Search For The Abandoned Train Car Continues - Plus Suprising Find

[@JPVideos81]

I want to hear from you... Did you still enjoy it despite us not finding the train car? Also, what are your thoughts with no music? Stay safe my friends.

[@martyjones9374]

Absolutely enjoyed it!!! Never a dull moment hanging with you. Boys with their toys! I wanted to join the rock throwing game. Explosion! Look at Billy Goat run, lol! All your pics just amazing Jay. Voting 2 for Mike to host! Still make me queasy on that trestle. Proud of you for conquering so many times. Incredibly fun video! :)

It's always fun to virtually come along with you. Maybe it was still there, but just covered with a camoflauge tarp. Just kidding! Lol :)

[@rxc640]

Yes I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Either way is just fine(music).

[@carlavision6143]

Yes, and especially with no music!

[@sheilahadden302]

Yes, really enjoyed it, specially you guys having some fun . My hands were sweating while you were on the trestle, as usual. .

[@nancygermain6924]

The journey to your destinations are always worthwhile. Can’t explore myself so I love the outside trips, disappointment last a moment, if you don’t find your destination, enjoyment so much longer. I’m quite deaf, so music if not intrusive is alright, it has its place. I prefer the natural sounds, people talk, & the nature that encompasses it all! Thanks again.

[@aicirtkciub9167]

No music is the best part. I like the sounds of the outside. I find it immersive and relaxing.

[@nancygermain6924]

Once when I was much younger, climbing a mountain in Connecticut, I loved the moss carpet so much so I brought a bunch home & put it around several plants! The beauty was fleeting as it killed all of my house plants, about forty plants! Live & learn. Thanks for doing the climbing.

Being an adventurer myself. I love hanging out with you and exploring. I am always saying wow that is too cool. Keep on Keeping on my friend. I was up one night and couldn't sleep. I don't get on youtube. and have no idea what possessed me that night. But I was up for hours, the intrigue never stopped, and I am addicted. Thank you very much. The mission was to find a missing boxcar. The adventure took on the many twists and turns of exploration and discovery. In the end THAT is what it's all about isn't it?! Now I have to go back and rewatch so many, so I can comment on the specifics that made me go wow. lol Thanks JP

[@carolinemccormick6194]

Yes I sure do enjoy your silliness and sense of humor.Thank you too for the History lessons too. This Country has a lot of History and where I live in Missouri and so does Arkansas where I live in my younger years.. I lived all my life in the Southern States.

We discovered your channel today. Watched a few videos. I'm originally from Pennsylvania, Western PA. I now live in beautiful Kentucky which is similar to PA, but warmer.

[@SJFrzrbrn]

I got a little wobbly just watching the rail bridge crossing.

[@ledicarusmedia]

Agreed, I used to cross one of these all the time as a teenager and even then I usually stayed as close to the middle of it as possible so I wouldn't catch a glimpse down over the edge.

They wouldn't have an outhouse next to a well due to risk of contamination.

that 1928 in the trestle rail was cool to see...my mom was born in Allentown in 1927 RIP. I miss her everyday. Awesome video enjoyed it all! Great to see all the guys came along too. Mike can do a meet up. Will be fun to see where he and the peeps go. The videos are better than going to the movies.

[@JPVideos81]

Thank you

[@futball24]

RIP Mom.

[@johnmurray4918]

I find all your videos relaxing and straight forward. I at least personally enjoy the fact you don't seem to feel the need to include much back ground music as some other video's do.Thanks for taking us along to see what you find, since many of us don't have the ability or time to get out into the woods.

[@JPVideos81]

Glad you enjoy the content

[@kaiyotee2475]

I think background music has its place, mainly good for intros and outros, but in the video it can be distracting.

Your commentary is both humorous and educational. What is learning without some fun. It is nothing.

[@johnmurray4918]

Like Cliff says sometimes you go out and don't find what you are looking for, so not finding the train car was unfortunate, but understandable. I look forward to watching your videos and Cliffs videos. For those of us who like history what you are doing is always interesting and helps us see back into the past. Being able to hear the sounds of the woods and the running water is an extra treat too. The video's both you guys did on the abandoned town of Green Vale made me wish I could have seen it before it was destroyed, by the interstate. It is just my opinion but I think what you are doing is perfect the way it is, so please keep up the good work and thank you.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks so much!

[@rca1070]

I used to go wheeling back in the area where the train car was about 15+ years ago. If my memory is correct, it was right before the area that was washed out. We used to be able to ride right through until it washed out, then we had to go up to the left and poke around the trails up there. I was there one time during hunting season I think on a Sunday and a bunch of people were shooting up the rail car. No hunting in PA on Sundays back then, so it was safe to ride the trails without pissing any hunters off. Follow the old rail beds in the area and you'll come across other old railroad bridge piers that are very tall spanning a valley. Also lots of old lakes and reservoirs along the old rail bed that I think back in the day, ice blocks were cut from the lakes and put on rail cars and sent to NYC for refrigeration.

[@amandajohnston3807]

I must admit when you were crossing the bridge my anxiety was very high. I'm afraid of heights and my belly was turning the whole time, but honestly a great video like all of your others.

[@JPVideos81]

Its nerve wracking. Thanks for joining me on the adventure.

I did enjoy this. It's my nightly walk . Love my stroll on the Tressel. Thank you for the journey

[@mikeexplorer]

You did have the correct location for the old boxcar. Last time I saw it there was in 2008. When I returned to the area in 2011 it was gone. It was at a time scrap metal was high so no doubt someone cut it up for scrap. Around 23:00 in your video where the one guy is walking a grade above the Erie, that was the level track of the PCC Gravity Railroad, plane 21 level. In several places the gravity railroad track ran close to the Erie since the Erie was the replacement for the gravity railroad. At 9:00 in your video, the remains you see were the old Nay Aug Brick Works. Bricks were manufactured there. Your notation about the bridge being rehabbed is somewhat correct. As of now the bridge has been re-decked and if you look on my channel I have drone video before and after. I-380/84 bridges are going to be torn down and replaced and they are using the old railroad bridge to access construction vehicles across Roaring Brook. After that is done, parts of the Erie line are planned for a rail-trail. The main part of that would be from across the bridge to Elmhurst, it parallels route 435 all the way. I also took drone video of that area since it will be changed. I am not sure how much will be a rail-trail on the side you walked because its landlocked. The area where the rails are still present is not formally abandoned, listed as "out of service" it is the divide where the line was severed in 1972 and the other remaining section was in use up to 1983. Rumor has it they want to raise the section of the bridge over the active tracks to allow passage of taller cars but I can't find the article now. It would think it would be too expensive to do it for a walking trail so my guess is once the bridge replacement project is complete, that section of the bridge (the girder part) will be removed.

[@JPVideos81]

I heard about the bridge, construction and rail trail info last year. Ill be heading back down there to do an update on it myself. Thanks for commenting.

Those wells are very dangerous they should have a metal plate on top of them. What if some one walking in the woods with snow on the ground you would never see those holes. I do know you will be finding treasures in that woods, its amazing what is all in the woods.I am glad you men have a good time, why not, you are 18 forever, who wants to get old anyway. You gyes are a blast. I think you all did a fantastic job. I can't get over how much stuff is actually in the woods. Walking above on that rail road track would frek me out, that too dangerous in my opinion. Heights normally don't bother me but over water that's a different question cause I don't know how to swim.

Not sure how I missed this video but watched it on Friday. In a way the trip sort of reminded me of another search by a group of guys, along the rails looking for a kid and getting into all sorts of things along the, from leeches, to junkyard dog, to bridge where they had to jump because a train was coming and ran into a bunch of toughes. Hmm, if I could only remember that story :)

Little too late, but was still a great day of adventure.

[@markvick3984]

JP, I think I found your box car on Google Maps. It looks to be in the clearing where you thought it was. If you click on the button that shows historical imagery and go all the way back to 1992, there is a large rectangular object in that spot. It casts a shadow in some of the pictures, so it was not a glitch in the image. Last time it shows up is around 2005 in one of the color images. Then the area gets overgrown and you can't tell if there is anything there or not. Nice video. Stay safe and stay healthy.

By what say the box car was not there. But looks like where it was laying is where it was washed out. Look at the picture you posted of box car. The ridge where ATV was at crossing original spot where train car was laying.

[@coldblue9mm]

The fall off the bridge won't kill you, it's the sudden stop at the bottom that will. I'm proud of you. Be careful and I notice you avoid those rotten cross ties. Did you ever look on the side of the rail for the manufacturer and year the rail was rolled (made)? There's usually a forward slash for the month of the year it was made. For example /// 1920 would mean it was made March of 1920. They put a lot of info on the web (side) of the rail. One side has all the above info and the other side will usually have just a number like 13298 which is the batch number. A, B, C (letters) mean what part of the batch. A is usually the worse of the rail, has high defects and such. Next time, check out the sides of the rail and get a pic for me, would you? I'll translate it for you to the best of my ability. You don't have to be way out in the middle, on the approach of the bridge works. Thanks JP
