At 2:25 - looks like taconite pellets. It's a pelletized form of iron ore. This form is easy to ship for further refinement elsewhere. It's cheap ballast for the tracks, if there's a mine nearby. If not, it may be that some was spilled here, and they didn't bother to load it back on the car. If you get back there, see if it's attracted to a magnet to confirm this is really what it is.

The title had me thinking Eagle Mountain in Utah. Regardless, this looks fun and is something I'd like to do some day, I found this line and as far as I can tell it terminates at what appears to be some mining operation (maybe 40-ish miles of track). The track seems to be severed in a few spots, but it looks like there's some lengthy runs that you could check out. Anyway, thanks for the upload. On a side note, I've wondered what kind of trouble one would be in if someone called this in.

It's a pity that the journey ended at the 23km mark. There's actually another sixty-odd kilometres of track up to the Eagle Mountain Mine, just around the bend from where the track ended in this clip. In fact, in Google Maps if you scan about 500 metres slightly north of east of where the track ends, you will find where the continuation of the track resumes.

The tracks should still go all the way to the Eagle Mountain Mine. Periodically Los Angeles County makes noises about reopening the line to the mine to dump trash in it. They decide not to for environmental reasons, then 10 years or so later, refloat the idea. I seem to recall at least 3 attempts since the mine shut down. 😮

Need reverse of a high rail kit with go cart or lawn mower wheels and tires. Pivot the rear rubber tired drive on pillow block bearings so a chain from the rail wheel drive axle always spins the rubber tire axle. A single lever somewhere below the drivers knee centerline on a shaft to both sides could easily lower or raise bot rubber tire axles. No steering on either. New rail wheels. Wide flat areas. With a bolt on wheel flanges so if the gauge widens you dont drop in. Nothing going to stop you when a rail is past the end of a tie. Hopefully there is a pipe mounted on the deck for a 8 foot patio umbrella to be mounted after removal and reconnecting the lower tube. A battery powered hedge trimmer.
