The Iron Goat Trail (Wellington Avalanche Site)

[@dmacken11]

OK, Here you are yet another guy inspiring me to get myself back in shape so I can get back out on the trail again too. I have missed hiking for a couple of years now. This video is an inspiration because of the sites and sounds one will find out hiking backpacking and camping in the wilderness. Thanks

[@timbateman7202]

Another interesting and well filmed hike. I'm sure we all realize, but not all appreciate, that every time you leave your camera to do the walk away shots, you're going back to collect it, so you're covering the same ground 3 times just to show us the views, Many thanks for that.

Les Straud Survivorman uses same technique

[@erm4292]

thank you for taking us on a tour of history how rail lines used to operate/ Your editing is superb showing an overview and then a detailed view.

[@ck158]

Reminds me of the days of old an bold!! About fifty some years ago I had a search and rescue group. We trained and hiked all over the Pacific Northwest. Thanks 😊

[@deathfromabove2250]

being from the PWN and being far from home, I love watching these videos.

[@JDK45ACP]

Had to revisit this one. Gives me inspiration to do some exploring. Thanks for this one too, Brother.

[@iankelly5145]

hello from the UK, what a lovely part of the world you get to walk in, thanks for the upload.

[@deathfromabove2250]

I have been all over the world, and I would have to say WA state in the USA is some of the most beautiful landscape I've ever seen. If you ever get a chance you should visit. Just stay out of Seattle. Bunch of crazies there.

[@peacekeeper5937]

Cpl, Another amazing video! This was truly AWESOME to see. Thanks for sharing.

[@recall5811]

Peacekeeper Thank you for the comments and views

[@jamesseger6265]

I personally enjoy all your videos! The survival tricks, and the hikes are outstanding, and Chester approved haha keep up the great work!

[@larrysmith3181]

Fabulous video. This one will go on the bucket list.

[@thx5001]

This is amazing to see nature reclaim the land. I would love to see what a video of your walk through the tunnel.

[@tk00903]

When I was a very young boy in the Casper Wy area I lived next to the railroad tracks. I would watch the trains go by and look at the emblems on the cars. My favorite? Rocky mtn goat...Great Northern! I like the BNSF railroad and the fact that the GN is a part of them makes me glad. Sort of nostalgic, but good memories.

[@Nic-ii7qg]

Just awesome, what a site to see, thank you for sharing this with us 🙏

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Looks like a great hike and some amazing history!!! Looks like you are still up in Washington...

[@recall5811]

Central Oregon Survival Network Will be here for awhile.

[@CentralOregonSurvival]

Cool brother, look forward to more video's

[@travissmith6253]

Excellent video! Nicely done sir 👍

[@cindyneely6087]

on a scale from 1. 10 this man gets another TEN. super

[@flynthouston]

Corporal, you should do more videos like this. One's where you are outdoors enjoying yourself.

[@danielbowman4819]

Beautiful country, thanks for another great video.

[@lolzkai]

love these type of vids man, great work as always

[@te8tim0ny_6]

Thanks for this video. Are there porta potties on this trail? And were there mosquitoes? Gonna be there next month, trying to get intel ahead of time...

[@anthonyyurt7260]

That's a pretty neat trail. Love the railroad history. I've always wondered what happened to all that abandoned line.

[@normanmallory2055]

This hike you are on is one i have wanted to do and hope this summer i can pull it off .. Great film of your hike , i love history like this .. Where did you started in on your hike ? Very well done .. There were several books written about this disaster and i have one written by a local writer .. Someone had told me that going in from Stevens Pass was the way he went in and it was a great hike as i have not looked at a map i do not know where the little town of Wellington was located ..

[@norabrooks5163]

How spooky was it being there all alone? Did you get any weird feelings?

[@marybaker8582]

Is that the old railroad tunnel? Perfect music for the subject too. If only it could tell the stories! Excellent video as always.

[@traindude70]

If you walk down the mountain from the snow shed the remnants of the train cars from the 1910 avalanche are still there.

[@chriscobb8947]

I found this on the shuffle while watching Playlist. Good stuff, I find this stuff interesting

[@nancypasiecznik4657]

Eerie! How did you find this place? I never heard of this avalanche before, but then, I wouldn't; I was never in that part of the country. Thank you for filming your hike for us. Did you do the hike all in one day? Can't tell how long or how far you hiked. I love trains. I wish the U.S. would designate funds to criss-cross the country with trains like Europe and the U.K. have.

[@bigred35089]

Awe what was the tunnel like ?

[@darylgud7601]

I loved the video. Not a lot of Bush craft, but an awesome adventure.

[@recall5811]

Daryl Gud Glad you enjoyed it.........Its good to change things up. Bush craft, survival, prepping, etc are Skills that make the adventure worth taking. Thanks for watching

[@christopherbeckerdite4273]

Awesome video Brother

[@SoftieDog]

I just went here today. The hike killed me, but that view is great

[@jamesmangan6882]

Great video.

[@jamesreed6558]

Awesome video

[@almostserious75]

Great video, thank you Sir! Salute and Subbed...

[@dahartman88]

Some cool locations, a nice contrast between the man made and nature. Curious about that tunnel.

[@recall5811]

Derek Everyguy Lol, More to come on Tunnels, Thanks for watching

[@modemode3663]

Cool stuff in my own state I did not know about. My brother took me to an old stone house that I'd drove by a million times never knew it was there. Thanks for intel corporal

[@joshmeister4449]

Hard to believe that less than 100 years ago this was a very active east/west rail line. But when the (New) Cascade Tunnel was opened in the late 20's (Still used by BNSF) it made for a much easier and straighter grade into seattle, which pretty much rendered the line you explored useless.

[@FarEastSurvival]

Thanks. That was really interesting. Imagine 100 years ago the most valuable companies listed in the New York Stock Exchange were rail road companies. Virtually all of them are gone now with most of them going bankrupt. It shows that nothing stays the same and even embodiments of once one of the most successful companies can lie in ruin. We need to stay humble and stay rooted to our values.

[@recall5811]

Far East Survival Nice Point of View on the subject. Thanks for the comment

[@joshmeister4449]

Far East, the railroad that built this line (Great Northern) Is part of what is now BNSF Railway...

[@-user_error-558]

I am so disappointed no footage from inside the tunnel come on...

[@danielmoose1273]

It's collapsed.

[@jamesozment1]

outstanding!

[@annawaush]

did you have any creepy feelings? this place is well known to be haunted

[@recall5811]

+arnold blair Don't Believe in that BS Brotha, thanks for watching

[@robertpresha9504]

My brother i went threw hell.on that trail.but when the spirits started talking real loud.i did say this is bull shit.i was alone never agin.the trail is so cool.never go alone.

[@robertpresha9504]

I love the corporals video.but if he is alone i can not believe he could not hear or see spirits.some people are not sensitive to the spirit world.i was alone.i seen two ghost in the first 20 minutes as clear as day.that place is way out there when it comes to dead people walking and talking very loud.i am glad when i returnd home i came across nwpia ghost Hunters.reading there resurch stoped me from loosing it after what i went threw.i am so glad so many other people have been threw the same thing.there are many people that have left that trail running.i did not run because they would have known i was afraid and threw my ass off of that mountain.but the hike is beautiful.do not go alone.and your dog will leave you.

[@annawaush]

@@robertpresha9504 the place is surly haunted want to talk about it?

[@riley2201]

Love it I was just there today

[@danielmoose1273]

Extra-Nice Video(!!!) 🙂. The only thing missing from underneath that snow shed was a whispery, irritated voice going "Giiiitt Ouuuutt" ☹️ / 🙂. I always tell myself that I don't believe in ghosts, holy or otherwise, but Alot of people died the hard way on that very spot. There's NO WAY I'd walk through there alone ... I MIGHT would if I was Armed To The Teeth, ... and my dog was with me, 🙂.

[@1337Mo]

Surprised to see ribs on early rebar, not common so early over here in Europe. Even by ww2 the germans used smooth rods, could be due to other issues tho...

[@redtears1015]

Majority of the video is too quiet

[@buckwildd3902]

I have the same exact estwing axe that you are carrying on your pack

[@robertpresha9504]

That is about the same time I hiked up on the IRON GOAT TRAIL. But having the gift to see into the spirit world I will never take my a.s into that snow shelter again. But it is real good seeing the corporal because he is dressed just like I was.But I was just a little more over kill with weapons hanging off me because of bear and I was alone for the first time up there.Never again lol.The corporal is a better man than me and I miss his videos. He go's to some cool places.

[@chadhenry5128]

In my backyard 😁👍

[@kennethread5637]

Do you ever walk off and forget camera. A mile or two down trail remember it.

[@chrismoore600]

Interesting

[@jeffpetrie7744]

You told us about a rock pocket but did not tell the story of the most deadly avalanche in US history. Too bad.
