Operating a 1948 Mine Locomotive / Lansford #9 Coal Mine

Ready to ride into an old Coal Mine on a 1948 Electric Mine Locomotive?
In this video we get to see what it's like to run/operate an Electric Mine Locomotive (aka a mule) that was built in 1948. The UGM and Lansford #9 mine made this opportunity possible for those who attended the private tour. You'll get to see what it's like being in the operators seat and also a few different vantage points both onboard and inside the mine.

Hope you didnt get too wet on the ride

[@gusshadleythelunaticfromar7125]

JP, iam so glad you took us along on this trip, I have been to four mines,Pocahontas, Beckley, Portal 51 lynch ky, and the Centralia Mine, but not this one, this one is like a working mine, and getting to run the Tram motor, is just way too cool.

[@brianblase5573]

You look like you're thoroughly enjoying yourself, yet still nervous as heck. I can't imagine being my grandfather (died of Black Lung in 1986 at the young age of 64) who had no choice but to go into those mines to make a living. My, how times have changed.

[@JPVideos81]

I was a little nervous operating such a heavy powerful piece of equipment, but I had a good teacher.

[@janetfeathers4128]

Very, very cool JP!

[@adzadzy]

I bet you enjoyed that jp, a unique experience, have a good 2022 👍

[@JPVideos81]

Without a doubt I certainly did

[@themeparkreconnoiter9787]

As an a coaster enthusiast; I hope manufacturers like Vekoma ,RMC ,and MACK would model their trains after these battery mine locomotives for their Family Mine Train Coasters.

[@cessna54tango]

Great Job JP, glad you enjoyed the experience!!! Very nice video!

[@frankforrest1597]

Awesome stuff Jay. It's amazing that engine is 78 years old and still works just as well now as it did in 1948. At one point I thought it was gonna derail from the dips, good thing it didn't. Great video 👊👍

[@JPVideos81]

The tracks had some rough and bouncy areas, but it handles it well. Almost like an Indiana Jones mine ride haha

[@frankforrest1597]

@@JPVideos81 lol, I thought that while watching the footage 😆

[@cynthiacleaver9742]

That was fun!!! Although I think we were speeding a couple times. 😂😂 Thanks to UGM for giving this experience to JP, RJ for filming and JP for taking us along. Cool experience!!! 💖💙💖💙💖💙

[@JPVideos81]

Thankfully no speeding tickets were issued 😁

[@richdiscoveries]

Dude, this is so cool!! I'm surprised they let you go that fast. I mean I know it's not that fast in the grand scheme of things but considering its 74 year old equipment in a mine that's well over a hundred years old, that is awesome.. And being that age that is some incredibly heavy equipment. All solid steel and the batteries alone probably way more than a passenger car. What a great experience, so cool man. Thank you for sharing, and as always stay safe and God bless

[@JPVideos81]

We had a great instructor. I could only imagine going top speed in there haha. You should try to attend one of their events sometime this year.

[@richdiscoveries]

@@JPVideos81 I was thinking about it last year when you went but tgen everything happened and the world shut down. Now that things are opening back up, this summer I plan to attend much more. Definitely want to do the turnpike tunnels but this is something that looks extremely cool as well

Brilliant work Jay, you did awesome. It does make you think though, the miners would have been riding in on those for a full days mining and then out again at end of shift. Thank you for sharing, much love. xx ❤

[@ThomasBMagwn]

@@cessna54tango That's right!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 I bet that yellow paint is original too!

[@cessna54tango]

@@ThomasBMagwn Not sure if its original, but some of the paint is from when it was in use at Glen Burn mine in Shamokin. I know the battery box was repainted once at no.9 not sure about the rest of the locomotive. this one is used for maintenance in the mine, not the tour train. so its not kept as shinny and clean haha.

Awesome video thanks jp 👍

nice video and content, ran motor (Brookville) for years retired now, enjoyed the ride!

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

Enjoyed the ride very much....looked like it was really speedin thru there ..LOL...Didn't realize it was always (?) so wet in the mine.. Would make it miseraby cold in the winter time I imagine ... Thank you for the fun ride ..( Hope you are feeling better ) .

[@JPVideos81]

Water always travels through the earth, so water is very common in these mines. But good thing is that it's always in the mid 50's the entire year. So during cold winter times, it would be quite comfortable.

You look like a pro at that! I bet that was a lot of fun! I've still gotta catch up on your other videos in this series, but this one piqued my interest the most. I've done the public tour at that mine, but would love to go back and do this private tour someday if they do it again.

Almost felt like an engineer.

Looks like fun JP. How many coal cars can it pull. Miners ought to make more. That’s back breaking work.
