Wow, this is incredible! Thanks EWU, you never let down. 💕 Fun fact, I grew up in Stead, Nevada. Right outside of Reno Nevada. Virginia City is absolutely amazing. It's a ghost town.

It seems like it was run like a “toll bridge” Funny how the press hasn’t changed all these years later. Thank you for sharing this interesting history 🇺🇸

Its great to see that the tunnel has not been forgotten. I was there in the 80's and we spent two days working our way along the rock falls. We estimated that we were less than a thousand feet from the other end. But it was a tough two days just getting enough room to squeeze through and only to find another collapse just ahead. It would be great to go back and walk through the portal this time. It was six hours of digging just to get inside. And what you saw in the video was the entirety of the tunnel. Not a spot where you didnt have debris under foot. Im definitely going to return and vist the tunnel. Thanks EWU crew!

Thankyou for this history lesson re The Sutro Tunnel in Dayton, NV. I see that the new building of the inside is really improved. But will require millions$ to complete & Mansion, etc.

I don't think that commenters here grapples at the sheer gravity that most of these mockumentaries content creators' efforts is put in to "pumping" out weekly content. Some like EWU here takes their time and don their scuba gear and do deep dives into their R&D. So that their content is as clear and concise, and informative in lue of heaven forbid exhibiting Miss Disinformation. Other mockumentaries content creators are rushing their information, most of the time having to reupload for corrections to certain information being inaccurate. Due to rushed VU shared content uploading of dead end daily to weekly content of potential fallacy. So bi to tri-monthly content uploads is a good thing for the EWU Crew for the sake of the deep dive, spot on accuracy of informational content that they eventually put out. So do you want pinpoint accuracy of context and content, or rushed Miss Disinformation of frequently pumped out wkly/daily, potentially inaccurate content?🧐

I can see the possibility of a wonderful TV series being made about 1850's-to-1870's Virginia City / Comstock Lode, Nevada Territory that could be as popular as the incredible DEADWOOD TV series about the 1874 Black Hills gold rush to Dakota Territory.

A story worth telling, and you covered it pretty well! Sutro a hero of mine. Just a tidbit: the experts said the air would flow down from his breach into the mines: Sutro (you mildly dissed his "engineering" credentials) predicted, no, when I break thru, the air will rush up! My dad taught California history, and I was raised with a sense of the Tunnel as "Sutro's Folly." The most terrible thing is, he brought back to San Francisco from Europe whole bookstores of ancient books and manuscripts, but he didn't want them stored at the coast risking damp. Burned in the fire of 1906.

He's also a hero of mine! We've got some great videos on our page about Sutro and the site, you might really like this video of inside the tunnel before we cleared the collapse kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYa0YZWkh9aDi7s

I went to see Sutro Tunnel about 20 years ago and there were all kinds of nasty signs about no visitors ever, etc. So I won't bother ever coming back. I live down the street too.
