Unclogging Railway Culvert And Other Culvert Investigating With Trains

- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

Ya know, my great Grandma lived in a small town with one set of silos and tracks. Every time we heard that Train whistle we'd drop whatever we were doing and run to the corner of her property and count the cars in the train going by. What sweet times we had there!
So it wasn't just my two sisters and me doing this! HA! Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
@@dickmcshan9778 I still do this from time to time, and I was last a kid about 3 and a half decades ago.
My earliest memories of my Grandma were hearing the train twice every night. My Aunt lived a block off the RR track and we used to run to put Penny’s on the track. We also used to dare each other to cross the old high train bridge over the Colorado river just outside of Columbus Texas. I never did it but my sister did with our uncle. The train came and they had to jump down on the supports as the train went overhead. My mom wanted to kill my uncle. 😂
That was me at my grandmother’s house as well. She had at least 3 acres in her backyard and BNSF tracks right behind it. We would run from the backyard to the front yard just to watch the train go by.
@dickmcshan9778 it's a universal thing. G'day from d'under
Post 10 is like the Johnny Appleseed of Culverts. Travelling across the United States unclogging culverts wherever he goes.
Right on!
I been thinking the same thing... 👍
No matter where he goes Post always runs into beavers clogging the culverts. He's a good man. Traveling the country taking out these beaver clogs one culvert at a time! 😂
Some men lay pipe. This man unclogs them. A true hero
11:26 Other youtubers have a PO-Box, but if you want to send something to Post 10, you just put it in a culvert. He'll find it eventually.
xD
lol we should!
@@danielson101 Only problem is, we never know what State he'll be in!
This dude is amazing devoting all of his time to this
I bet you are happy that the beavers back in New England don't have access to that prairie grass that you had to fight with! It looks like you had a great adventure!
Oh, man, I would have snagged that glass insulator in one hot second! I love that color! 😍
I’m so glad you switched to a potato rake, the longer tines penetrate much deeper for a better grip into the material
I'm waiting for the Post 10 American Culverts of 2023 18-month calendar. You go to some beautiful places. Having a culvert as the central theme might have more buyers than you think.
Maybe rakes in various poses?
Both excellent comments! I would definitely buy a calendar.
That's for taking us on these amazing adventures with you. I love to see your part of the world 🌎 ❤️
One bloody legend complimenting another. Both awesome mates.
Your videos are entrancing and way better than any Hollywood movie. I would honestly watch two hours of this easily. Love your channel.
Better than any Hollywood movie 👍🏽👍🏽
Those fences are probably built/owned by the state or the railroad (probably, but not always). In the west the law is usually "open range" - that is, you have to fence livestock OUT not IN on your property. So, fences along highways are usually built by the state to keep cattle off the highway. If there are issues with water being available on one side of the road but not the other, the state may elect to drill a well on the dry side so that the rancher's cattle aren't cut off from water when they fence the road.
The glacial flour contributes to the green color of the water. As for the sulfur smell, that is the Yellowstone River comprised of fresh water and water from the paint pots and hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. I would imagine the rattlesnakes and bull snakes have denned up together for the incoming winter. When I saw the sign for Rapelje, I was really surprised you did not step into a snake den or see the shed skins. Excellent videos - a tasteful representation of Montana and Wyoming.
I agree, that blue-green water color is the result of glacial melt.
I love your documentaries for us. We never know where we are going with you but ALWAYS a great time. This is my chance to see a part of the USA I will never get to see. Thank you once again ❤
Hi, I am Terrie from Texas, mr grandparents lived in Helena, MT, my aunt & uncle Wyoming….. love your channel….hardest working person I’ve seen in a while. You are an amazing young man. Keep up the good work!!!!
I never knew there were so many different types of culverts. Thanks for the education. Beautiful country!
Welcome to Montana! It’s awesome to have you here. Enjoy your stay. Be safe😊
awesome, another great video! i love trains. i was a rural letter carrier for the post office and was out one winter delivering in a snow emergency. no one had been on the roads for a couple days, i came to the train crossing on my route, a train was approaching. the roads were closed so i was the only person around. snow was piled up by a bulldozer topped with a couple feet of fresh snow right on the tracks, it was about 8 feet high. i love watching the engines pass normally but this time was extra exciting, the train was cruising at around 45-50 mph and when it hit that snow pile, it was an enormous white explosion, it was nothing to the train to plow right through it but it was so so cool to see!!
America the beautiful. Superb video as always!
This reminds me of the trains behind my house when I was just a young girl. They used to haul items back and forth. I lived in Southern Illinois.
Ya know.... with 15 Post 10's, I could rule the world. He's genuine, a hard worker, and loves the surroundings/animals. Great dude here!
Amazing episode! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Hig hugs from Brazil.
I just love to watch you so much every time I come back home I'm eating my supper and I'm just sitting watching with you.
I am so glad you got to enjoy some of WA while you were out here. 💙 I live on the coast here and I love it. It's way different from the East Coast! I am loving all the videos. Thanks for sharing them! :-)
What a great presentation of natural waterways and how they have been manipulated to conform to our needs. That can be good or bad for our fragile environment. I really enjoy your tenacity.
Beautiful shot of the train!
Wow. That opening shot felt like the beginning of a movie. That was something special.
Or as we like to say....
Awesome as usual.
Montana is on my bucket list. Thanks for the video!
Here in Texas, the toll road that's near me hits an 85 mph speed limit. That makes it the highest speed limit in the nation!
That first shot of my train was beautiful! Really peaceful
I love your footage from far-away locations.
4,000 ft. elevation isn't all that high, FWIW. The lack of water is the main reason trees are sparse.
Those blue glass insulators were also used for phone lines and are still in use in some rural areas.
"The next gush of water" may not happen until next year.
Landowner permission must be obtained before dealign with beaver dams in Montana, some areas may require permits. Assuming you checked into all of that.
Watching from the UK it's amazing to me just how long the train is. I was lucky enough to visit the USA in the early 2000s and saw a train there and it seemed to go on for miles. This reminded me of that. Also your comment the roads were so winding ...... er that's quite a straight road for the UK. :)
You have so much enthusiasm and energy. Keep up the good work, make those beavers mad!😊
I wish I had a life like yours, its such an adventure!!!
Right?
For those who don't know blowing the horn is federal law. They don't just honk to say hi to you even though that would be nice. Blowing 2 long a short and a long means the intersection is clear of any oncoming vehicles.
Good to see you finally got the right kind of rake.
Great videos!! Keep up the great work!!
I love your childlike happiness over trains, bubbles, and water flow. Snakes, that is my biggest fear for you. Down south there is almost no time that is safe from snakes, maybe late Nov to early Feb...
I think my favorite part of watching every time is whenever you grab hold of a measly looking twig and pull out a whole ass tree!
Those locomotives are so powerful!
That was pretty kool showing us the train what pretty country
The most intersting thing I've ever seen done with railroads is in Chatsworth, IL. I found out about It incidentally as I was driving through, as the main route to get to where I wanted was under construction and very backed up. I had no idea that railroad diamond crossings even existed before, let alone ±20 feet from the main road through town. after looking through on satellite imaging, it makes sense how it works, but it is still very interesting. It's basically at a railroad hub, but it is kind of strange in how it works and can be best understood by looking at it, it's very difficult for me to explain.
Husband was a maintaianer for Conrail in eastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and western New York. I love trains!
Funny stuff when your video started I was commenting on the hilly back roads with construction every where and how it kind of looks like Montana. Then you said you were in Montana and I was like ah that would explain it. Cool seeing you on my in my state, have fun be safe.
I had the same reaction. 😁 Glad to see a handful of my fellow Montanans in the comments.
The beavers 🦫 never stand a chance 🤣
Beautiful scenery!
Snake: Western Terrestrial Garter snake. From the quick video, that is what I identify the snake as. Keep up the good work. Be safe.👍
I wanted to reach through the screen and snatch those bleached bones, some interesting looking rocks, and I even spotted a few good potential walking sticks! I love collecting stuff like that!
Nothing to fear. It is just an Eastern Garter snake. Nonpoinsonous. I'm with you... love trains. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
Just "wow!" Thanks for sharing!
I have two boxes of those insulators from my Dad’s work as a lineman for the Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Company.
Chasing the train was fun. Thanks. Now you've gone and opened another dam and throw off their Christmas Tumble Weed! The beavers will have to build and decorate again. LOL I found the variety of culverts interesting to say the least.
Very satisfying watching the debris start to move. Very hard work but so worth it
Gotta admit, that opening shot with the train was really cool.
Loved the train shot in the beginning! It’s very aesthetically pleasing.
that was a wonderful shot with the train at the start
excellent intro with the train and the driving
Fantastic Postie. Really like seeing the older culverts. So much nicer with the old stonework. Trains are so neat. Really appreciate the trip and you taking us with you.
Bnsf !!! Way to go !! I love the variety of things you post .the view of the natural scenery all that stuff
Great presentation, many thanks. I wondered if the concrete bridges are from FDR's New Deal project. Best Wishes Pete (Manchester UK).
WOW, what a cool opening of this video. I love trains and this was perfect! Greetings from Norway! 😉👍
Loved your work there thank you for taking us along. God bless you.
Thank you so much for what you do! My area doesn't see so much beavers, but we definitely see a lot of storm debris for sure. If I was 30 years younger I would so love to join you on the hunt, but alas time has definitely wore this old body down. At least I can live vicariously through you and some others like yourself. Good luck and stay safe out there wherever your travels take you good sir!
Thanks a Absolutely Brilliant Video From Your Friend Blue Who Lives In Birmingham England
The beavers did a great job on this one!
I'm waiting for the international culvert ep.
Love the scenery!
This video was awesome, I didn't want it to end. My end of the day relax time always includes you! Give us more! Lol🌹
WOW Thanks for the tours !!!
Your adventures out west are making me want to go west again, this time by motor vehicle.
Its pretty impressive the amount of power one of those engine have to pull all these cars.
momentum
Getting started is what amazes me
You ought to see the Norfolk Southern trains pulling the coal cars out of the mountains!!
Looked like there was an engine at the rear, pushing, as well.
Interesting to see how the Montana beavers built versus your normal area beavers. Great video!
I don't know what kind of snake it was, but growing up in South Florida in the Everglades we were raised that all snakes bite when threatened, and some can make you very sick and the bite is very painful. I have been to Montana and it is beautiful and still open and wild. Thanks again for sharing this adventure it is was interesting. Stay Safe.
You didn’t take that glass insulator? I would have. It’s just litter.
You got to watch out for the Montana Snipes
This comment just made my day!
love these road trips
That dam is seriously a work of art beavers will definitely get crafty never seen beavers use tumbleweed before. What clever little creatures they are
so beautiful, thank you
I hit a deer driving a Pontiac Sunbird back in 1988 while on the highway. My kids were in the back seat (they were 6 and 9) and it terrified them so bad. They slept in our bed with us for the next few nights because they were worried the deer's mama would come looking for us. They are now 44 and almost 41. Time flies.
Loved to see old culvert not in use as for the one by the tree is so bunged uo shame you couldn't get any foam out or anything else,,nice to see different things take the propane gas out please.
Take care in someof these places,
Super cool culverts, thanks for sharing 😊
I built "CULVERTS" for many years. We never referred to them as "culvert pipes"
Thanks for taking us on your travels
Good job dude. I came for the culvert clearing but I love the train chasing too. You should try to follow one for as long as possible.🍻🍻🍻
That was nice, thanks for sharing.
Nice job, OG.
Long train. Trains are marvelous to watch. Great show. 👍👍👍👍 You work very hard. Good on you.🎉🎊
Nice work!
Dang, this is a long video, but I appreciate it because I can have it on in the background!
Thanks Post 10. Are you camping out there. Have fun. Be safe. From New York
Wow,you went cross country,by a distance,stunning scenery as always.
This is just so mesmerizing. I can see why you enjoy doing this.
I found an insulator identical to that near a track in western NM. In that same state, the arroyo flood control authority, AMAFCA, constructs a huge tumbleweed snowman near I-40 every December.
It is _sluce_ gate not _slice_ gate. Also, that culvert at the end of the concrete irrigation ditch (acequia) is a syphon that feeds the U-shaped pipe that goes under the river. Some siphons create a huge up well at the other end making an awesome swimming hole as long as you do not wash downstream (I was a stupid kid and do _not_ recommend swimming in an acequia; *ditches are deadly! Stay away!* )
Are your travelling across USA? Your were in Maine before and thats is a very long way from Montana. I love your videos and your hade Only 230 000 subscibers when i began follow your advetures. Your keep on doing your thing. It's very relaxing seeing you breaking clogs. By the way... I'm from Sweden. 🙂
Calcium carbonates in the land change the pH and water into different colors. Algae turns water, especially slow
moving water, in very warm areas greenish blue. Never heard of sulfuric compounds changing water into anything
color wise but it would smell and taste terrible. Often the underground water supply may be contaminated by
certain sulfur compounds but not too common here.
Pattern on that snake reminds me of a common European adder (vipera berus). Very common here in Finland.
Though I doubt its the same snake.
Great video man. Hope life had been good for ya. Bet you slept good this night after all the work it took to unclog that beaver dam. That thing was serious. Some really awesome landscapes in this too. Thanks for doing this.
58:57 anyone else from the midwest/west ever play Hey Cow when cruising the cattle gound highways?
Trainspotting and culvert clearing in the same video - it doesn't get better than that!
Fantastic parallax shot of the train and you moving!
