can, asking for nothing but the success of the endeavor. My friend was recently hospitalized with chest pains'; when he was able to speak he asked his wife to make 2 calls, one to one of his children and the other to me. While it was touch and go for a while, he has recovered.

Never hurts to have a good relationship with another railroad. Case in point, years back I needed a used switch (new ones were sky high) to drop a new 1/4 mile spur for a warehouse siding into a chemical plant I managed. We already had two similar-sized sidings and we'd often allow the local Class II Short-line to push cars onto our track for free storage over weekends and the like. Long story short, they sold us all the used rail and ties we needed for the new track at a great price, and said, "Hey, we've got an old switch you can have if you want it. You sign a release of liability and it's yours." That was in '98 and it's still in use today. Love the videos Bro...

What strength,endurance and mental toughness the

Cars on the rail! A cause for celebration when you consider the condition of the line when you all started. A sign of good things to come.

Rent / but yourself a gas powered log chipper, mount it on the p-way trolley, then you can use the grab on the truck to load the chipper and just throw it back to the side a mulch. The bonus is the layer of chip will stop the smaller weeds growning

My son and I have been watching since the git go. You guys are doing a phenomenal job and we look forward to seeing many more videos documenting the growth of your railroad.

Your hard work is paying off. Maybe not monetarily yet, but in satisfaction of how far you've come so far.

Congratulations Brian on your full length run of the line! I know it meant a lot to you personally and is a great accomplishment for your first year of operation.

Hello from Ottawa Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 part of the freedom convoy but had to stop somewhere with wifi to watch your video 🙂

You have all this heavy machinery doing various tasks except when you cut brush, then you break out the daintiest tool you can find and get to work. Wax on wax off danielson 😋. Love my new T-shirt. Will be wearing it this weekend.

Great video Brian. I certainly can appreciate your point of view with respect to doing this work yourself. Please keep in mind that my labor will cost you an endless supply of coffee and White Castle, so technically I'd be a paid contractor. 😉

This was a great video . Thank you. Not everyone has ever seen a high rail vehicle going on or off the rails.. It is very nice to see all your hard work paying off . The ETR is looking great.

Determination and hard work goes along side by side ! Thanks for sharing all the videos, enjoyed watching them ! ETR is coming along nicely!

Awesome job with what you guys have done so far, a lot has already been accomplished

I wish you knew how bad I would like to come there and help clear the path

hey Brian.... that was an excellent explanation..... wish some of our politicians could be so straight forward and to the

you guys are killing it. much love

Congrats on traversing the whole line! Excellent progress!

Fantastic. I have really enjoyed the trip and look forward to the next chapter.
