Very unprofessional,you learn you road and know the road. You don't make mistakes like that,you just don't

There is so much in this video that is simply false

A famous train accident took place there in the 1940s (I think). I was taken there to see it in the 50s ( 70 years ago). We still had steam locomotives.

Yeah man I got hornets right in the middle. They were living in the wood... That was fun sprinting down that beam, it's about 2 ft wide. I could see those circumstances definitely killing somebody because once they started buzzing me I just threw all caution (literally) to the wind

It was a great loss to Pennsylvania and railroad history.

Hi Scott, thanks for the vid. FYI.... there isn't any petrified wood in Blair County. Your either finding some banded chert or silica slag from 19th century iron furnaces. The oldest fossils of trees are up on the Allegheny Front... oldest I've personally found are late Devonian... and its just imprints or smudges of coal, not "petrified". At Tytoona Cave, you're at the early Ordovician. At that point the land plants were only just getting started with things like liverworts.

Awesome

Looks like it’s equidistant from Buffalo and Erie, only inland. Also NE of Pittsburgh. (From someone who lives in Vancouver, Washington.)😮🤗🙄

MBTA.i might have rode some of those in Boston

Thanks for bumming me put.

Woman don't care 4 there husband

The bus company here in Johnstown, CamTran, should've bought some of those trolleys and restored them. They should've had the old Moxham Sheds as a Trolley museum. They could've had other trolleys from other lines brought in for display. But CamTran doesn't care about history.

Thank you so much. As a former Altoona native, I love the history or this area. So glad I found you videos.

Thank you so much for this. Great information.

It wasnt next to pgh it was in pittsburgh

We live about 15 miles from there.

Been there many times....absolutely GORGEOUS in the fall when the leaves are changing...

Who's voice is this?

He must mean 40 men erected it in 90 days big difference !😊

Build your own Dam, that's crazy

Did they die?

Disappointed that they have now permanently closed it as well. When closed recently, it was supposed to be temporary. It's the second item closed in the area, as the falls trail was closed some years back as well. These were challenging things to do...which were part of their appeal. In todays culture of safety, we are loosing these jems because people don't understand taking a risk or prepared accordingly to minimize it. Not all things can be made safe, or should be.

People will make fun of you if you say Kin-zoo-a, as a local. Everything Kinzua is Kin-zoo, bridge, dam, flooded town.

I used to work here as an intern. The museum and observation platform are a great time, especially with the fall foliage!

Of course it is. Probably because I was planning a trip there next month😂

I really enjoy this producers shorts only to have me venture to the site and sybscibe. Some things I was already aware of but upon clicking learned more. Some things knew norhing about and learned. Great presentation on top of it all because of the feeling your there.

Great video! I live just down the road from Waverly about 10-15 miles away, & I'm 90% sure that i look directly at an ancient pyramid when i look out my window every day. This pyramid is located less than a mile from the banks of the Susquehanna River, approximately in Vestal/ Appalachin NY

Been there many times. Last journey you couldn't enter the test bunker as seen in your video. The openings on the bunker like mentioned above as time past the glass to see out was breaking apart and you could see the many layers from front to back. Before the cleanup in doing research at the Shaw Library in Clearfield in the old newspapers diagrams of roads and such but after being on foot like jumping down rabbit hole of the JFK assassination what was reported to the paper and where certain things said to be located ended up in the opposite direction for example another road. The town of Karthaus across the bridge towards the crossroads had entire community built for the initial project when CW came to the area. A school, fire house and housing which I don't know the term but it resembles at least two ranch style homes connected which to date are still there all lined up one after another. I remember my parents telling me who transplanted from NYC before the end of the Curtis Wright era on the West Side of Clearfield many families from different countries sent by their respective governments on assignment to obseve and learn came from two in particular West Germany and Thailand which my parent became very good friends with. After the Curtis Wright project came to an end one family who came with CW from New Jersey stayed. This gentleman was a photographer and an expert in many different types of photography specializing in aerial. This gentleman after the CW closing opened a camera store and portrait studio. He's since passes but in the late 80's while investigating the facility my father suggested he would mention what Iwas up to and see if I could ontain any photographs of the area. After some time and thanfully the timing right the gentleman was about to retire. I've met him before but in handing over a big envelope with 8x12 photo's he gave me this stare and asked what do you plan on doing with these? My personal collection ended up with shot of the entrances and guard housed manned with military rifles, aerial shots and pictures of inside the reactor. Back then they during the night may not have been CW but items from the machine shops and other things not to be handeled encased in different precious metals. Also one of the last employees to get his discharge papers gave me some pointers and I will say this not being one of them stumbled across a 55 gallon drum that the ground rejected only to partially force it out of the ground and the lid and rim being eaten away was a cobalt blue. Many good times there's

Very interesting! Hhhmmm I hear there are still KKK in the Bedford area.

My skeptical mind says a large school of fish or the observer ate some mushrooms. lol

I’m catching up today!!

the dark area looks like a school of baitfish. the others are just logs and trees floating in the lake which happens ofen. im on that lake all the time :)

Walked across the viaduct a few months before it fell. Pretty impressive.

So fix it fix it only 94 days 40 men in 1800s no power equipment uh OK let's see if u could find 40 men willing able trained how to build steel with rivets eh n bolts n nuts it should be able to be done easier today yes

I used to live in Penn State. My mom told me about this White Lady from Wopsy Mountain while we were visiting my grandparents.

The man Prince Gallitzin as a topic.... something to be expanded on for sure. He, as the Loretto priest is a expansive arena.

It translates to "Italian loudly knocking". Wop sono nock

😢

Kinda like ignoring ice berg warnings and speeding up through the ice fields ..

I’m struggling to believe that this was the first curve in a railway “in the world”.

De- regulation only serves to make more $$ for rich folks who just don't care about us.

Erie Railroad wasn't the only shortcut that cost us this magnificent landmark. When they were doing the renovation in 2002, they unbolted all the old bridge columns from each other. Essentially they were all left free standing, and gravity is an unforgiving mistress. One of the lead project engineers admitted that if they had left the continuous span connected, the bridge would have likely survived. And it absolutely would have survived if they had replaced all the anchor bolts first as suggested instead of going by column. BTW, some of the anchor bolts were severely deficient, but most of them were adequate enough to continue supporting excursion trains. The State pointed to the anchor bolts to absolve themselves and the renovation company from ultimately destroying this once beautiful bridge. The locals know who's fault it is, and it wasn't the tornado and the anchor bolts.

oops think your about a century off there, 😅😅👍👍

…SAD…. 😓😓😲

The bottom line is always money, hasn't changed. With American history, money, and real estate, we're ( are) interchangeable.

I was pleasantly surprised of your historiacl knowledge of circus train wrecks. I am a retired American Character Clown that toured with Ringling Bros. Circus from 87 to 93 and lived on the train. I subscribed!

Rodney Kantorski seething rn

Scott, Cypher Beach near Hopewell was a resort area, to my understanding, years ago. My wife used to skate at the old rink over there. Still a beautiful area. Thankfully, the rail trail has shone a light on this area in recent years. Would you be willing to do a piece on this? I just know it had to be special. Thank you. My wife and l beeped three times in the Horseshoe Curve tunnel today! Nothing. LOL!

So, this guy AND that Titanic man, both tried to beat the clock, killing people. Humans are so good.
