Wow, wouldn’t this be fun! We live in Qualicum right along the rail way tracks. My hubby has been wanting to try this before he builds one. Do you still go out on the rails?
This is on Canadian Pacific's Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway subsidiary on BC's Vancouver Island. It is currently out of service. (All RR's are historic!)
What beautiful scenery and a great run too. You're braver than me for there's no way I'd stop in the middle of one of those bridges as I'm a prisoner to vertigo. I see the A holes of society have visited the tunnel and sprayed their tags on it. I can see only one thing wrong with this video and that's that it's not long enough for I was wanting to see so much more. Cheers from Australia.
What the heck… most other rail cart builds are held together by spit and a bit of hope. This is the Bugatti Veyron of rail carts. Lol. Amazing ingenuity and craftsmanship! Are you a machinist or engineer?
Yes this rail cart was built by a retired professional machinist. Attention to detail is obvious and the cart will provide years of fun. Be the coolest kid on the block with this unit. Thanks for the comments and please share the video with anyone who is interested. We are building another one and this one must go.

Randomly started watching guys with DIY rail carts/speeders zooming along some beautiful desert in Cali. Thought, wow, that be a blast to do on the ol' Dayliner tracks. Looks easy enough to build and I've got a welding shop........ then I happened upon this video! Small world and you've beat me to it! LOL! If I get one built hopefully I'll see you.....before bumping into you! I've thinking electric or pedal power or a combo. Just to enjoy the stealth and quiet. :) Are you in Victoria or the Westshore?
Electric probly be a good way to go for an application like this as the friction/drag is very low. Plus being quiet. It's all about the clickity clack.
@@rusticwood Thanks for the reply! I assume the trestle is still blocked off. Is there access by road close to the other side of it to continue up the track? Also, have you ever gone towards town? Can you get far? Thanks! Happy Holiday's as well.
Is that Goldstream River bridge? Looks very similar. I rappelled off of it once. If you think riding on it is scary, try going ~100 m down the valley vertically.
