Passage To Another World, What I Found Hidden In Plain Site

[@DesertDrifter]

@19:16 you caught something really phenomenal.

[@MountainWestProductions]

I see it, that’s interesting. Really is..good eye! It looks as if it’s running at me and you can actually see it originate from the depths of the tunnel not the out side or from me. There’s a good few seconds of some apparition..I’m curious what others think. I’ve never had something like this happen..Awesome!

[@bluwtrgypsy]

@@MountainWestProductions I saw the apparition. Funny, I was thinking that there might be some anomaly in there, and there it was.

[@DesertDrifter]

Definitely was paranormal, first time watching this video. I was like yep there it goes. Surprised you didn’t see it or catch vibes

[@MountainWestProductions]

Appreciate your review a lot of friends are shock by the apparition as well! I did have a strange feeling towards the end but chalked it up to the semis running wild on the highway. First of such verifiable encounter with something tangible as well. Glad to here from you Drifter and happy to share👍👋👋

[@MountainWestProductions]

Pretty wild first time I’ve actually had something like this happen. What indescribable occurrence/situation! Happy to share with you.

[@newarkman2663]

Sweet. My mother and father both worked for the Southern Pacific RXR. Interesting stuff here. Thank you for sharing.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you, I appreciate your interest and personal context to our adventure. Man I bet the have stories…What a time when railroads were king.. So fascinating.. Thank you❤️

[@Jewelmind]

Awww, wish I was there checking it out

[@jamessmith7691]

Good video, thanks for taking us along.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Absolutely, Truly my pleasure. Thank you for coming along with us!👍👍👋

[@slimpickins9124]

First time watchin', pretty good content. Not too old to travel just too old to hike any distance, so thanks for the adventure.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Well happy to share, it’s members like yourself sir who share the same passions and excitement for adventure that make this channel great truly. I am just happy to share and bring the passion to life for everyone. Thank you for the kind words, means a lot. Thank you, sincerely 👋👋

[@Allthingsfun1221]

That cut in with the single rock standing up. Bet its a grave 🪦

[@MountainWestProductions]

Interesting point..You may be on to something here if it was a Chinese or foreign worker at the time, a grave site like this would not be uncommon considering customs of the time.. Nice food for thought, Thank you! Happy to share hope today’s going well for you! Thanks👍👍👋

[@Cody1707]

Pretty cool to stumble upon this video, i was there a couple of months ago passing by and had to stop to get over to this tunnel. We built a crossing out of rocks underneath the road bridge a ways down and went over to it. The graffiti’s all the same and probably some of my shoe prints could be seen there, I guess not too much traffic makes it way through.

[@MountainWestProductions]

It's a pretty neat place, and interesting to hear of your experience! It's amazing to think about how many people have come through this place over the years. More than happy to share with you, thank you👍👍👋

[@bison2022]

Thanks I've lived in west glacier for 50 years and have never ventured into any tunnels. Love the graffiti,I might have to venture out abit more. Thanks

[@MountainWestProductions]

Highly recommend, I’m in the area sometimes! Be cool to run into another explorer from time to time. Do it! I always say you never regret a bad day out on the trail and definitely nevertheless a good one. Thanks for dropping in👍👍👋

[@Ramen.Butterbeard]

Imagine all the thousands of people who passed through this tunnel, moving forward in time, past and present coming together in your adventure, thank you ❤️

[@MountainWestProductions]

Very true indeed, nice word to reflect on.. Appreciate this and the kind words. Happy to have you along as always.. Thank you👍👍👋

[@charlesglandon7840]

Thanks for taking us along again I'm always sad to see the video end, waiting for the next one. Have a wonderful Thanks Giving with the family.

[@MountainWestProductions]

My pleasure as always Charles, always completes a episode hearing from you.. Happy Thanksgiving, I will enjoy family and friends. You as well, thank you.. More to come and excited for the winter season adds a new dynamic to our adventures and a little more risk! I’m very invested in a really fun one coming up..Excited to share and bring the crew along.. Have a great day buddy👍👍👋

[@johnsmart964]

The tunnel is in great condition, we are most grateful to you for taking us with you on this great explore. We are glad you didn't see any bear prints when you were there! It looks like this railway has been closed for a long time. It is always sad to see, bearing in mind the effort put in to build these routes.

[@MountainWestProductions]

It’s truly a wonder, happy to share. Thank you and Thanks for sharing your insights and interest. The condition is great, surprising actually. I have visited many but this one here had a special energy and really neat construct about it. It’s nice to know you see the same and I can bring a little wonder your way while out on the trail. Thank you and hope todays treating you well!👍👍👋

[@snchilders]

Wow, what a cool tunnel. If you sealed off part of it, wouldn't it make a cool cabin? I liked the weird graffiti, too.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Special place, happy to share and have you along! I have thought the same, however it’s still up in the air. We will on the contrary be finding a spot to build the homestead with our channel and I do have a sneaking suspicion we will have an abandoned town and mine nearby!😉 If not out the front door, stay tuned!

[@katdilliann]

It's very possible that my grandfather worked on building the tunnel. He was from Butte and worked in mines and tunnels throughout the NW .

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you for sharing this bit, really brings a personal perspective to the site we explored. How you would love to be a fly on the wall during some of these times… Thank you👍👍👋

[@kickit59]

Outstanding video, interesting how you showed the curve of the tunnel. We have one here in Washington State that used to be for cars not too far from where I live. The main road is now down below the tunnel and it has not been used for many years. Ours is quite a bit shorter than the one you filmed. I enjoyed the video and thanks for posting!

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you for the kind words and interest as well as sharing your neck of the woods! We have a lot of members from Washington that have mentioned tremendous history left forgotten as well. Super cool stuff! Thank you👍👍👋

[@chadwick2864]

Some call it Graffiti, i call that Art. Artists put that on the walls. Some of which is pretty intense.(art) Also if the guys building and diggin this were using dynamite.. they may have used a pinch too much of a stick. And got rid of more rock than was intended. On the end you exited. Thanks for sharing

[@MountainWestProductions]

Each is own, I’m just the messenger😬😬 Personally I appreciate some, I have see some at sites that almost memorialize the spirit of such structures.. Others however are just blatant disregard.. I can respect and appreciate a good artist with style likewise however. This here definitely had some malicious intent paintings.. A good artist should see such however and turn it into something more eventually, hopefully! Thank you for dropping in and sharing your thoughts!👍👍👋

[@soozeepim2472]

AWESOME ................... TY !!!!!!! !!!

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you👋👋

[@oliverlinsley6183]

The graffiti is pretty amazing. It’s quite impressive. A dystopian art gallery. What an amazing spot.

[@WilliamKemp-w5g]

What beautiful landscape. Thank you for sharing this with us. Also interesting is that I had subbed but hadn't. My bad. I have now. Yes, Desert Drifter is quite the explorer. He doesn't miss much.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Appreciate the support, glad you enjoyed it! Thank you truly 👍👍👋

[@Captain_Commenter]

I dig this greatly, I'm living near the Blue Ghost Tunnel (Great Western) myself, opened in 1875 and abandoned around 1912.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Happy to share and happy to have you join the adventure! I hear and understand the passion we share along with the rest of our folks! Simply amazing stuff and history! It’s a never ending bug if you will isn’t it?

[@scottd7926]

Very cool find! The individual graffiti tags are any eye sore but those larger pieces are actually really well done. It's remote location has probably been its saving grace over the years

[@MountainWestProductions]

@@scottd7926 I agree, some really put out a cool vibe and also compliment the history..Others however you wonder “What the heck…” Blatant redundancy.. Might be my favorite one we have been to yet. Fantastic site, thanks for coming along and good to hear from you Scott. Hope todays a great one for ya👍👍👋

[@oilhog7365]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 brother and definitely thankful to have discovered your channel recently too! For sure a lifetime fan and subscriber and love your content! I got the blessing to spend 6 weeks in and around Dillon, Montana at the University of Montana SW Campus for my Geology Field Camp Course with the University of Arkansas back in May-June of 2010! Such an amazing and awesome experience! 🤠👏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸🫡

[@MountainWestProductions]

Happy Thanksgiving, Thank you. Truly.. Appreciate you sharing some of your backstory as well..Geology is ground zero (in my opinion) Montana as well as parts of Wyoming and a chunk of Idaho offer some of the greatest collections of formations and minerals known to man..What a journey.. Happy to have folks like yourself stay with us here in Montana and glad you valued your time. University Of Montana is pretty reliable and well as Butte Tech! Both organizations give a lot back to our communities. Again thank you for the kind words and good fortune to you sir. Appreciate you and your thoughts. Thanks 🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👋👋

[@Uniquettt]

The sound of running water and the crunching sound of ice and snow beneath the toes the odd snapping sound of dry broken twigs and clear blue sky's just right for escaping the city life exploring the past for those to view in the present time into a urban art gallery of artist's never known. Don't go to the light your too young.

[@MountainWestProductions]

I won’t, thank you for the kind words❤️

[@seabee73]

That is a really awesome tunnel. Such a waste just sitting there. Thanks for the great content. Hope you have a good Turkey Day.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Always nice to hear from you Seabee. Truly my pleasure, happy to share the adventure and some of this history. I however truly believe it’s the great folks and channel subscribers who make sharing these times great. Thank you for dropping in and the kind words. Amazing place we explored!👍👍👋

Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to the next one. 🤗

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you, appreciate it. Happy to share.👋👋

[@KRich408]

The railroad used to might still spray oil or other things to inhibit growth on the lines, whatever they used is probably still working that's why there's no growth.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Great information, I thought maybe a controlled burn and a shallow coal bed. Didn’t think of oil or a similar solution. Thank you for letting us know.👍👍👋

[@johnnycashh7148]

Piece of quartz was huge... "Montana Marble" 😅 I'm going to look for some mapping...would be cool to see a historical timelines with these tunnels etc! 🍻

[@MountainWestProductions]

I agree! Biggest hunk of quartz I’ve ever seen! It would be really cool to see a timeline of the tunnels if you come across something you want to see or find let me know I might be able to get out there if you’re time’s limited and put a camera on it! Thank you👍👍👋

[@johnnycashh7148]

@MountainWestProductions Just on a quick search on Great Northern Railroad...showed some great history of the tracks to where it stands today. BNSF (merger with Sante Fe).

[@SusanTiffany-j9m]

Think that ghost was acknowledging your appreciation of the skill and hard work it demanded to construct that tunnel. 👻👻👻

[@Robert-u3w]

I love the curiosity of history. Seeing that weird people or beings stroll all the way out in these places just carrying they spray paint cans maybe bought them or stole them still to spray graffiti in these most ugly stupid pics that make absolutely no sense at all but just to mess something up is insane.

[@jeanlawson9133]

Wow you caught a worker ghost. Walked right in front of you. So historic beautiful tunnel.😊

[@MountainWestProductions]

It was definitely a strange sighting that day. What a unique experience to share. I really truly feel like it was a spirit of some sort. Unbelievable..Truly.. Nice to hear from you, thanks for tuning in! Nice to hear from you👍👍👋

[@daisymay4183]

@MountainWestProductions i loved it so much I subbed to your channel

[@craig4557]

I hate graffiti, but look at the talent!

[@vttrucker]

The most likely reason they went back that far on the other entrance is because they needed more solid rock to anchor the wall into.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thanks for the thoughts VT nice to hear from you again!

[@sosomelodies659]

Maybe this tunnel could be repurposed for a truck stop or some type of commercial vending with a historic past.

[@StandAloneAdventures]

I believe I’d go back with an EVP recorder and see what I could get, from the looks of whatever that was you caught on camera you just might get some responses from a few questions.

[@MountainWestProductions]

I like the way you think brother, might just have to give it a go..🤔 Thank you👍

Do you ever look behind you to see if you're being stalked by a mountain lion ? The hills have eyes !

[@flinch622]

They blew the whistle on the way out. The steam left its fingerprints if you will.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Poetic, truly what happened here. Digging the thought! Thank you👍

[@DannyWildmon]

With all that snow and ice you're lucky that you didn't break your leg! Wondering off into places like that with no one with you is going to catch up to you! You don't want to find out what it's like being stranded out there with no possibly to get help. May your luck hold out.

[@MountainWestProductions]

Always try to stay safe, thank you and I also hope to keep holding onto my luck as we go. Appreciate you, thanks👋👋👍

[@kingbenjamin22]

Some fast, tiny white object flew in front of the tunnel around the 8:30 mark

[@MountainWestProductions]

19:14 The object makes a very plain appearance as well. If you stop and slow down the video you actually see an outline almost! I did notice the “orb” shape earlier as well interesting a lot of us have as well. Lots of questions here, thank you for sharing!👍👍👋

[@Outbackjackie]

Are my eyes tricking me or did you maybe catch a ghost on camera?! 👀

[@MountainWestProductions]

I have had several people acknowledge @19:16 on film a white appearance almost following me for a few seconds. This is interesting and strange..Towards the end of the tunnel I did have a feeling. However I get this often at these sites. Sometimes it’s an animal under floorboards or a hiding rattlesnake and a person nearby camping out of all things. This may be my breath but wouldn’t make sense as the air temperature was freezing throughout the day and of course in an underground tunnel. Not sure if it’s a paranormal occurrence or a friendly spirit appreciating a young fella admiring history while sharing a moment with us. Really cool to say the least and don’t want to jump to conclusions. I will leave it up to those like yourself I am sharing the adventure with. Thank you👍👍👋

[@flyprincess69]

I saw it 👻

[@MountainWestProductions]

Thank you👋👋👍

[@patrickmccleary1144]

That's awesome I wish you would have paid a little more attention to the urban art. I love Urban art It's the only way a lot of artists get to express their feelings and emotions. We have so many talented artists out there and they have so little places to express themselves.

[@michaelbohlander6711]

Im thinking this could be made into a cool house

[@MountainWestProductions]

That would be so cool! “I live in the old tunnel, down from the river. Don’t mind the friendly spirit on your way out!” Thanks for dropping in👍👍

[@IslandTides]

Are you actually alone? Geez, be safe! Aren't you afraid of Grizzly or black bear? Or mountain lion (we call em cougars...the 4-legged kind!)...You're in Montana, man!! This is like British Columbia where I live regarding wildlife....I'd be lookin' over my shoulder every so often for Grizz hunting ME! Interesting vid. Thanks! new sub here. Pretty talented graffiti artists too!

[@MountainWestProductions]

I am, sometimes I am not. Thank you for dropping in and sharing your concern, appreciate you. However in all regards I’m not sure I would want to go to the happy hunting grounds any other way..This is my passion and I am happy to take risks and even the possible consequences of such. A part of the lifestyle if you will. Sometimes I think of it but it’s apart of life and I’d rather have the mountains take me away doing what I do than anything else! Heck could be a two-legged cougar that does me in if I don’t play my cards right..(Rather the 4). Happy to share and bring you along. Truly always say and believe it’s the fine people who share this passion with me and the channel that make this stuff great. I believe that..! Thank you👍👍👋

[@nunyabusiness4510]

Crazy tunnell. Spirit at 19:16.

[@MountainWestProductions]

I have rewatched and rewatched..Crazy! Pretty cool though. Wish I could find old pictures of the site to kinda see who was working there! Thanks👋👋👍

[@SPUPRR]

That bridge looks like it was repurposed from another location and dragged there. Most likely part of the missing bridge. You can see chain holes cut in the corner so it could be lifted and moved.

[@MountainWestProductions]

That is an interesting observation, that chain hole is there clear enough also. Thank you, nice catch!👍👍👋

[@SPUPRR]

@@MountainWestProductions wonder if it was placed there and left for equipment when they pulled the line up or placed for the forestry guys in case of fire.

[@OdySlim]

Thanks for the video. Did you see the ghost appear at about 19:14? Regards from Ody Slim

[@MountainWestProductions]

Ody Slim good to hear from ya man! You’re welcome, it’s my pleasure and sincerely it’s the great people like yourself who make these adventures awesome to share to be honest. Happy to share the adventure and the ghost appearance aswell. really hard to explain but that is kind of why such happenings are so interesting..

[@archerash6695]

That clearly is weathered and caused by water..

[@stevewitman]

Looks like maybe raccoon tracks to me in the tunnel.

[@kfstreich4787]

I'm curious what area this is, I think I have a fair idea and it's somewhat local to me but I can't say for certain until I find it.

[@MountainWestProductions]

The river and trestle over the river before the bend should be a proper indication. Great northern railroad #7. “It’s not far away from” should be proper indication if you have the area in mind correct. River will be to your right side while following the rail bed! Let me know if you find it, amazing site..Thank you for dropping in hope todays a good one for you👍👍👋

[@scottd7926]

I did a reverse google image of the tunnel entrance. Wickes, MT appears to be the closest town.

Isn't it amazing that no matter where you go, no matter how hard it is to get there, somebody will manage to bring in some spray paint to mark their "so called" territory.
