Extreme Railbiking is about a bunch of fanatic railbikers that have been riding for over 40 years. Abandoned Railroads are scattered around the world. Rail Bikes must be properly designed to be safe. This video takes place on the Camas Prairie Railroad,
TOPICS: Hobbies; Outdoors
KEYWORDS: biking; railroad
Pretty fun...and pretty scary,

Those are not bikes, they are tricycles.
Watching them cross those rail bridges made me think, they most be a little crazy, even bordering on cyclepathic;)

They are bikes with a training wheel for those who don't have perfect balance.

Not sure why, but watching the video reminded me of Wile E. Coyote. I kept expecting an oncoming train to appear out of nowhere.
I think I need more coffee this morning. Or maybe less.

I dealt with several sawmills that were at one time served by this railroad. It was abandoned because there were too many bridges to maintain. The last owner actually bought it for the scrap value of the steel rails. He continued to run it for a few years until there were just too many derailments. None were serious, they were going too slow.
To: Osage Orange
it is hard to believe they were running small trains on this just a couple years back.

Lol... Where did you happen to come up with that?
To: Osage Orange
That looks like fun. I might have to check that out next summer when I'm in Idaho.
If you remember the Charles Bronson movie "Breakheart Pass." It was filmed in this area using some of those old trestle bridges.

I am actually surprised the steel rails are still on this railbed. As I stated in my previous post, the owner bought the RR for its scrap value of the steel rails. I would have thought they would all be gone by now.
To: woodbutcher1963
It is surprising....but a good surprise!!
I'd love to try it....
