Very, very cool JP!

[@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.

What a neat experience! You can put that on your resume now. 😁

[@JPVideos81]

Haha

[@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.

[@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

[@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 😆

[@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.

[@barbara-pigeonbray4579]

@@JPVideos81 Good to know !! Thanks ...

[@gaylebrodt676]

How cool was that? I can imagine you enjoyed every minute of that! You sure looked like you were! Very awesome and what an incredible experience for you! Great video JP, thank you so much!

[@JPVideos81]

Definitely an experience I wont forget

[@patriciasentz4950]

Wow, Jay. You looked like you'd been running that equipment all your life, like you belonged there! Is that the first time you've ever done that? Hope your feeling better!

[@SueGirling68]

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 ❤

[@ig101]

omg this is so cool!

[@stanleydomalewski8497]

Very Interesting Video !

[@outandaboutsciencewithmr.g]

Jay that was stellar man!! I think you and that car should be the next big thing in Mario Kart!! Like you could be a dog with a miners helmet and you could be J Dawg!! You could throw pick hammers at the other players or pieces of coal!! LOL 😂

[@AJOCONNELLNEWPORT]

SUPER FUN !!!!!

[@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 😁

[@JamieMakin]

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.

Not just American made, Pennsylvania Made!

[@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.

[@carmenconcepcion447]

Wow totally awesome. Frankly I would be scare to try to ride tem.

[@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.

[@gregdiiamond3899]

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

6-8 4 ton mine cars
