Road Trip: Roanoke VA to St. Louis MO

[@TXMNElevators]

I LOVE this video!! I remember watching this for the first time and just watch it over and over until it was time for bed. You should totally make another road trip video :)

[@springbonnie2300]

i watch at 3 am

[@Cityplace2711]

Watching this at 2:00 a.m. lol

[@SamG2808]

Yet again, I enjoyed it and felt like I was on that trip with you

[@XxchimeloxX]

Same

[@domohobo]

Man, I am in Roanoke, like every month coming from Memphis, TN. My sister goes to Hollins University. Roanoke is truly a beautiful place.

[@QuietSundayLibrary]

The best two-and-a-half hours I've spent in the past year. Many thanks for uploading this gem of a documentary, sir!

[@alexmorland7924]

Hey Andrew, I love St. Louis, Missouri. Thanks for viewing the pictures of St. Louis, Missouri. Greeting from Alabama.

[@Cool32216]

I watching this right now. This movie makes me want to keep on watching!

[@connorjacobson9959]

Cool32216 DieselDucy sure did a great job on this video.

[@blueauraretriever]

Connor Jacobson I LOVE otis black button elevators. thank you so much dieselducy for including some clips of them in this 2 hour long video!

[@jonc3806]

1:36:48 There's actually not 1, but 2 Riverwalks. The other is located in Downtown San Antonio TX via The Mall at Rivercentre.

[@joegound8296]

Brilliant - one of the best I've seen - many thanks!

[@kslayer21]

My good sir, i love the great state of VA as well. i was born in Norfolk due to my dad being in the navy, which i'm also about to join next month. i moved to California when i was 5. thank you loving my birth state!

[@alexthephotographer9314]

34:58 GPS- “Recalculating.” Andrew- “Oh be quiet!” 🤣 Must not have liked it that time 😂

[@DieselDucy]

lol. Old school gps

[@elevatorsofnewengland2020]

One of my Favorite KZbin videos from you Deiselducy

[@boydalexander4652]

We don’t take I 81 anymore because we got stuck on I 81 a lot mostly northbound and sometimes southbound and we now take us 29!

[@hectorescobar7013]

It's best to wait if you're stuck in traffic on a road or highway.

[@DieselDucy]

Yep

[@johndeerefan725]

I've been stuck in traffic before. Even here in Paducah, I've been in standstill traffic a few times, but nowhere that bad.

[@hotelmanztv]

Awesome Dieselducy! Just started watching! Merry Christmas -Zach

[@nicholasmohr3353]

1:46:46 YOURE COMING INTO MY HOME STATE!!! AND I LIVE VERY CLOSE TO MT. VERNON!!

[@MattsFans]

[@Josephtorto]

That old tunnel that he passed was a toll road when I was going to FairPlay CO I went though there in 1992

[@michaelsmith9671]

LOVE Roanoke, wish I was back there again!!

[@consuellathornton5054]

Nice dedication at the end. Thumbs-Up for the tribute.

[@justusschrom6071]

I directed an episode of home movies (1998-2006, animated TV show) where Brendon and his mom, Paula Small, And my own characters, Jack and Bobby and Bobby's wife/Jack's Mom Joanne head to Chicago, Illinois for the weekend to see Jack's relatives, and also to see Jack's out-of-town friends (who he's known for a long time, too), siskel and Ebert in Chicago, Illinois. The episode of home movies also features the voices of Courteney Cox (TV'S friends), Charlie sheen and Jon cryer (TV'S two and a half men), and Peter Boyle (TV'S everybody loves Raymond). The episode is now kinda similar to this road trip to St. Louis video.

[@justusschrom6071]

And along the way, they stop at McChicken's (parody of McDonald's) x2 for lunch (Day 1 and Day 2), and Donald von cheeseintions, because they love pizza, for dinner when they spend the night at their motel in Morehead, KY.

[@justusschrom6071]

They also do stop for drinks and gas at a gas station every time Jack's father, Bobby's Winnebago's gas tank gets low.

[@skiterz]

Thanks for the footage of VA. Just get homesick sometimes and its nice seeing pictures of home. Its also nice to hear someone actually say VINTON and not Vinuhn. ;)

[@justinlyons8676]

3:46 yes garmin gps but don't turn the volume down i can't hear what it saying

[@amclean999]

Andrew, the factory you were thinking about once you crossed into Kentucky is not a factory. It's a KY-owned refinery located in Catlettsburg, not Ashland.

[@elevatorfan125]

I went through Louisville, Kentucky on my way to Myrtle beach, South Carolina on 5/26/18. I also went through Princeton, West Virginia on my way to Ohio on 6/1/18.

[@seanfinity3689]

1:18:19 You were right. 185 miles is 435 miles. I'm figuring out the miles from day 2. 1:36:28 16 miles (451 miles total). 1:37:29 17 miles (452 miles total). 1:39:42 29 miles (476 miles total). 1:46:35 149 miles (584 miles total). 1:47:04 202 miles (637 miles total). 1:49:37 253 miles (688 miles total). 1:51:34 277 miles (712 miles total). 2:00:02 Can't say I know the total miles. I estimate 720-730 miles.

[@DieselDucy]

yep:)

[@nicholasmohr3353]

+ DieselDucy at 1:46:55 you came in my home state! Welcome to Illinois!

[@joaquinr.8332]

I loved your road trip video dieselducy. I hope ihop get to see more road trip videos soon.

[@ChloeLane1011]

I've been to Virginia more times than I can count because I live just to the north in Maryland. I've been on 315 of the 324 miles of Interstate 81 in Virginia, the only part I haven't been on is between Route 7 near Winchester and the West Virginia state line. I've also been on the West Virginia Turnpike part of Interstate 77 which includes Interstate 64.

[@Fluff...]

This brings back so many memories from when I was in 1st grade

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks so much for watching me for so long

[@danielalmquist1264]

I used to live in afton, va. I loved it there.

[@MysticMTL]

Amazing Road Trip! I hooked it up to the big screen TV for the whole family to enjoy it this evening. Great locations and incredible classic elevator finds! You've got us wanting more, and with all of those elevators in the slideshow at the end, I look forward to seeing more of your road trips in the future! Thank you for making these videos all these years, you've really helped me personally through some really rough times.

[@jaydacol7662]

Ni man I. I no

[@oldschooltrains]

I really like all the Otis Elevators with the 2 speed door and the elevator with the piston pump!!!

[@centralindianaelevatorsesc6925]

I love how some of those elevators open in random offices where a more modern elevator would open in a lobby

[@BluedPlaysYTMC]

1:43:30 it’s called mount catchup

[@DieselDucy]

Yep lol

[@geneseetrainselevators2448]

Those elevators in Charleston in Louisville were cool.

[@Computergk91Gaming]

andrew put your seat belt on

[@TheFakeAntivirus]

thx so much for making this video

[@stphinkle]

In STL, check out the Arch Elevator. It is one of the most unusual of all. It is small and goes at very strange angles.

[@GodIsAble29445]

i like your road trip DieselDucy

[@730dayana]

I like it

[@HAVENWELLE]

Excellent video. Great work! I can see it was truly a labor of love.

[@mrspawning03]

My god i miss this road trips!

[@TheHighRiseElevatorLover]

In the second Charleston building, the first elevator was much faster then the second one.

[@brandonsa14sa1]

Good road trip video

[@friendofcanisgirl]

The intro to this video was AMAZING!

[@dennismanbook]

Enjoying your video of your trip, you do have some beautiful scenery in your area where it ain't cornfield after cornfield along the way! By the way Merry Christmas to you!

[@jordanmarshall3235]

I have school tomorrow (REALLY SHORT) so i'm going to Branson as my Road trip. I'm gonna just do it quickly before I leave

[@VintageLiftLad]

Been looking forward for this! :D I've been waiting for you to take the Celebrity on a road trip haha! Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)

[@Puzzoozoo]

Nice trip. Interesting to see snow in the American state of Virginia, seeing as it is in the American southern states where the general concept is they are hot and humid.

[@angelsrailfanandmore]

1:12:38 was 3.559 a gallon on BP

[@joshharbord820]

Va looks really nice

[@kmcca204]

Made that road trip many many times, every summer in fact, to visit family in Neb. Except I start in Virginia Beach and go all the way to Lincoln Neb. As you know its 64 all the way to St. Louis, then just jump on 70 in St. Louis and go across Missouri to check out Kansas City (BBQ capital of the world), then up 29 to Lincoln and Omaha Ne. 1400 miles :) Next time you road to St. Louis, keep going and check out KC, Lincoln and Omaha!

[@108CAM]

Notice how in the start of the video how it says an road trip instead of a road trip

[@georgef551]

You could've reset the Garmin's Trip Odometer before starting the trip. :)

[@epzik8]

And I've also been on Interstate 64 between Charleston, West Virginia and Lexington, Kentucky.

[@irenelyons1453]

if you turn the garmin gps down to 50 vol is quieter so he can talk I said garmin because I called the gps brand

[@DJWinston]

Let me guess when the intro you use iMovie right?

[@TransitUSA]

Yep.

[@elevatorsaroundtheworld1139]

What template was it?

[@ElyseHorvath]

Haha wish you could still do that strange set up with the power outlet in the car like this and do lights

[@TechNerdNolan]

56:31 are these Series 1 Gen2s?!

[@StuartGray100]

I really enjoyed watching your Video. Great Job. Wish you had a wonderful Christmas. Greetings from Germany

[@howdydeloo2112]

Im from the uk,id love to drive around the usa,i know it would take ages though

[@DieselDucy]

It is fun!

[@blueauraretriever]

1:20:59 Wow i love that floor passing chime what's the name of it?

[@COandOH6675]

Every time DieselDucy crossed a state line: West Virginia From Virginia 27:18 Kentucky From West Virginia 1:08:26 Indiana From Kentucky 1:39:25 Illinois From Indiana 1:46:55 Missouri From Illinois 1:53:29

[@DieselDucy]

Thanks :)

[@Ryderwalsted23]

That Gps crazy!!!

[@lynnleger5658]

Route 8 in Kentucky is closed from the ledgers

[@benjaminkistler9671]

I work within 5 minutes of that bridge on the Illinois side you can see the skyline from the parking lot of my job

[@hotmom206]

Hi there! I was going to say I watched this entire video in shifts in an entire day. I never thought I would do it, but I watched it. I had never watched that long of a Diesel Ducy video before, and it was kind of interesting! I know it’s an old video, but I enjoyed it a lot. Would strongly recommend it if you have the time.

[@tristansgamingchannel8386]

Go to Duluth Minnesota it's really beautiful too

[@elevatorman427]

You said around the 1:16:26 you were coming through Lexington. Just randomly stating you were only 20-25 miles from my house.

[@7thdayproductions330]

Pfff when he stops at exit 39 in indiana he could probably glance at my house at the time with his camera.

[@jonathonjennings2592]

Your from Evansville

[@angelsrailfanandmore]

1:46:37 it was 149 miles deep from the trip

[@LidLockTV]

[@DieselDucy]

Unfortunately not

[@NovioSites]

Awesome road trip video. I really enjoyed!

[@MichaelFreeman27]

[@DieselDucy]

lol

[@jovikusumadi7682]

great video i really enjoyed watching it!

[@saxman112]

This is a continuation from my last comment I left a minute ago. In terms of elevators that are at my university, we mostly have older, as well as some modded Otis elevators, as well as some ThyssenKrupp elevators in our brand new student center. The Otis in my residence hall runs ok, although the contractor for it, ThyssenKrupp has had to come repair it a lot. It definitely is showing its age. The Kruppy ones are nice though. Maybe I'll make some videos sometime.

[@MyOregonLife]

i believe its somewhere around 1 hour 35 seconds you walk out the 24th floor to get a view. then you say " the battery died damn it" this is picked up as you are closing the front of the camera

[@tauras88d]

@0:45 that was the Kanawha river in Charleston Wv. in order to see the Ohio river on this trip you would had to travel thru the city of Huntington Wv :)

[@BluedPlaysYTMC]

1:41:04 plays trombone sad drop sfx

[@DieselDucy]

Ok

[@TechOut]

Just use the GPS as the trip odometer

[@ChilesRussellTaylor]

There goes the Mini Cooper. My favorite! 1:59:14

[@DieselDucy]

awesome!

[@justinlyons8676]

7:05 why did you turn the volume down????????? i was hearing the garmin telling me directions

[@joelynch6098]

Bravo, streetcar1743. 👏👏👏👏👏👏. Dieselducy, I love your hotel tours and road trips as I love to travel!

[@RailVideosNI]

awesome video andrew

[@TheCarWashChannel]

Well, my troop in 2012 was at Ottari, but I think we're switching to Powhatan

[@curtisstephens775]

Best 2 and a half hours I have ever spent!

[@thewildeeper]

Wow GREAT JOB Andrew! Reminds me a bit of my trip to St. Louis! I'm glad you got to embark on such an epic adventure and I hope you will go on just as epic a trip (or two) in 2013 (hint hint!)

[@OntariosElevatorssince2013]

I bought an alarm clock at Walmart and the alarm didn't even work!

[@irenelyons1453]

I know radio is broke and new ones has navigation with it but ipod is better you should say Ipod radio with your ipod touch

[@Techmatt167Official]

I love watching this video on my iPod touch! Do you think I should upload my trip to Tennessee?

[@jonathansthehomemadeseries4337]

Do it if it makes you happy!

[@tylera7283]

I love your channel!

(bleep)Mart 28:27

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

As my dad likes to say, Sprawl-mart. That's a Simpsons reference

[@dmspare3184]

kinkisharyocoasters I’m guessing “Sprawl-Mart” refers to how common Walmart is in suburban areas?

[@kinkisharyocoasters]

@@dmspare3184 That and also the fact that the stores take up huge amounts of space
