My family, 3 generations worked on that line. I brought the last log train out of Cascade for the INPR and helped write the feasibility study for the excursion trains that ran . It is a very high maintenance RR and for a small short line it was not profitable to keep it operating. It has not been abandoned however and hopefully either the Bertel’s or another group will come in and restore it and run trains on it once again. Great documentary on the line👍

I’m old enough to remember steam powered trains in McCall. I was fortunate enough to ride on the Thunder Mountain Line a year or two before they went out of business. I am surprised at how much rock and debris has accumulated on the tracks in so short of time. But then again, I’m not surprised. When built, the granite outcropping that comprises the tunnel north of Smiths Ferry, was not removed because they feared a massive landslide. As a result, that tunnel is only 39 feet in length and is the shortest tunnel, for standard gage railroads, in North America! Rockslides have closed Highway 55 twice in the last three or four years. The unstable rocks in the canyon contributed to the closure of the railroad. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Maybe you could make another video running the tracks between Emmett and Horseshoe Bend. There are two tunnels and one or two wood trestles.

@@WhereKentWent The "main line" to McCall started in Nampa. The route to McCall began at the wye, just west of the Nampa station, ran through Middleton and on to Emmett. The rails were ripped out from just north of the Chinden Blvd crossing a mile or so south of Middleton. Rail passenger service from Nampa to McCall terminated in 1949. The "secondary" route to Emmett ran from Payette. IT'S STILL IN USE. The tracks northeast of the Emmett station, could be used to Black Canyon dam, in theory. You'd be safe to run the 16 mile route from there. Use Google Maps and look at Old Dam Rd just short of the first bridge & tunnel on the south side of Black Canyon dam. That would be a good place to start your run. Then it's 8 miles to Montour which is similar terraign to Carbarton where you ended your first run. Or you can choose to run another 8 miles to Emmett. There are three more bridges, on that stretch, including the truss bridge just west of 55, which is slightly longer than the last bridge you crossed between the Rainbow bridge and Cabarton. The second tunnel, about midway, looks to have a massive rockslide at the south portal. September would be a perfect time to do this. Avoid the summer heat. Let me know if you decide to run this section. I'll join your channel: I'll know when you post the video. Bring up my channel and watch the first half of my first video. (The one with 60k views). It's indirectly about the stretch you ran.

Dump the horrible, overly-loud music and videos of you talking. I also thought this would be one of those trips on small powered personal rail cars,or biking on the rails. MUCH better would have been just video of what you see as you traverse the rails with commentary overlaid on that. Got halfway through and gave up.

A rail cart would be great on here if it wasn't for the land slides and tunnel collapse

As an employee of this company, it’s not abandoned, it’s out of service. The reason the weeds are minimal and the track for the most part is decently clear, is because we have to keep up on the weed spraying on the right of way.

Maybe some day it will be returned to service thanks to your hard work!

How can it be active with all of the rock slides on the track ??

Hate to see any line go down. Keeping them railbanked is smart. Easier to repair than totally rebuild which rarely happens but not unheard of. We have a local line that was abandoned and ripped out. Now the politicians regret letting that happen. Bridges ripped out and roadbed obliterated makes it uneconomical to rebuild. It used to have 40-50 trains per day. 😔😔

Indeed, let's hope they put it back in service.

@@alvisjenkins1305 Out of Service means that it's not fully abandoned. If memory serves you need permission to fully abandon railroads. This is especially true if this line is a connection between two railroads. Look at the Tennessee Pass in Colorado. It's been OOS since the late 90s but the government won't let them fully abandon.The other major rail line over the Rockies is the Moffat. There's a long vital tunnel on Moffat. What happens if there's a collapse, or worse a major derailment and fire inside it. It could take months, or longer to reopen it. By having Tennessee Pass still available, it's likely that this would be an easier route to reopen. They also want to keep it as a possible alternative route if traffic suffices. As far as the line shown here, the government might require that it be fully opened, even if at restricted speed if there's a bridge collapse, major landslide, or other serious damage to the lines that it connects. I don't know the area, but there might be a company that wants to build a factory, or some facility that requires rail service. By having it it OOS, where is can fairly easily be re-opened, they have a better chance of a company moving into the area.

When the line was taken out of service, we rode most of it's length on our motorized railcarts. We knew it was a high maintenance line and wouldn't be long before it became unpassable. And boy were we right, there is massive rockslides / blockage now. Some of the boulders are as big as my apartment. So glad we got to see it up close before it was lost. to nature.
