I used to assemble Hi-Rail trucks near this location, and rail tested them here. It was always an adventure, wondering where the rails were.

WOW!!! This is the most overgrown I have ever seen tracks. Cool shot.

Thanks for the comments. It was fun, that was at about 8am, the rails were slick with dew, plus we had a 180 degree curve to lug them around. And if you think the track is bad, walking the cut of cars to make air lines and all was like a jungle trek!
