Wonder where I can find some abandoned tracks like these guys found, around here.
I hate to say it, but you're right, it does look like fun. Probably something I would have tried in my "young and dumb" days. Heck, to be perfectly honest, under the right circumstances I would still consider it...................then do it at least once. But only if the tracks were truly abandoned.
As a small boy, 50 years ago, I can remember riding the rails on a Saturday night in an old Model T. They just let the air out of the tires and drove it onto the tracks. We then drove down the tracks 10 miles to the next town. The train only came once a week on that line so it was pretty safe to use it any other time. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat. It was a real blast.
But only if the tracks were truly abandoned.
