CRAZY TRAIN Activity At The Gallitzin Tunnels

Ready for some Crazy Train Action? Hope you said yes, because this video has lots of it. Join myself, RJ78 Productions and our friend Dan as we film some mega freight trains passing through the Gallitzin Tunnels. This location can be accessed from both sides and offers some incredible views of the trains. On top of that, we had some not so favorable weather conditions, which made for some interesting segments while filming. So I invite you to come along with me as we catch another train. Enjoy

Those foundations are from the houses for ventilation blowers when it was 2 single track tunnels to blow out the smoke from the steam engines

[@sharonjose9716]

Music to my ears.

[@Galaxy2517]

My rule is pretty much anyone that appreciates trains and their history as much as I do can't make a bad video... Hat tip to you!

[@bsage5514]

Agreed!!

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for the kind words.

Thank you for sharing!!! My daughters' great-grandfather worked for the Pennsylvania railroad. It was nice to be able to share this with them as a way for them to connect with him since he passed before they were born. Looking forward to more wonderful train footage! Take care!

The caboose was a wonderful sight to see!!! Beautiful pictures also Jay!!! I had to watch twice!!! Thank you for sharing and if the video was longer I still woulda enjoyed every minute of it 😊💙😊 The only thing that woulda made it better was if at least one hada been a steam locomotive!!! But that's not your fault!!! Take care, stay safe and God bless you!!!

[@JPVideos81]

I agree. Steam would make it better.

I loved making this video. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@robertadams6606]

If you continue down that Street in Gallitzin turn right at the bottom go around to the right you can get a "Birdseye view" of trains but it is marked "private Crossing" you can see through to the other side just like on the East Portals.

[@JPVideos81]

Thanks for the info

[@rj78productions88]

I was really disappointed that we didn't get to see Fire Marshal Bill, I am such a huge fan and wanted a selfie with him. 🤣

Honey J it would be neat to see a video from your vantage point. What a great job to have.

[@shaye6598]

@@MrLassylady Ah Linda I’m so sorry I was just joking around with JP. I always say that I’m driving the train or waving from the train. Do get me wrong wish I was but I’d be off the rails more than on. I’m so sorry it’s my stupid sense of humour. Watch out for me waving on the next train😂 Hope you have a wonderful Christmas Linda.🎅🏼🎄 Hope you can forgive me 🙏

Seems like the stars lines up with getting a great vantage point, falling snow and incredible train action.

[@caroleroseburgh1344]

Hi JP 🙋🏿‍♀️. Watching that train coming through the tunnel WAS kinda creepy. Because it looked like it WAS moving so slow. And with the snow it was really kinda eerie. 🤔🧐🙄😱. Cool Video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏿👏👏👏👏👏. THE Snow Effect WAS TOTALLY Awesome ‼️😎

Rails bent up bad in tunnel

It's probably good that it wasn't warm out so you didn't smell the trash train nearly as bad... Lol. Great video.

[@JPVideos81]

Good point

[@KflanntheRailfan]

I had to comment on this the second train you caught a heritage unit. Unit number 1030. It’s number boards are the years of the NS (1982 and the 2012).

[@RevengeOfTheApocalypse]

You had me at the intro 🤩

Haha

Mountains...they have their own weather...Blue knob is the same...10 degrees temperature difference. And storms almost always stall at the ridges. .thanks for sharing...awesome footage...❤❄

Our friend Dan who was in the video lives nearby and explained the same. Was definitely colder than where our hotel was.

[@kellysaunooke740]

Pennsylvania is a pretty state.we have a caboose here in my town and they used to decorate it for Christmas but stopped doing it several years ago.

[@dennismanbook]

That must be the original porthole window caboose for the PRR @19:14 , seems like that was a favorite by Lionel making al them lighted and also in other road names especially during their modern (1970 onward ) era. Cool tunnels with the stack trains passing through!

[@user-David-Alan]

Very nice. Did you notice how wavy the tracks were in the smaller tunnel. Holy sheep dip! Thanks for sharing.

[@JPVideos81]

I did. Zooming in really shows the imperfections.

It might be crazy but its still awesome my friend. Just seeing them going in and out of the tunnel makes even more awesome to watch too. Thats one thing i could do forever is sit and watch trains going up and down the tracks. Thanks so much for sharing the awesome action my friend.

[@JPVideos81]

Its such a great experience to see, hear and feel the raw power of these mega freight trains.

[@tooling_engineer]

The track profile inside the second active tunnel around 14:40 could use a little adjustment.

[@JPVideos81]

They are going for the Rollercoaster effect

[@StantonsJourneys]

Wow those tunnels been around for that long amazing. Pretty awesome area and the second one was showing off is horn skills lol. Fire Marshall bill lol, what was he doing weird. Thank you for sharing.

You should go to carney crossing. Its about a mile and a half west of cresson and westbounds scream through there. It's a real good place to catch trains at.

You weren't kidding ...lots of action there . Loved the intro and photo montage ....Hard to believe contruction was started in 1849 ! The snow was an added bonus ..so pretty . Were those actual trash dumpsters on the garbage train ? That's very interesting . Wonder where they were taking it ? Loved the little red caboose and the rearing stallion icon on front of the locomotive . Thank you for sharing . Always learn something new in a JPVideo : }

[@SueGirling68]

Hi Jay, just a quick question, I don't understand why they would put a really high fence up across the bridge for pedestrian's at 20:25 to stop people obviously doing something stupid but then they have big cut out windows that people can climb through, it doesn't make sense to me. A pretty cool day out and the trains looked great as they came through the tunnel with the snow swirling around them. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx💖🤘

[@JPVideos81]

I unfortunately dont know. Maybe a local to the area will have an explanation.

[@mollycaz1]

Why did they close the third tunnel down ? Could it be opened again ?

[@JPVideos81]

Decline in rail traffic and costly to maintain a 3rd tunnel.

[@heatherfranklin5608]

Do u know why they closed it

[@JPVideos81]

I believe decline in business and no longer needed 4 tracks.

[@frankforrest1597]

Awesome Jay. The little bit of snow added to the great views of the trains and tunnels. Very nice that someone thought to put openings to photograph/ see the train activity through the chain link fenceing (1st time seeing that). It would have been something else, if Fire Marshal Bill showed up again at the same time,lol. 👍✌️

[@JPVideos81]

First time seeing that too. Guess its low time of fire season so no fire Marshall bill lol
