COAL MINE EXPLORATION - Escape Shaft & Mine Locomotive / Part 2

Come along for Part 2 of the Private Coal Mine Exploration being given by the UGM crew at the Lansford #9 Mine. In Part 2 we continue on with our tour through the mine and then everyone was given the opportunity to climb a vertical shaft to the surface to see what it would be like to exit a mine through an escape shaft. Later many of us were allowed to operated the Electric Mine Locomotive in and out of the mine. Lastly for some bonus footage, I head up to the top of the mountain to see ruins and the head frame for the elevator shaft.

Thanks once again to UGM for putting on this event. Check out Part 1 incase you missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6Pcg5WGfrKdask

The coal mines are so interesting. My mom's father was a breaker boy then guarded the Pentagon during WW2(lucky but important assignment). He had black lung to some extent, though he lived a long life and that wasn't what killed him. (Other grandfather was in the navy during WW2.). Thanks Jay, I hope you are feeling a lot better.

[@catherineengle4196]

This was so awesome! I would love to do one of these tours. I absolutely love learning about mining since my grandfather, my great grandfathers and great uncles on my mommas side were all miners. Totally enjoyed this. I wish to God my mom was still alive to see these videos. She would have loved them.

[@JPVideos81]

Hope you can make one in the future.

[@PatriseHenkel]

Amazing visit to the underworld, sobering. I was anxious about the low clearance and those scary roof bolts! My heart goes out to all the laborers who risked life & limb to keep the lights on.

[@matthewblodgett1789]

I love the camaraderie between the mine workers. They are proud of what they do.

[@JPVideos81]

Proud and super knowledgeable

Did most of the track haulage/ travel for my first 29 years of underground mining at the now closed Dome Gold mine (after 105 yrs of operation), in Timmins ON. Canada. Then finishing after 43 years total underground mining at the Kidd Creek base metal mine and finally at the Hoyle Pond gold mine as a scoop tram operator...also in Timmins ON....I miss it all to this very day!!!

[@Vegasparanormal]

I love those carts they are all over Northern Nevada

[@rikspector]

Jay, There are old, soldiers and bold soldiers, but no old bold soldiers. Cheers, Rik

[@palyba1]

Just amazingly awesome! Told you I would watch tonight! And you went wayyyy further than I would have gone up that ladder. 4 rungs at the most for me! So much fun! And I could tell you were so happy! Thank you for sharing this fantastic experience with us!

[@JPVideos81]

I'm suprised I made it as far as I did.

[@jenniferbutcher8393]

Huge accolades for climbing up the escape ladder....my legs woulda been shaking too!! This was just amazing. Again, thanks for the amazing tour! So glad you got to drive the engines. How fun!!

[@JPVideos81]

🙂💙

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

The mine car view was my favorite, that is a lot of water dripping from the top, and the side walls.

[@JPVideos81]

Goes to show how easily this mine can get flooded if it was sealed up.

[@debs5157]

The whole mine experience is a whole new environment, a lil too confining, claustrophobic and dark for me, I love how you take us to all different places, really putting your whole heart and body into it... kudos on that climb! You did the right thing! 👏

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks deb. It really is like an underground city.

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Thanks Jay, definitely something I'll never see in person. Hey RJ. Central California Watching

[@lbacaterpillar]

You’re so brave! I have a horrible fear of heights and start shaking right away. And i have claustrophobia. Phew! Rough place to be, but interesting!

[@SimplyExploVenturing]

Great perspective glad you got to go up to see the head frame

[@welshwizard822]

Great videos, that's coming from an ex coal miner in the welsh valleys. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Well done.

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome part 2! I would've never made it as far up that ladder as you did. That's one of the greatest mine tours I've ever seen, it would be hard to top that one! What a great experience ya'll had! Thanks for bringing us along JP!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks Mitch. I'm glad I atleast attempted the climb. It was an overall amazing day.

[@misslottieish]

Love the tour. If it had been a REAL emergency you would have made it all the way up the escape ladder so dont feel bad. It looks so cold and dreary and scary underground. I know those miners had to hope they made it out every day they went in. A stressful job for sure.

[@JPVideos81]

Aside from the dampness, it was about 15 degrees warmer inside the mine than outside.

[@timmyangeltlc4888]

You may not have completed the climb of the escape tunnel ladder but despite your fear of heights you at least tried and that is what matters. It took courage to try and overcome the fear you felt and immense smarts to know your limits. Your were very smart also to stop and climb back down when you knew the fear was overcoming you.

[@JPVideos81]

I definitely made the right decision and proud I tried.

[@cynthiacleaver9742]

That was interesting and I actually learned a few things!! I’ve never been in a coal mine and really no intentions of going down. I’m sorry you didn’t make it out the escape hatch, but better safe than injured!! This was fun, thank you!!! 💖💙💖💙💖💙

[@JPVideos81]

I think we all learned a few things. Educational and so interesting. Thanks for watching.

[@frankforrest1597]

What a great opportunity. Need to do this tour real soon😉. Jay you did a whole lot better than I could with the escape tunnel/ladder; you can be proud of yourself for what you did bud. Thanks again for sharing the experience of this great adventure/trip into the mine. 👊👍✌

[@JPVideos81]

I'm definitely proud for trying. I can now say I'm the ONLY person to climb it back down haha.

Both videos are great. Thanks.

Very awesome and so interesting! What a great history lesson! You did good climbing the escape shaft, don't think I could have done that at all! That was so cool you got to operate the mine locomotive, can't wait to see more of that! What an incredible experience for you! Great bonus footage and photos! Super video JP! Thank you so much!

😊💙

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Jay, I think you did amazing considering your fear of heights, you really did make the right decision so don't beat yourself your up over it, you did great. What a fantastic tour though, very informative and hands on. Very cool that they left the old headframe standing, those sheave wheels were massive. I loved the photo's that you took and the music was very well matched to the slideshow. Thank you for sharing your experience with us, much love. xx ❤

[@JPVideos81]

No regrets on my end 🙂. Glad you enjoyed the tour.

[@SueGirling68]

@@JPVideos81 That's cool and yes I did. x

[@billwalton5577]

That was a great part 2 very interesting I would have definitely enjoyed thank you for taking us the wooden ladder was crazy got to the top look real sketchy

[@JPVideos81]

My pleasure

[@gigicostlow4414]

This and part 1 was so cool and really informative. Only coal mine I've ever been in was Old Ben No. 17 at the Museum of Science & Industry in Chicago which is a really cool exhibit. You did great going up the ladder. Didn't matter if you couldn't go all the way. We still got to see the cool stuff up top later. I couldn't have done it. Not afraid of heights but my arthritic hands and weak arms couldn't handle it. Thanks for taking us along. Always so nice to visit places I will probably never go to.

[@JPVideos81]

💙😊

[@edithdavis2848]

Loved it JP . Dad always wanted to take me on the tour of the Morton Salt Mines in Hutchinson KS, but they were closed when we had time to go. You did super on that ladder, would have never started it. Thank you for an awesome tour of that mine.

Hey, JP thank you for sharing. It definitely looked fun operating the engine. It was a great video and cant wait to see the rest of your time there. Thanks again 🖐

You too

[@billbest9483]

That J track that hinges over for dumping is called the Maryann!

[@wandaswavely2523]

I am afraid of heights, but that wouldn't bother me. I would be too interested in the coal and how the place looks. My biggest problem would be , I'm only 5 ft. and my legs are short. I have problems going over rocks and trees that fall on trails. The mine was really neat.

[@larryshumakerhihvv5294]

That would have been fun thanks for the great video

[@UrbanKiwiana]

Good morning Mate what an absolutely incredible tour.. I find the best guides all seem to have passion, knowledge and a sense of humor that humor I love in guides.. the bonus footage was so totally worth it that massive structure for the old elevator Holy 70 stories high that's crazy..Definitely the coolest most interactive tour I've seen , getting to ride the trolly train thing was epic great shots. Have an incredible weekend my friend.

[@JPVideos81]

You said it! Glad you enjoyed the tour and footage. It was my pleasure to showcase their incredible tour.

Absolutely right. The mind is a powerful thing.

[@donnicholas7552]

Cool video! I love watching videos on mines.

[@JPVideos81]

I love sharing them

[@PATG1]

Great video, a lot of people don't realize that coal is needed to make steel, how many things were built in the United States with steel. The mine looks interesting and scary at the same time. Your were brave climbing up the ladder that far, not for me. I was think about the coal mine tour at Ashland, I am going to pass on that.😁

[@Brian_rock_railfan]

Awesome video 👍

In "another life " I bet you were a coal miner ....you really do like your mines : } This was a great tour and learned a lot . There is no way I could have climbed the escape shaft ladder !! too tight and straight up ? no thank you ! . You did an awesome job ! Don't know how you remembered what to say on the outro ....great job on that too .. Looking forward to more footage of you operating the Mine Locomotive ...that will be fun : } See you then ! ( good seeing RJ and Dan with ya ! ) .

[@JPVideos81]

I may have been one haha. The outro was easier than I thought. I just went through the day and put it into my own words. That mine locomotive is pretty fun to operate.

[@heatherfranklin5608]

That's awesome

[@suefink7292]

wow very interesting. always wondered how mines work. was that a skeleton of a rat i saw. yuck. lol. as for not quite getting to the top you tried and i thought was awesome. thanks so much for sharing' i enjoyed both parts

Some is staining from when it was flooded. Others is different layers of material.

I never realized that mines were so damp with all that dripping water 💧 🙄

[@danmathers141]

So why is a mine always wet?

Water constantly seeping down from the surface. Chris said rainfall will reach the mine in 2 days.
