Rich Coffey lives in New England, and mountain bikes around looking for cool old railroad stuff, old tracks made into trials, stations made into stores, and this educational piece made out of styrofoam and the rear simulates the remnants of an explosion.

and old railroad ties showing where a railway used to be, but is now part of a driveway to someones farm

he even researches where old railways were GOING to be, but never completed, and finds the old right of way, now just a smooth way through the woods, neglected and abandoned

Fascinating blog about train stuff by a guy who is focused on local railroad history (aren't we all!)
