I'm originally from Davenport. The QC has great potential but never lives up to it
@@tonymorrell2353 I was wondering about that. It does have great potential.
Ah yes time to learn more about a city I have never heard of.
The house you see at minutes 30:40 of this video is an ABB we stayed at this summer. Right across from the Temple. Wonderful place to stay.
@@scottfoss716 great to hear 👍
This is the first of your videos that i have seen and i must say that i was pleasantly surprised by the research and time that you invested as well as the logical and interesting presentation style. Upon reviewing the other videos on your channel i noted that many are about trains, a topic of great interest to me; needless to say, i have subscribed to your channel and look forward to watching many more of your videos. Thanks and wishing you many happy travels !!
@@pedamucic Thanks for the kind words. I do try to do extra research before and after I film because I’m interested and I believe the potential audience out there deserves more. And I try to incorporate trains and transit wherever I film. There won’t be trains in every video but there will be definitely in the next 2 or 3 …. Thanks for watching and subscribing.
Wow !! My grandparents lived there for years. My Mom grew up there, graduated from School of the Holy Child. My parents were married there and I was born there. Many years since my grandparents passed away. Nice to see the town. More of Mom's family lived in Mahwah. My Dad's family was from Ramsey.

The train station that in the middle of a neighborhood is just like the 4 cylinder American made car there telling you to go to work I've played with posts and comments about money making deals on the train stations and got an answer They make more money with freight than moving workers our vacationers
I've grew up in Paterson and think about it as a bum when Paterson train station is a transportation to a vacation spot those that take the train to Hoboken and know what the Secaucus train station is like then they know what a good train station and a bad one looks like because it happens 2 times Paterson and Hoboken Secaucus is a bum
I’m literally less than two miles away from here 0:00 right now! That’s wild.
I’ve wanted to visit Quincy for a loooong time. Glad I finally made it.
Glad you visited. The old downtown is mostly moved out East of town now, but there are some trendy restaurants and bars in the area, and the town square is well-used for concerts and art shows. The historic distict you showed is larger than you think drive around a bit. You should see the new "suburbs." A lovely town to raise a family in and education and community is still strong and vibrant.

Do trains actually still run on these tracks?
12:32 The building at your 11 o'clock was oart of the old train station. There was a turntable to your 10 o'clock the old train tracks ran from your 9 oclock to your three oclock.
If your looking for touristy, go to Milford,PA., that's the next town.
Yeah, I don't know if I'm looking for touristy but I have thought about going back to Milford to film. Was there once during pre-youtube days.
Shopping in Matamoras (actually Westfall Township) is within walking in distance from where you were. In actuality, Port Jervis has few places to shop. Food stores (Price Chopper and Shop-Rite, good-sized strip mall, Lowe’s, Home Depot, WalMart, all in Westfall Township, just beyond the I-84 ramps.
That's what I was wondering. Thanks for the info.
North dakota is cheap
The wall you were describing? You were going the wrong way,this dude is wasting fuel driving around for a town that doesn't exist lol,ask around for manunka chunk tunnels,it's on route 46 on the border of white twp and knowlton twp
I climbed The Vessel back in 2019, before the suicides, and it was a fantastic experience. Very organic in feeling, and lots of views from all sides.
It looks as though there would have been a second track nearer to the canopy in Middletown.
@@jaygatz4335 could very well have been - that’s one thing I’ve noticed examining various old train stations is that there used to be more tracks back in the day
The monument may not be finished for another 10 years +
Not bad at all.
Light rails needs to elevated or underground, not on streets.
We love spending time in Springdale Utah. 0:52
It looked nice to me!
Is trenton a safe city?
That’s a good question. It’s not the safest but it isn’t all bad. Some close nearby towns were really nice. You have to be constantly aware of your surroundings but that is becoming the case in more and more places across the country. I’ve only been there during the day and some of the worst parts I’ve only seen on TH-cam.
@@BillKing3456 Thanks..I'm planing to visit my Mom in Cherry Hill NJ from Boston. And that the nearest Amtrak Station. I usually used my car or a rental. But want to try the train. Something different.
@@dan1769 You might want to take Amtrak to Philly and then out to Cherry Hill from there. There are 2 separate Cherry Hill stations on two separate lines - PATCO and NJ Transit’s Atlantic City Line. The NJ Transit station though, while modern, is in a weird location = behind a shopping center. You can also get to the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line by walking over (close walk, at street level) from the Trenton Amtrak/NJ Transit station to the NJ Transit River Line (kind of a diesel-powered inter-urban light rail train that runs south, through nice towns, from Trenton down to Camden) where you would transfer to the Atlantic City Line at Pennsauken and go one stop east to Cherry Hill. Check times on NJ Transit’s website (or PATCO’s).
@@BillKing3456 Very Greatful for the Information..thanks a lot. That makes more sense.
No, you gotta be aware of your surroundings at all time. I was at the Trenton Train Station and went to check the train schedule board and this guy came out of nowhere behind me cause there was an ATM there. I didn't even see the ATM, I was checking the train board. Then he disappeared as quickly as he appeared.
It's The Velvet Underground. Lou Reed was a member of the group. They were not his group.
We loved the film and series called Fargo 😊
Ha now I have to watch it!
Live walking distance from the old O&W station. This particular line used to go through Sussex County , NJ and into Scranton, PA. The building was sold to a real estate developer in the late aught’s I think, he promised a lovely renewal at a town meeting (never delivered obviously). Then he kept not paying the taxes and finally the developer torched the place for insurance purposes. The last I heard he went to jail for nonpayment of taxes, who knows if he actually served any time. The second station was decommissioned in 1983, my husband rode that line on its last trip. It was turned into the library and it’s an absolutely lovely library. I’m glad you enjoyed my town 🙂
New York, Ontario, & Western. The Erie Railroad had a station, too, but moved commuter trains to its freight line which bypassed downtown.
Not a good idea to trespass on railroad property.
Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing. sub & 👍27
Thanks very much!
I worked at Ingersoll-Rand in Phillipsburg in the 1980's; I think there were approx. 1000 employees. Ingersoll Rand started there around 1903, and peak employment at the IR Phillipsburg site was around 5000 in the mid 20th century. This may help explain the presence of the train station. Based on my reading, the old IR site has been redeveloped, primarily into warehousing.
Thanks for this. I figured there had to have been something significant at this site.
Does this station have a screen showing the status of arriving and departing trains? I’ll be departing from here this July.
Thanks for the tour Bill ❤

The Joseph Smith Memorial Building is an office building for the Mormon church. It was originally built in 1911 as the Hotel Utah. My recollection is that it closed in the 1980s. One interesting thing you might have been interested in, between Helper and Provo, just before you descend into the valley where Provo is, used to be the town of Thistle. Thistle was largely a railroad town, it had the "helper" engines to help with going towards Helper. In 1983 there was a major landslide, which blocked a creek and -- with the melting snow from the mountains, quickly formed a lake that engulfed the town of Thistle and the railroad lines. You can still see some of the foundations of the building and the tracks were rerouted around the lake, with a new tunnel built.
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing this info.

Does marriman station go to penn station, can you pay at the kiosk? Also, we are riding in a 15 passenger van, would it it fit in the train station park? Is there a station in Chester that can take me to NYC? Thank you so much
