    Thank you Jeff and Sarah from all of us with the Friends of Sutro Tunnel. This video and the others like it that you do help to bring attention to these historic locations and in turn help to bring supporters, volunteers and donors. None of our restoration efforts would be possible without help. Hopefully we can have you out again in the near future to go into the tunnel, once its made safe.

      Hi, I stopped the vid and looked at that Edison battery electric. That was built in Cleveland, Ohio. I am from Cleveland. This is an incredible historic loco, it was built at or before the formation of GE, General Electric, which came about through the conglomeration of several electric companies including Brush Electric in Cleveland with Edison Electric. This might be one of the most historic electric locomotives in the united States. Also, the other electric I wonder if it was made by the Jeffries Company from Columbus, Ohio. They made a lot of specialized mining equipment, especially electric locos designed for mines.

    I have been waiting for this video and you knocked it out of the park! This is one of the best documentaries on the Sutro Tunnel I’ve seen. I’m glad you were able to see the inside of some of the outbuildings as well. When I visited the in March, many of them were not able to be viewed because much cleanup was needed. The volunteers have done such a great job helping to restore the site. These last couple years, many of the historic buildings in Reno have been demolished in the name of “progress.” It feels like much of our state’s history is being erased before our eyes in a race to become the next Silicon Valley. With that said, I am so thankful there’s such a dedicated group of people including Chris and Asa working to preserve sites like this. It’s a shame the hippie commune didn’t take better care of the mill. But thankfully most of the buildings are still standing.

    The ore carts and rails are still there! I hope nobody gets injured rebuilding the tunnel! Thats really is scary to go inside! Speaking on President Grant I was speaking with (debating) a Southern sympathizer on his IQ being the lowest of all the presidents of 130. I said he was smart enough to become a general and win the civil war then became President of the United States 🇺🇸.
    Again thank you for this amazing video!!!

    • @jbenziggy
      @jbenziggy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      You are very correct, Dan, in that Ulysses S Grant was quite a genius when it came to fighting wars. As you know generals sometimes don’t make great presidents but I think he did a decent job. I think everyone wants to focus on his drinking habits but I think when you face the hell of war anybody would be drinking.

Hopefully he'll pick up a love of history like his parents.

I never thought we had much money, since Dad was a school teacher in that small town. So, owning what I thought was a very special washing machine awed me!)---It is interesting where they acquired their ice from. My paternal Grandparents had an ice house, cut blocks from a local slough (I'm pretty sure!), stuffed straw around them below ground. ---Wish we could have gotten a look at that unusual frog!

    I would have never imagined that Sutro also lived in Nevada. I can see his fascination for hot springs and baths. Nice to learn more history.

    Again thanks for the history tour glad you're walking around in all that heat and not me. Your guide there has a tall mountain to climb in terms of what they want to accomplish but our next generation may not have the same interests as we do sadly.

    Looks like a great site to look around,I really got a kick out of seeing that washer you referred to as grandma's,If you look at it it has a handle on the left upper side,That locks the roller,I had the unfortunate experience back in the 1960's as a kid getting my arm stuck in in one of those,They do not pop open automatically,The old man had to yank the power and use a hammer to hit that handle to release me,There is no auto release on those,The gear drive shows no mercy and is quite powerful,It bruised me up pretty good.
    Great video folks.

    Twenty six min in, time for a 2nd break - really interesting - you also saved me $65. for the tour, the time it would take to get there, etc. I only miss
    the fact that I was not actually at a historic spot in person.. To be continued, this is a great Sunday.
