- There's two objects in the woods that I found on Google Maps. They are located off an old railroad bed and I want to find out if they're still there and hopefully figure out why they're there.

More random items found in the woods thanks to Google Maps.
Do you think the second item held water?
I bet you could find some old silver and possibly gold coins around there🤔
I wonder what historical aerial photos of the area show
It can be old war bunkers how do we no
The old way that comestible/used water Aqueduct reservoir system was at community's service.🤝😌 "Progress!", they said!🤖
But wasn't it there yet in Ancient Rome?? Yeah! This way of an operating current water system is still crossing huge through all the Europes!!? And still have huge citerns under some huge towns, that aren't Catacombs..and is now domestically compatible with electricity and nobody dies!
There's only 3 or 4 differences i could easily identify and also splits the old way from the modern way to be build the best fonctional aqueduct system, thinked, planned n materialized to this day..
🎶I'm done!💥😌
P.S: I'm still fascinated by what you're presenting on your vids, the whole thing!! So calming! Some Healthy, Zen, Feng Shui Yoga sceance for the mind.
😮👌🏼
My guess is the upper structure was a reservoir and the lower possibly a valve house to provide water for the rail line. The PRR seemed to favor round stone pools and round valve houses but usually a similar relationship to each other and the line they served
Jay, I would agree with the upper foundation being a water collection basin for filling locomotives. If you look at the 1939 photo, there is a round object off of the north corner of the lower foundation. Possibly a water tower that was filled from the basin? Another great find!!!
Yes, that is most likely what it was.
@@JPVideos81 The second building could have been for water treatment before the water was sent down to a what looks an old water tank for the railroad on the old photo.
Agreed - I truly believe that it was a filling station for the steam engine locomotives. The lower building may have been a coal reservoir, or more likely, a residence/wayhouse for the train crews.
Yes a catchment system
@@zaklex3165 Yes...I made note of the white round structure 😉‼️
That hunk of steel looks like a heat exchanger for an old furnace.
That what I thought too...
Picture and audio are excellent Jay
I do miss walking through a path in the woods looks so nice 👌 ❤❤..
Always relaxing, peaceful and sometimes interesting.
My guess would be a large farmhouse with a basement/cellar and a large barn with sub-level. A lot of barns were built like that decades ago. Good find.
This could be a fort during the Revolutionary or Civil War. Also, this could be a forgotten township. Check with the elderly Seniors living in the area. You may get lucky and find out about the history of the area.
Amazing video and audio. I was just wondering what camera you were using when you asked that. lol
It's the DJI pocket 3
You ever look at Boise, Idaho on G. maps and pan out about 10,000 ft up? I see how they have shaped their potatoe farms.
Cool video, thanx for sharing, sweet gear boss, looks and sounds great. I really dig all the 'B' roll edited in, gives the video more depth. @7:25 I thought I saw tall, dark movement in the trees, up the hill to the far left, anyone? Can't be too tough of a climb if you can climb up, set the camera, walk back down, walk up again with dialog, then walk back down to get your camera and then walk back up again...hahahaha. Maybe you could bring a metal detector up there and check it out.
All that b-roll is lots of extra effort, but it helps tell the story of the journey.
Pretty cool Google maps finds and adventure great video thanks jay
Thanks Gary
Cool. For the first structure/foundation... if there were brick or mortar walls, do you think there would be some evidence of that? You know, old pieces of brick, etc
Hi Jay, great videos. I go on similar adventures in Australia. Have you contacted the local council about what it was used for?
I haven't. I don't typically dive that deep into it.
Would be interesting to find out :)
Step Brothers. After they turn their beds onto bunk beds!
Nailed it!
Looks like a great place to do some metal detection
Maybe the first "walls" were actually used as the platform for the floor of the building?
Just an idea
They could have been water traps for the older steel engines? You said there was water percolating up in some places
You keep saying "pool", pools are for swimming, I seriously doubt it was a "pool". If it is not a foundation for a building, then I agree with others that it would be a "reservoir" or "cistern" for replenishing steam trains.
I wonder if it was a retention pond for a gravity fed mill below the hill?
Why does it look like there is someone standing up on the hill behind the rock that has JAKE on it? Looks like someone in a trench coat with a hat 🎩 on?
I see it, at 13:43 and then again at 14:03
Very cool example of pareidolia.
Or a ghost. Pareidolia... pffft
I zoomed in on it and it's the base of the tree. You can see the bark.
@@november151956 OR it is the ghost of a tree.
The Library of Congress site has a map named Carbondale, Pennsylvania, 1890, which shows the hillside here. It's hand drawn, so not exactly perfect, but there are a few small factories and structures around where these foundations would be.
That rusty metal piece reminds me of the heat exchanger you see in old gas floor furnaces. You know, what is just below the grate set at floor level.
Was going to say that. LOL
The building has been built maybe late 18th, early 19th centry and worked till early 50's. Maybe a water tower or some property. Also, the older American buildings of 18-19th centuries had rocky bottom and upper wooden part.
Actually, this design was same to other countries' of the same century. My country is post Soviet and even before Soviets, it was post Russian Tsardom country. And in late 18th century some buildings around the rural areas, especially around the woods and forests, were having this type of structure. Especially old water towers.
I bet, this building is old enough as outlaws era - late 18th century.
Water sources were critical for the railroad for the steam engines
Some of the locomotives were designed to draw water out of creeks and storage reservoirs
I remember seeing tanks along side the mountains where the tracks were up in rural VT, NH, NY and Canada
They had natural little creeks and they built storage tanks of wood that the creek filled and overflowed out of
Would be interesting to take a metal detector to this place. I bet you will find stuff like vintage cutlery, toothpaste tubes, padlocks, etc...
Yes and probably underground pipes.
Great finds and I especially liked the exercise class in the pool lol. Your camera looked great but all your videos look great. Have a great weekend JP, see you next week. 🤗
Obviously a house and barn. No way that is a water collection. That area is well known for homes and barn construction to have foundations like that. It more than likely had nothing to do with the railroad
I think the smaller object was the water tank. It was an old wooden water tank, and you are seeing the roof in the old photos. The larger upper structure was probably a reservoir that filled the tank below. Then maybe somewhere down the hill by the tracks, there would be just a stand alone water column that was fed from the tank on the hill.
Or its possible the reservoir fed straight to a water column, and the smaller building was a coaling station, with a roof to keep the coal dry.
Which in your old photo, I didn't see a lot of signs of how coal would have been brought in and moved for a coaling station, so sort of doubtful it was that. They did make square water tanks, even though they are a bit rare to find.
I'd love to visit this site. I followed the D&H Trail on Google Maps, but I couldn't find a match to the aerial map you shared. I was thinking it was some sort of battlement, the foundations of old lumber mills or just the ruins of some houses. If they were water basins, I'd think there were streams or old creek beds running toward them.
"...chocolate pellets. Remember, kids, if you find those, don't eat them. They're not Milk Duds."😆😂🤣Loved this adventure! You found both targets! And some interesting things along the way, too! Lots of pretty Nature's carpet, a spring, a creek bed with lovely sounds of flowing water...very Zen place. Your camera that follows you and your wireless microphone both work exceptionally well. I bet this area is gorgeous in the spring and fall. Thanks for bringing us along!💙
🤣💙
I think the larger was a water reservoir and the smaller was a control building to the steam locomotives? A swimming pool way up there? Nah. Thanks for your videos.
Your channel showed up in my recommended list, and I'm so glad it did! This was an awesome adventure. My son and I go on a lot of road trips, and we usually take the long way through towns instead of the Interstate because we love to find places randomly. It always drives me crazy when we pass by a place that looks very old and has long been abandoned, and I can't figure out what it could've been, so I can imagine that not knowing what these two objects once were probably drove you nuts, too 😂
Really great channel, though. I will check out more of your videos.
I have a strong sense of curiosity and love finding random places, especially ones that haven't been used for decades. As much as I want to know what it is, I'm often left with more questions than answers. Thanks for watching.
I think that the reservoir and filling station sitting on natural gradient makes the most sence
Hey Jay! Very interesting finds!!! I enjoy watching videos like this!!! You never know what will be found in the woods!!! I sure miss my days of walking around in the woods and discovering the things left behind!!!
Thank you Jay for doing and sharing the exploring that I can't do anymore 💙💙💙
God bless you and your family, keep y'all healthy and safe 🙏❤️🙏
Much love to y'all ❤️
Really relaxing and peaceful journey through the woods. The little spring well was an awesome find and it had some beautiful nature's carpet on it too. The little manmade creek bed and waterfall was also very cool, always love the sound of the water. It was great that you found the structures you were looking for and yes, I am thinking the second structure was used for water too, like a reserve or reservoir or like you said, a pool especially seeing the pipe. It would have been a huge pool for sure and looking at the map, it sure looked like a pool. Love the workout activity! 😂I can't think of what the movie was, but I feel like I should know what it is. lol Awesome google maps finds and what a great video JP, thank you! 💙
Haha that's ok. It's a comedy movie starring Will Ferrell. Thanks for coming along for the adventure.
Awesome Google Maps adventure JP! Seeing the old airel photos and the Google maps photos in comparison is awesome! Reminds me of the old water reservoirs that are in my area!Thanks for bringing us along for another great adventure!👍
It was my pleasure. I enjoy doing these adventures.
In the days of the steam locomotives, this area was certainly still pure wilderness. Therefore, it is quite possible that the point at which these ruins are located was formerly used to refill water at the steam locomotives. There were also systems in which the steam locomotives were equipped with a bucket system, which allowed them to draw water through water troughs between the rails. Such a system was formerly used by the New York Central Railroad.
Central California watching
Woohoo so ready for this !!!!!
I'm gonna offer some advice for future videos, find a better way to transition because black screens suck, and cut the videos down to around 15-20 mins. Also stop filming all the trash you find.
These vids are about making vids, not the subject matter presented🧐🤫😁💯
Im wondering, is there a lot of tornadic activity in the areas you explore? That may account for some of the random objects (or collapsed structures) you come across in your explorations?
Tornadoes are not very common around here.
Check around the tracks to see if there is any remnants of a water station.
both for water one is for sediment to settle in the other is to draw from
Excellent video JP, the picture quality is excellent too. I think it could have been used to store water, interesting find JP. 👍👍👍👍
Wow that foundation isn’t going anywhere unless humans remove it
Glad you were able to find the structures .....so very interesting ( and mysterious ) .. The picture and audio quality of your camera was great and love how it followed you as you moved about ...great feature . Thank you for taking us along on another google map search . 👍💙
Wish I was able to find out the purpose of the structures, but I'm happy I found them and that little spring well.
There's more of these in the patch of woods between Rogers Street and Wayne Street. Again they are right next to the D&H Right of Way. But these are not on any elevation. Also if you ever want to find out which historic picture tile he is showing you. Just search the number on the top upper right of the photo on the PASDA website. Most railroad historic organizations have line Maps that show where every interlock, tower, flagstop, culvert, water refill, ect. Is located. Also cross refrence where the C.C.C. camps were located. Kinda looks like a foundation for a mess hall/bunk house for a camp. But then a lot of C.C.C. camps utilized canvas tents with only 1-2 small stone foundation structures.
Ice pond and the smaller ice house. Gravity fail carried ice blocks to city!
I was born and raised in Marshall Shadland area by the basketball courts on Marshall Ave.
I now live in Butler Pa,
5 minutes from the farm show where that tragic rally was. Smh.
There are a few videos of yours I’ve been watching and can’t figure out where you are lol.
Nice walk in the woods and great find, very interesting. Your camera is working beautifully! 👍🥰❤️
😂I don't get any bonus points! I have no idea what movie that was from!😂 A water collection makes sense. New camera is awesome!! Very interesting video!!
Step Brothers.
I imagine they were basins and probably quite a bit deeper when they were in use, I imagine there was quite a lot of build up of dirt over the decades. Some of the trees look pretty old already.
I'm guessing these structures could be water collection. Possibly for use with the steam locomotives of the day? Who knows. There should be a location of foundations for a water tower near there too, if that were the case. Great find.
I love the Google maps videos!. I love just searching on Google maps for weird objects or something. It's so fun
Another source of information is US Geological Survey maps. Some of those go back to the 1800s.
Also, for some places - especially with houses and businesses - there are insurance companies "fire" maps.
you said the d&h railway, and then the gravity line, which ran from Honesdale Pa to Carbondale PA. then moved down to Olyphant and on to Scranton, but they used D7H special Loree's to run along those areas The Gravity Line ran though between Carbondale and Honesdale through a series of planes. I know because I live very close to what was the Heavy Track of the D&H
The D&H built ponds and catchments there to supply water to steam engines, not to power locomotives but to power the stationary hoists that pulled the cars of the gravity railroad up the mountain.
I haven't been able to find an old map showing them but probably the larger structure is the pool and the smaller foundation enclosed the steam hoist equipment.
The D&H modified the route of the gravity lined a number of times and when they abandoned it in favor of steam locos, the new tracks obviously couldn't follow the steep grades of the old tracks. That explains to me why those old structures aren't near the rail bed you hiked on. Also, the location of the site was so close to the D&H shops that locos wouldn't need to stop there for water when the line ended a mile west.
In your previous video in the same area, the residential road you were on that took you to the brook was pretty much Plane No. 4 of the Gravity Railroad. After crossing the brook, the tracks went up the steep hill to the coal breaker. There is a fire house at one edge of the large cleared area along the highway where the breaker once stood.
(New subscriber to your channel. Thanks!)
Your videos never disappoint J. Always something to discover. You liv in a really cool area with a lot to see and discover. Thanks for sharing it with us! This a very Intriguing. I hope we explore it further.😊
Also. Steam locos needed a water source low in minerals for the boiler. Otherwise scale was built too quickly.
Hi Jay
I’m thinking that the rusty iron next to the pool was a type of furnace or boiler. Both use those type of fins and have a common thru piping system.
Catch tanks for a steam powered locomotive. If you look straight down below it, at the tracks, you'll probably find the footings for the filling apparatus tower or tank.
Everything is clear and sound is excellent
large enough to be a dairy barn or a school building or a church. my first thought was reservoir.
disused pumping stations for water ? or electricity substations (disused) ?
The audio and video are excellent.
As a young boy in California I have fond memories of riding horses out to different ranches that had water collection basins (rectangular cement ponds) the farmers would use to water their mainly tree crops. Such fun just innocently skinny dipping with my friends in these water basins. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories. 👍
The new camera is amazing I love your videos they inspire me to explore more
So much trash that people have just dumped out there :(
Green spray paint, usually means there is drainage or sewage near by.
Agree. Could be a water source for train for steam The lower one could have been part of station or town. So water cistern for both
I'd say something with the railroad and Stepbrothers was the refrance
Step Brothers!
Lower structure I would just about bet and agree with another comment on here it was either a valve house or combination valve house and rail house for workers, and top was probably a basin for water to feed both the rail road and house
They are water reservoirs for the old steam trains that came through
While it could be a water reservoir, I'm wondering about a barracks. Mite there have been an army base here?
Native American, Olympic training facility lol
😁
Interesting video!! Great to see someone making use of the gimble tracking!!!!
They're gravity fed water tanks for the steam engines of the day...
That’s longer than 80 feet it’s at least 100 maybe 150 feet long
If your going to continue these endeavors, why not step it up by going to the county records and telling up what it it that you found
12:53 at this point I become curious about where the traffic that keeps the road easily passable, goes to
Good one JP, a mystery. Thank you for the experience. I enjoyed it. ❤
Nice video
You should go back and bring a metal detector and see what you can find in the ground.
i think it is a army fort look at the advantage they would have on other side could see them coming 5 miles away
They looked like trees from the map. Also, are you tresspassing?
Who is the spooky looking person standing above the rock containing "Jason t"
Metal object at 29:30, is possibly a heat exchanger?
You should have a metal detector with you and check in all them grounds
There is a feature like these in the woods near my home, and it wasn’t very far from where an old rr line ran thru, I’ve seen it with my own eyes, walls exactly like these and it did/does hold water from a natural spring.
40.05528° N, 77.52764° W is the exact coordinates if you’d like to compare what it looks like to what is in this video.
Reminds me of walking into the forest creeks with my friends when I was in my rural middle and high school, was always fun.
You never know what you might find
I really like your Google Maps discovery videos.
After a stressful day those videos are really perfect to disconnect and wind down a bit.
Thanks and keep up the great work. Greetings from my home in Spain. 😊
Thanks for watching and enjoying
DALE! NO POWER TOOLS! Oh it’s my tooth brush
i hope jake not buried and u trampling over his grave yikes
Makes me wonder if your right about that large object? Water retention for either consumption or Steam Engines??
That seems like the most logical guess.
Definitely a water reservoir for the Steam locomotives
That metal object is a heat exchanger from old heater or furnace.
I really like your videos,they are very interesting. Id like to go hiking and exploring but my hips won't let me,so I guess I'll have to live vicariously through you doing it,thank you
Thanks
What area of the country are you in? Delaware? New York? (Guessing based on the Delaware & Hudson comment)
Pennsylvania
Most of the trees in the area are very young. Less than 5 years old.
Do you ever metal detecting findings like this one. What you have found looks like a foundation for a large home or an inn. Are there any forgotten roads that leads to this place. What state are you in?
This is in Pennsylvania
I can almost guarantee it's a barn foundation.
"Jake", has to be...a Bigfoot Family gravesite, who buried their grandfather, in that specific area. Who knew they could even read and write?
