[@ericjaycastro4644]

I have fond memories visiting the Arch when I was a little kid. It was about 1980. The elevators left an impression on me. . I visited my mothers family from Arizona... Good times!

[@stlelevators]

Awesome! These are very unique elevators.

[@lenaa2003]

I can't believe that you rode the elevators at the St. Louis arch!

[@djs2356]

Great Fun!

[@pmgodfrey]

A bedroom in one of my rental properties has a perfect view of the Arch from 7.76 miles away. If anyone wants to know, as of April 2021, rides to the top are still closed, but the grounds and lobby are open. Call ahead to see if anything has changed.

[@stlelevators]

Thanks for the update!

[@josephdockemeyer6782]

I initially read this comment as "a bedroom in one of my rentals in the gateway arch"...

[@stlelevators]

@@josephdockemeyer6782 I did too LOL

[@pmgodfrey]

@@josephdockemeyer6782 -- If I could afford a piece like that, that'd be out of this world. I'd say in another 10 years, the tree across the street in the neighbors yard will block it.

I have been looking forward to this video from when you first told me about it and it is an awesome furnicular!

[@jonnda]

4:41 I wonder what's in the yellow flammable storage safety box; conveniently next to fire extinguishers?

[@stlelevators]

hmmm, who knows xD

[@themaddasher7783]

Really nice view! I want to visit here one day!

[@misterakt]

does a video exist of that elevator you pointed out on the way up (not the one you're in, the other one that goes sideways)?

[@stlelevators]

Doubtful

[@andywestermann6354]

I was there in 2015 it was totally amazing I would like to go again since they have remodeled and retooled

[@stlelevators]

It's definitely worth a visit!

[@lsubandtrumpet2014]

I've always wondered how people accessed inside the arch and how the stairs and evelators be

[@stlelevators]

Well now you do!!

[@patrickrichmond9896]

I've been here before. First time I have been here was in 1977.

[@DieselDucy]

The year I was born! :)

[@kobe51]

Wow 😮

[@pacfilming8117]

Tram car 8?

[@HSETM]

Do you know who made the elevator you see when you are going up to the top?

[@stlelevators]

I don't

[@HaileyJohn12]

I've never been to the gateway arch. I hope I can go there someday.

[@stlelevators]

It's totally worth it!

[@ogClockTV]

I rode these back in late 2012

[@izzywashington5461]

❤️🤙🏽

[@michaelbilgen2976]

What happens if the elevators get stuck?

[@stlelevators]

I’m not sure.

[@sheldonwiens1314]

Lucky #1

[@matthewlindstrom8728]

Wait how many trams are there Jason

[@stlelevators]

There's one on each side.

[@any123-og]

I want to see that full size elevator but the government might want to keep it a secret

[@stlelevators]

oh, I want to see it too!

[@any123-og]

I think it is for maintenance

[@Lane1111]

@@any123-og they might use it to change the light on the top of the arch

[@13_cmi]

This is what it looks like? I can’t remember any of this other than the entrance to the thing

[@stlelevators]

Have you seen the new entrance, or do you remember the entrances by the base of the Arch?

[@13_cmi]

@@stlelevators I remember the staircase with the elevators but not the inside of the system

[@PikaMatt07]

I'm planning to go there some day, when covid ends.

[@stlelevators]

You should!

It's like a train, but way different.

[@debkerr2393]

This wasn't a very good video, the other videos I seen of people riding up to the top of the arch was alot better.

[@agems56]

It always depends whose behind the camera! Some have it, some don't

[@CAelevators.]

Man I want to see a video of that other elevator so bad.

[@stlelevators]

Yeah I want to see it too!

[@atomstarfireproductions8695]

I’m also curious how that one works

[@EWPA14]

@@atomstarfireproductions8695 I think it's like a radio tower elevator, so it probably works like 1 of those. There are some videos of radio tower elevators.
