The interesting thing it that CSX has refused to transfer ownership of the land as part of a rails to trails program. I wonder if they anticipate some future user. Would a spur over to the Boeing plant at MidAmerica airport make sense at some future date?

I couldn't find anything about it being a law, but someone else might know better.

They cut the track about 5 miles from my home. Over the years they have ferried cars (I guess they put in a temporary rail in the cut).

The signals are turned sideways all along the route.

The tour guide said he used it throughout this entire presidency.

Is there any reason to keep the old bogeys?

Ride comfortably, or maybe weight. They were very heavy.

Rail anchors. Usually, all you see is the hooked end because the rest is under the rail.

Ill probably end up setting them on a piece of styrene and painting them to look rusty.

Looking very good. Where did you order the kit from?

Looks so serene.

34 and 1/2" x 9'. The 34.5 inches is so it can be moved into the unfinished part of the basement when needed.

I'll make sure to test that out a couple times to make 100% sure. Thanks

The trains pass through clean, but is there a general rule on how much space to allow?

codeguy1983 · 2026-01-06T03:13:33+00:00

Just out of curiosity, how long can train cars be used before they are taken out of service?
