You're in my area! Welcome! The first creek is Piney Creek; the other end of the tunnel and that trestle is over the Clarion River. About 18 years ago I rode my motorcycle onto that trestle and had to turn around when I reached a gaping hole in the decking!

Built by the Franklin & Clearfield RR, later became a New York Central branch, ended its service as part of Conrail. It was meant to serve some coalfelds but was underutilized for most of its history.

That was awesome Cliff, looked like they had trouble with that side of the tunnel falling/caving in and lined it with thick timbers till that went bye bye too. I did not see the same bracing at the other end , I looked and the facing of the tunnel is there but is gone on the collapsed side. Saw a creature run across the road at 0:55 looked too small to be a chipmunk probably a field mouse. Glad you have better sense then to walk on that rotted wood trestle. I was surprised the place was active to 1988. That don't seem that long ago but yeah, it's 34 years now. Thank you.
@R32R382 жыл бұрын
It's not unusual for rail lines to go without service for prolonged periods before the railroad companies file the abandonment paperwork. Chances are this line had been disused for many years before Conrail formally abandoned it in 1988.

@@R32R38 I was born in 1942, so when I see a date like 1988 I'm thinking , oh, that was just..........and then I do the real math. BTW, Cliff mentioned he got a picture from that other site, I went there too and there is/are quite a number of still photos of the Clarion trestle available to see.

Wow, that would be great! Both tunnels and the bridge deck are all in need of repairs. Most recently the Armstrong Trail received grant money to fix up Brady Tunnel for use as a trail, hopefully some $ can come this way to these neglected structures, I’d be visiting all the time! Would make an excellent continuation of the Sandy Creek Trail.

Since when? I haven't heard of any. Considering it can't connect to anything else, because the Piney Rail Riders control the rail bed going east/south & the rail bed to the other direction is private, it would be pretty hard to make a rails to trails connection

It never ceases to amaze me as I watch your videos of tunnels and other ruins. Just imagine the amount of people needed to prepare the areas for the tunnels, locks, and homesteads, as well as to transport the stones from wherever they collected them, and then do the actual construction. Thanks for showing us these sites and providing some history as well.

The trestle is safe to walk across. I've done it multiple times & would trust it to drive over except for the big hole where college kids had a fire there. The tunnel on the other side is definitely flooded. And you could drive to the tunnel entrance. I had an F250 up there & have ridden a dirt bike thru the tunnel lol

If you're in the area again I'd be happy to show you where the other tunnel is. The tracks went over the trestle & entered it within a few hundred feet. It's exit area is actually kinda visible from I80. But it's completely flooded.

Great video as always. You are braver than I would have been going across that trestle to Greenville/Nay Aug Station in Lackawanna County a handful of years back. I would have noped out just looking at the height. By the way if you recorded this video in June then that might have been Kathy from Rustic Ventures and DD Explores that you passed as RV posted a video of the same tunnel that she recorded around then.
