Abandoned 167 Year Old Train Tunnels

[@jillsmith633]

I kept waiting for a ghost train to come rolling through like on Ghostbusters lol. I think those bats were cute little guys, just snoozing. Fantastic video Chris.

Looking from the front, it almost looks like an ice cathedral, so pretty. Great job guys.

[@elizabethrowe7262]

That was absolutely fascinating to see! The amount of cutting out the tunnels would have been a huge job back in those early days.

[@MobileInstinct]

I agree. A huge amount of work for sure

[@432b86ed]

It's so weird watching someone in awe of the year 1984 - as if it was _so long ago._ I remember that year like it was yesterday. Well maybe not yesterday. :) Wish I was in there exploring with you guys.

Don't you love when resellers call stuff from the 90's vintage?! Lol

Wow those icicles are phenomenal!! Amazing stuff. Stay safe out there my friend.

Wow! This is less than an hour from where I grew up! Love the ice, so beautiful. I miss Pennsylvania winters...

Cool video! I LOVE the bats! And the fact that you were so considerate of them! Awesome Chris. Keep the videos comin!

We live a couple miles from these tunnels. I wondered how they looked after being out of service for over 100 years. These tunnels were no longer necessary due to the realignment for the Tunkhannock Viaduct. Thanks for a great video.

[@samanthab1923]

That's interesting.

[@frankforrest1597]

What an awesome location. Amazing ice formations. Do be safe in these places, ice can force rock, cement and brick apart and cause it to fall. 👍🖖

[@justenfeathers7310]

I was in that area for work for 2 years, I replaced the power line just south of those tunnels. I walked through the tunnels alone on a Saturday. Hopefully you got to see the Nicholson bridge. After the bridge was built these tunnels taken out of service and the right of way sold to the state and became US11.

[@samanthab1923]

TY love the info

[@journeywithjay]

Yes that bridge is definitely impressive

Yeah it took us a while those were the wrong coordinates I had. We left and gave up and Chris happened to spot them on from the road.

[@OutNaturing]

@@journeywithjay yeah I remember when I was looking and found a few set of coords online. A few were like a mile off! Thankfully you spotted it. In the spring that would be invisible!

Hi Chris, those tunnels were awesome to see, all of the icicles in there are truly beautiful. The mound of ice underneath that ventilation shaft looked like someone had dumped a whole host of diamonds in there, very sparkly and pretty. A stunning adventure, thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖

These exploration vids calm my nerves. I find them very peaceful and beautiful. Yours are some of my favorites. Steve ronin’s videos and very good too.

[@therockisland]

@3:30 Most definitely was a brake shoe. The bump in the center on the top side is where it connected to the brake rigging on the truck set. They're just held in with a metal pin, so they can be changed easily out on the road. However, they've been known to just fall off from time to time.

[@cripticgatekeep]

Next time you visit an abandoned rail tunnel look for the date nails in the ties. They will help you with finding out how old things are.

[@samanthab1923]

My son collects those. When I first saw them all I could think of were religious relics 😂

[@orsonboggs7753]

5:53 that bright dot is the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel"

[@dougscott8161]

At 3:50 my guess is that it might have been part of a rail, but that's just a guess. In this weather, I would say the bats are all in deep hibernation. I don't think keeping your voice low will be of any effect on their sleep. I saw a date of 1908 on one of the columns you were examining, so apparently they didn't really improve any safety concerns they had, so they closed them only 8 years after that. This was a very interesting exploration, thanks. God Bless and stay safe. Oh, and by the way, you may want to start wearing hard hats while exploring tunnels, caves or mines, you never know when a rock or an icicle will drop on your head.

[@Hogger280]

I'm slowly making my way through your videos; I am a subscriber. I'm enjoying them immensely. I do not know if you have already visited Langtry, Texas; home of Judge Roy Bean. Robert Redford did a movie about the Judge. Great movie. The most ironic thing about it is that I pass by the museum a couple times a week but I cannot ever stop to check it out as I am a truck driver and there is nowhere for me to park. I was hoping that you could visit and video the place. I figured that you are the best candidate because I think you investigate these places well. I am sure these trips have to be planned out and it will take time just to get there, but maybe if you have a 'to do' list, you could add this to it. Thank you for everything.
