Great video We have a couple of old railroad bridges here in Little Rock North Little Rock over the Arkansas River The Junction Bridge and the Rock Island Bridge pedestrian.
There are many mainline railroad bridges built over 100 years ago that are still being used today. Railroads had the money and they built bridges, stations and buildings to last many years. Keep in mind that back then, the railroads were the only way to ship long distances, move large loads and transport perishable goods. The railroads transported many different items like livestock, grains, wood, coal and much more. There were no roads. Even the U.S. mail moved via the railroad. And people would order various items from a catalog & the railroad delivered. Imagine ordering from a Sears & Roebuck Catalog, then being at the railroad station for the arrival of your items.
@@jacobpoucher - Railroads are still (largely) maintained at the company’s expense, while taxpayers subsidize road transport. Large big-rigs are EXTREMELY damaging to our infrastructure, and taxpayers are stuck having to fix it.
@@jacobpoucher Interstates only have to carry 80,000 pounds, most railroads are ten time that weight limit, thus the railroad bridge will last longer. You have to build a stronger bridge to handle the heavier weight. Stronger bridge last longer.
Those marker signs on bridge columns could signify a bore hole. Or it's a marker spot for where they check the turbidity of water. Technical name is a Secchi disk.
Our gov has to ruin everything. I am really irritated by the way they have no care in the world about our history, they destroy our structures block off old tunnels refuse to fix up mountain roads and bridges and just block us from using them when they are owned by us, just like Alaska removing that old transit city bus instead of building a foot bridge so people wouldn't get killed trying to reach it. Absolutely Ridiculous!
This made my day to see a bridge revitalize for something! Thanks for putting the older clips back in. I forget how beautiful this area is especially in the spring and summer months I look forward to seeing it in the fall.
Pretty area !! Love that old steel covered train bridge !! So glad to see they are saving this !! So much history across that bridge !! Yessss I remember the rail car video !! Such a pretty area there !! I think its wonderful that it being saved !! Great video !!
Wow ...what a difference in the old bridge . Hate to see the old pump house gone but at least it lives on in your videos . Loved the colors of the green and blue sky ..beautiful . Another fun adventure . Thank you for sharing : }
Thank you so much for sharing this. Glad you got documentation of the pump house before it was gone. Yes love to see restorations to the old. Part of history added to making new history. The beautiful sky & colors in this video were amazing!! Gosh I missed the live breakfast for dinner & Friday premiere this week. Need to start living life right again! Thankful for replay to not miss a single second. 🤗 Aww QT, the mystery continues. 🥰
They did similar to the old Chicago & Western Indiana lift bridge on the far south side of Chicago about 11 12 years ago to allow access to the Torrance Ave Ford plant for employees while the Torrance Ave lift bridge was closed for total rebuild. Had to install temporary motors to raise and lower the bridge as it had been locked in the raised position and the mechanicals scrapped. Unfortunately the jogging of Torrance Ave to the old rail bed meant the signals and junction boxes and other rail related remnants deemed not worth the effort to scrap were removed. Also my guess is the pump house was probably cleared either because it was in the way of the expansion or possibly if the rail trail is planned removed to not have a hazard to hikers wanting to explore a crumbling building. State of Illinois converted the old Chicago Great Western rail bed to the Winston Tunnel to a hiking trail and the demolition of the old fan house used to vent locomotive smoke from the steam era that had fallen into a similar state and the state demolished it as a liability hazard for hikers going up to the tunnel.
Cool video! I hope they do make a rail-trail out of it. It's always good to see abandoned railroads turned into trails instead of letting them go to oblivion either through nature taking over, or redevelopment of the land. You should have grabbed a brick from the old pumphouse as a memento (paperweight). They will probably just end up in a landfill.
Awesome update on the bridge, sad about the pump house as I remember you tearing your sweatshirt. I am glad you preserved it with the video you did. Thank-you for taking me along. I think that the construction has disturbed the snakes and whatever may have had homes there :-( .
❤ I love your videos. I live in WNY an didn't realize all there was to explore here. The only train tressel I ever crossed was going thru Letchworth State Park. It's an active railway so, I had to cross when it wasn't having an active train going thru. Great work, I love your videos!
It's good that they are reusing the bridge. I would like to see it used as a scenic railroad or trolley line but I doubt that will happen. At the very least, it should be an atv trail. Not another bike trail. There's to many bike trails and not enough atv trails.
It’s a shame the pump house gone I liked those videos. I’m really love the fact the bridge is being saved what a fantastic idea. Thanks for taking me along I loved it. Stay safe
Thanks for sharing I used to live in Scranton Wilkes-Barre Pa for 13 years For years that bridge was not use and noticed here recently the regularization of the bridge driving through in a big truck
Hi JP! I've been off for awhile, lots of catching up to do! I'm loving this video, so glad to see them fixing the bridge. Really cool. It's such a beautiful area. Thank you for sharing another historical site. Hope you, Jill, and Lili are well, the kitty's too! Hate snakes! Take care. 👍🏻❤️
I came up with the term rail-trail in 1991 to mean a bicycle path that precisely follows the well maintained freight rail alignment when working as volunteer with the Coalition for the Capital Crescent Trail in Bethesda MD for the Georgetown Branch. Our chair was Keen-Lee Ryan who's regular job was as communications director for the Rails-to-trails Conservancy. The Rails-to-trails conservancy used the term rail-trail and pushed it out all over the world. Surprisingly the Rails-to-trails Conservancy has no such concept for out of service freight railroad corridors to restore their rail alignments for bicycle paths. I had to come up with a catchy term for such a use, a rail-trail. I did it to save the Georgetown Branch rail alignment for use of the Capital Crescent Trail. The northern part of the Georgetown Branch freight alignment has been torn up for construction of light rail Purple Line with new high gradients for both rail and bicycle way. It will no longer be a rail-trail. If you want to preserve the rail alignment as a true rail-trail you should make some effort to make that known such as at a local town council meeting where they have citizen comments. There is likely some administrative division owning the rail corridor now it would be worth while to send a short letter comment to. Your comment doesn't have to be much more than that "I'd like to see the old railway alignment restored as a rail-trail for railroad history and bicycle use. It would be desirable to at least keep the trail at track level. Sending a written letter I've seen appear in filing cabinets in government projects that people do pick up and read when the projects they are reviewing the project. There are a lot of projects that people work on that don't appear to have anybody that really wants them and when they are positive about them it is unclear what that comes from. A rail-trail is a very clear indication of what is desired. Word to the wise most town administration staff and almost all regular parks departments administrative staff are anti-bicycle. They will ban normal bicycle uses on bicycle facilities that were or should have been designed to provide well for them. This means they dislike rail-trials because they attract cyclist and will go to extremes to not use and even destroy the rail alignment where the effort should be to restore the rail alignment with long term goal to recapture the rail alignment where it has been lost to other development. Making the point to preserve railroad history as a rail-trail is likely safe.
I frequently travel this route (380) and have been watching the progress (and yours and Cliff's video). I can't wait to ride this area when they convert it to a rail trail. Thanks for another great video!
I just remembered to subscribe to your channel after watching several videos. I think these abandoned locations have to be my favorite so far: a little history along with an occasional creepy vibe. Great work.
A good idea to make it to a walking rail trail as it was just decomposing and someone was bound to get hurt there eventually. I think it is great to repurpose these things and even better you have it all documented. The snake was probably afraid of you too. Do you have a snake bite kit in your first aid kit u need for these trips? Do u have a first aid kit in your truck?
@@JPVideos81 Amazon sells all kinds and sizes of first aid kit and snake bite kit. I hope u do get one. Not only for you and your comrads exploring but for going out with family too. One never knows.

If you ever make it up to elmira, ny let me know and i can show you where they made a rail trail on the old lackawanna rr right of way. It also crosses a bridge that was used by lackawanna rr with piece of rail nearby too
Follow up video coming on that concrete structure and/or cave mentioned around 21:05 near Roaring Brook? Kinda shocked there wasn't a clip of you exploring it in this one.
I agree with you JP that a rail trail is a good use for this bridge. I don't like to see the demise of eral roads. I think it's the greatest transportation system ever in the US. I know things have to change. I'm glad you were able to cross it. I have the same problem with heights, maybe even more so. I even have to close my eyes a little bit when you do a video going over heights. It looks better now all cleaned up.
JP, those black and white marking plates on the pillars of the bridge are survey marking the civil engineers use for shooting different elevations or a indicator as how much material must me moved or added in this phase of the project.
Maybe by the time the train trestle is finished and a bike trail runs right on it you might see a train coming through right below you is that railroad line below the train trestle still being used

Wow that’s crazy! What a process to go through the whole thing to take something with so much history demo it and then put something new 😭😭 I can’t stand heights at all I’m really curious to know what it will look like also can’t believe they took down the building
Hi Jay, was the old pump-house building the one that ripped your hoodie that time ???. I think it's a great idea it's going to be utilised but I do think it's a real shame that they couldn't save even a small part of the old pump-house. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to any updates there may be. x
What I really wish is the bridge get converted back for rail use. With shortages we’re told that we don’t have enough truck drivers and trucks to deliver goods. Yet we have underutilized rail lines and rail right of way that could be used to transport goods. There just seems to be too many trucks on the road already with frequent and length traffic jams.
I think it's great that they renewing the rail bridge. Sad about the building but it was in pretty bad shape. It probably would have fallen on it's own with the vibration of all the equipment. We have lots of trail paths around here, if I knew how I'd send you pictures
It's good they are redoing the rail bridge and that's progress for you ! keep up the good work JP.
Its great to see that structure being used for something else and not just torn down .
Great video We have a couple of old railroad bridges here in Little Rock North Little Rock over the Arkansas River The Junction Bridge and the Rock Island Bridge pedestrian.
I know it was done last year, but thanks again for this update.
No problem. I may get down there in the fall time for another update.
The structural integrity of the steel railroad bridge has outlasted the concrete interstate viaduct.

This ain't nothing. You gotta see the video of me called facing my fears on the abandoned trestle. Talk about scary... lol
JPVideos ok I will check it out brother man!! And again always good to see ya!! 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Jay, was the old pump-house building the one that ripped your hoodie that time ???. I think it's a great idea it's going to be utilised but I do think it's a real shame that they couldn't save even a small part of the old pump-house. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to any updates there may be. x
Same one. Vivid memories with that structure lol.
@@JPVideos81 Lol. x
Is this in New Jersey
What I really wish is the bridge get converted back for rail use. With shortages we’re told that we don’t have enough truck drivers and trucks to deliver goods. Yet we have underutilized rail lines and rail right of way that could be used to transport goods. There just seems to be too many trucks on the road already with frequent and length traffic jams.
I actually found a section of the right of way over by the landfill next to route 6
Going to be part of the north pocono trail system
whose rr trscks underneath the bridge?
Delaware Lackawanna runs on them and sometimes Steamtown for excursions.
@@JPVideos81 what rr actually
used the old bridge? and where is this place? thanks ;-)
@@melperry3576 erie railroad, then erie lackawanna and finally conrail. Its just outside of dunmore Pennsylvania.
Good things
I think it's great that they renewing the rail bridge. Sad about the building but it was in pretty bad shape. It probably would have fallen on it's own with the vibration of all the equipment. We have lots of trail paths around here, if I knew how I'd send you pictures
Yes
How was going across it this time? I’m glad they decided to fix it up. It looks like it’s going to be nice.
Like walking across any modern bridge. No issues when you cant see through to the bottom.
