Modern Railroading

This is quite interesting. I do wonder: what determines which skate is lifted off the track when two meet? Does the skate operator pay the railroad for the use of the track?

The narrator said that the more lightly loaded skate yields to the more heavily loaded skate.

I do not expect that the railroad gets squat out of this. The people working on a piece of rail looked like an ad hoc crew as well.

No trains run on this line.

So, all I see is a blank square with a slashed circle in the upper left corner. Got a link of some sort?

But, I suppose that if this is some sort of bootleg use of track, then I am not really all that interested anyway.

The line is fully abandoned, and the RR out of the area.

(Or such is my understanding.)

The rails are awfully shiny for an abandoned railroad…[D)]

They have been running these skates on it for a long time, and there are hundreds of them out there. Smaller wheels may make a difference too.

When I click on it it says the video has been remover by the user. It sounds like there was objection to a video of an unsafe activity.

Yep - Removed
