I Made a NEW DISCOVERY Along This Rail Trail

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks to everyone who attended the first ever ride along event and thanks for stopping by to watch.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Well done JP n All d People out n gt to watch cycling locations

[@drone521]

One of the most important things needed to run steam engines is a reliable source of pure clean acid free water. Won't destroy the boilers. I suspect that's what the dam was for. The gate valve probably fed a pipeline to an engine watering facility, or possibly the tank shown earlier. The Pennsylvania Railroad had numerous water companies along it's route for that very purpose. In western PA, The Mountain Water Supply Company was one. Ranging from 12" to 36" pipe, it ran from Indian head PA to 28th st. Pittsburgh. Many parts of it are still in use today having been purchased by water companies.

That was such a fun day! Thanks for hosting that and getting us all together. I really enjoyed seeing everyone enjoy a trail that I know and love so well, and I even discovered a few new things along the way along with all of you. Really enjoyed your exploration back to that little dam. I had no idea it was there and since I can't get back there on my own, I'm glad I could see it through your eyes. Looking forward to future meetups whether on foot or on wheels!

[@JPVideos81]

That trail is in my top 3 so far and I always enjoy my time on it. Thanks again for coming to the event.

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

Great n Heartfelt to See People Out together dats what's Needed More Everywhere My Hope Brian ireland big JP fan

[@mimig5357]

Nice video, it looked like y'all had a very fun day and very interesting finds. When I saw the part where you are on the metal walkway looking over the spillway in the woods, there was a ball in all those limbs that was piled up and I started laughing to myself and said well, it must be officially abandoned!! Thank you for taking me along! Enjoyed it!

[@JPVideos81]

Yes! We found a toy!

[@emeraldsoundproductions]

I thoroughly enjoyed myself that day riding with everyone and exploring the rest of the trail that I wasn't on yet. Thanks for hosting the meetup and great video editing.

[@palyba1]

How awesome it was to find that dam! So cool! Looks like everyone had a great time too! Thank you for sharing! 💙

[@gaylebrodt676]

You sure had a great ride along and meetup! Looks like all of you had a fun time and what a wonderful discovery and other cool things like the old box car and other items! Beautiful place! Great video JP! Thank you!

[@JPVideos81]

It was a fun event and it's always great to discover something new.

[@garymessina1609]

Very cool adventure and ride along looks like everyone enjoyed themselves I did as well thanks JP and all for a great video

[@MargaretEllison2023]

I enjoy exploring with you!!

[@JPVideos81]

😊

[@TonyTitleGuy]

I'm kinda new at KZbin, but I seem to keep finding more of your abandoned rail line videos, which fascinate me. Anyway, I hope my remarks are not redundant. The type of truss bridge was named after the engineer responsible for the truss design. Warren, Howe and Towne were a few of the names used, dating back to the 1800's.

[@danthechevymanc6b475]

You should explore the area again in the late fall or early spring. You might find more that you missed.

[@JPVideos81]

I agree, probably more hiding out there.

[@kennyrichard2971]

That was fun and interesting things to see

[@walterlangston4484]

that old bridge in the creek is so wield

[@terryciavola5962]

Interesting Jason! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you! 🥰❤️

[@JPVideos81]

My pleasure

[@musclecarmitch908]

Awesome video and meetup JP! Very cool find! Thanks for bringing us that couldn't meet up along too!

[@JPVideos81]

It was a fun day and glad you checked it out.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Beautiful day for this awesome ...fun explore . You got some great still shots (fun seeing the ball.) Hope everybody had a safe ride and no injuries .💙👍

[@JPVideos81]

Another toy in the woods! Haha

[@Keith58x]

I would confirm that that bridge was part of a road to the quarry. I remember the trucks driving between the quarry and the Giant Portland Cement Plant up the trail about 1/2 mile. My grandmother lived just around the corner.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for confirming

[@georgetrains6168]

great place ride a bike or a walk 🚲😀👍

[@rdety]

Interesting video....I'm only 47 mins from there...going to go check it out.

[@matthewschleicher9419]

Great video nice job JP

[@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413]

excellent video JP, love the scenery.

[@gregdiamond6023]

That dam is a cool find J! There is no rhyme or reason for something being somewhere. You just have to put it under the just 'cause category. Thanks for taking us along on another cool afventire J.

[@JPVideos81]

Agreed

[@kennethwallace4338]

Looks like a excellent place. Excellent video.

[@johnlaforte700]

Thanks for the adventure. 😊👏😎🙏

[@normanjones8089]

Thanks so much for sharing these awesome videos JP. We can always depend on you for bringing your expertise and knowledge on these areas that you explore. Thanks again for bringing us along with you on these wonderful journeys.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for the kind words

[@MJARTBYDAY]

Omg I love Chevy chase he was one of the best and funniest but my ultimate fave is John Candy .. I have one of his last autographs which he rarely signed for people. I have it in a frame protected. I loved this video of you and your friends Jay ... Having friends is the best and you get to go on adventures. I am disabled so my walking days are over and its why I like watching your videos Jay. Amazing thank you so much for sharing your experiences.

[@JPVideos81]

I'm also a big fan of John Candy

[@lukehansberry]

Very cool love exploring

[@christinevangilder6245]

That definitely was a cool find JP 🤠! Thank you for the ride along 👍. Those bikes look pretty snazzy ⚡🚴⚡

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for taking a ride with me

[@jamesalinio5277]

Cool riding video JP I like these kinds of things and a little exploring along the way I went out for a walk by myself today down to the old pipeline that my dad and I (mostly me) had cleared, there is downed trees and the Japanese knotweed was rather thick, but the trail is still open to an extent, and after seeing this video, I may just take my cell phone and do a video, there is some abandoned railroad structures in the area, even though there is an active line that runs daily through it, and if you are available, maybe you can come up to Susquehanna and I'll show you the places that are still standing,

[@JPVideos81]

One day I'll make my way up there.

[@tiffanyrose8810]

I love site seeing or hiking in the woods it's fun great video JP.

[@bennetts-revenge_2]

Finding that dam was pretty cool! Since I don't have a vehicle to get around, I enjoy your adventures. I sure wouldn't be going that train bridge either, me and heights don't get along too good lol

[@JPVideos81]

Glad to have you along for the adventure

[@hiworldstephensonultranate290]

oh JP d Freedom of cycling up n down hill brings bk such memories Do it Again gt to see People Out Brian

[@MOTO_DOSE]

That little brdge/ramp is probably so the railroad could get machinery down there to build and maintain the bridge

[@JPVideos81]

It's a possibility

[@mattd2080]

Nice scooter gang👍

[@rockfaceink5086]

That was an excellent video enjoyed every moment of it. Love the coffer damn or whatever it wants was.

[@holliepajak3772]

What an awesome video. Thank you for taking me along on the trail. Great find finding the dam. Btw, I would be the one riding the traditional bike. Lol

[@JPVideos81]

😊

[@catherineengle4196]

I was going to say the same thing about that bridge. There was a road there once but the landscape has been altered. Great video and great pictures. ✌

[@robertmanley7556]

If I lived closer I would certainly road it with you cool video ....neat old dam for sure there are a lot of cool places in Pennsylvania for sure !! 👍👍 Great video as always !!

[@shettikkawoods]

Awesome 👍🏽

[@mountainpines8417]

Nice video and beautiful area and that grass along the tour looks very nice. So, pretty green.... I like the box car it should be restored. Sorry didn't comment last night. I had a real bad head cold and felt pretty warm. Feeling better today.

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you're feeling better

It's definitely a fun time and the ebikes & scooters help cover multiple miles without getting worn out.

Appreciate you watching

Hi..haven't seen your videos for a bit...have u been alright??? Thanks for always sharing your videos, as I can't go myself..take care.....sincerely, Rosey

[@JPVideos81]

I've been releasing 2 videos every week, check my videos tab to see what you missed.

[@danmathers141]

10:06; My guess is road bridge. I speculate an access road running along side the creek. Early guess.

[@donnasilver940]

Cool

[@tarareads23]

The boxcar! Love stuff like that. So many questions. But one us could you tell by the type and look of the canned goods how long ago they were there? I’d love to walk out there when it’s much cooler. I’ll walk anywhere when it’s much cooler. 🤣 That bridge. So odd and weird with how it’s just there. I’ll go with you on that theory. The foot bridge. 😱 The things you all find. And it’s amazing how nature just takes over. Was that a beach ball in it? lol Thanks for sharing!

[@JPVideos81]

Didnt check a date on the cans, but I believe a couple years old. It was a basketball.

[@donaldjohnson9401]

Rail Trail was right on Cool

[@williamallen6934]

I love it

[@CaptRich-bi3gp]

17:25 Was that an old Pullman car?

[@victorgoins6131]

I'll bet that near collision 💥 almost made you soil yourself. 😆

[@Avotts]

I am wondering about the cement cores. Is it possible that between the old cement factory and the footbridge that they may have formed a sort of dam or road with them? From major flood damage that I've seen I think that destroyed the old foot bridge dam area and forced all the debris into the area.

[@JPVideos81]

It could be possible

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

I wander if that old box car was derailed....? As for the brakes, either warm soapy water or Eagle One brake cleaner would cure the squeak. I think he's right about the low bridge, makes a lot of sense. I never seen a bridge that sat that low before.

[@JPVideos81]

I believe it was intentionally placed there as it's sitting on ties, but why it was put there is a good question.

[@Chaotic-Demise77]

@@JPVideos81 that's right, I forgot you mentioned in the video the boxcar is already on rail ties. Maybe it was part of an old sidling of what used to be there...?

[@Johnketes54]

Wouldn't be cement core samples but rock core samples probably a wooden storage facility on that bank which has rotted away spilling the samples

[@sonplusone7059]

So sad I couldn’t make it.

[@Just1Nora]

I'd say that ramp is for vehicles to access the underside of the railroad bridge for repairs. That bicycle needs new break pads not WD-40! You'd be shocked how many adults ride bikes but never check their breaks, chains, cables, tires, etc, or perform, or have a cycle shop perform, routine maintenance on their bike like they do with their car. Oh and y'all, if you're riding a bike or scooter please, please, wear a helmet and close toed shoes with a heel strap, preferably tennis shoes, especially if you're going to go tromping off into the woods or on rusty, and/or possibly broken, abandoned structures. I've had nails go right through athletic sneakers and almost my foot and have gotten a few tetanus boosters due to being reckless and getting scratched or poked on metal during photography sessions. Tetanus boosters are only good for 5-10 yrs and your original dose quit protecting you likely in your early teens...Oh, and wear sunscreen and drink water. I just hate to see people behaving recklessly. Be careful. Be safe. But of course have fun!

[@JPVideos81]

The wd40 was a joke 😁

[@darlenegood]

cool find with that dam...what are the core samples for?

[@JPVideos81]

Testing the concrete mixture for quality control

[@703am]

great video, looks like a lot of fun too...wanted to ask, do you prefer a bike or scooter or maybe it really doesn't matter

[@JPVideos81]

It really depends on the situation and location. Scooter is easier to travel with, but bike can usually go further and on rougher terrain. For a location like this, either is fine. Thanks for checking out the video.

[@Johnketes54]

Boxcart? Probably a home 80 year's ago, I live near the beach and we used to have a monthly free booklet lot's of advertisements and 6 pieces Usally relating to history in the area but now with the Internet and finding volunteers to deliver them fail to understand why they weren't employed money from advertisements, A upturned boat with a wall underneath it to make a house was down our beach 150 year's ago, 60 year's later it had gone, I only knew about from a b&w photograph in that booklet

[@Johnketes54]

How times have changed at 16 i cycled to work 6 miles away and never thought anything of it to save £0.13 pence each way by bus unfortunately came the winter batteries for the light which was the law and enforced was about £0.40 every 3 day's so a bit pointless

[@EmeLightheartArtisanDesigns]

What is building called surrounded by the gate?

[@jayollie3504]

It really sucks that the people that explore “abandon” places feel there is an open door policy, NO there is no open door policy, if it is private property it is private property, even if no one is living there at the time it is still someone’s property, maybe old family home they don’t want to get rid of. Only open door thing is for police when called to a residence, and the door is unlocked they can investigate. So no there is no “open door or open wall” policy, if it is private property and not city property you are trespassing. Look up the laws

I love seeing how Americans have taken one of the core “be healthy” activities like riding a bike, and turned it into an obesity transportation system. Please people, get healthy. Seeing more than 3/4 of the riders overweight is a sad, real life cliché.
