The stuff you saw strung from tree to tree was plastic pipe for draining the sap from sugar maple trees to create maple syrup. Hence the sign for the sugar shack, a common reference to the processing building where the sap is boiled down to create the syrup consistency and sterilization.
I have a trolley trail around me. And back in the day, the trolley needed Transformers to maintain the electricity along the trail because AC current was in its infancy. That's what the brick buildings are for along the way that you find, they were transformer stations.
Another great vid. I always enjoy your videos (well, almost all. lol). I've been checking out all your vids for almost 2 years now. I like all the different subject matter you provide and I really appreciate your friendly and informative style. Thanks for sharing.
I love these trail exploration videos. Peaceful to watch and love seeing the historic remains. Great way to incorporate your bike trial. Thanks for the video.
I love the cattle crossings under the bridge. I appreciate you showing the information placards for us to read. How bazar to have the trail end so abruptly like that! The wooded settings of the trail are very relaxing and make me happy, especially with the ferns alongside the trail. Thanks for the e-bike review! This one looks like what I’m looking for. 😊
There is a another section of trail that goes for a little ways beyond the part that’s not complete. A land owner doesn’t want the trial behind there backyard so the trial stops there unfortunately.
@@jeffbachak3653 I wonder if he actually owns the land where the trail is, or if just took upon himself to block it off just because he felt entitled. He could have blocked it off above the trail. It really wouldn't be difficult to just walk around the stuff and continue.
Thanks for the video. It brought back a memory from my childhood. My mother lived in Easton but went to school in Allentown and took the trolley on weekends. She used to show me several places where the line used to go. I thought it was fascinating.
Thank you for bringing some history back to life. We have a old abandoned /rail trail in my hometown community. It's a 5 mile round trip bike path now. When I saw that cattle crossing it looks identical to the one on the trail I ride. Except on the exit end it crosses through the creek and into a lower field area. It was even constructed identically. Now I know why it was between 5 or 6 feet walk through. Thanks again, I will hav to dig a little deeper into it to see if it was constructed for that purpose. Great job with the video🚋🚂
Thanks for this video about a rather obscure trolley line in northeast PA. The only thing I knew about it was that my nephew went to Keystone College and he told me there used to be a trolley line behind the college. It was great you showed where the line ran and especially showing the historical placards that gave some great information about the history of the line. That structure you were wondering about may have been an electrical substation for the line. That would explain why it was so secure . They would not want any unauthorized person going into a high voltage area and getting hurt. It could be that small since it was only a one track trolley line with minimal traffic over it. Keep finding these interesting things you have shared with us.
A really beautiful trail ...relaxing , refreshing .scenery I love history ..great seeing the old photos etc. Fun seeing the deer and the cattle underpasses were really interesting . The Rebel is a sweet ebike ...love the vintage style.. Thanks for another fun adventure !💙👍
I like the whole trail. Really beautiful and peaceful. The old building and the cattle underpasses were really cool. Enjoyed seeing the deer too. I love the bike. It's the right size for me (I'm short) and I love that color. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Also thanks for taking pics of the info boards so we could pause and read them.
Awesome trolley trail adventure JP! Love the old photos and history! I wish more cool things like that still existed today! Thanks for bringing us along for the adventure!👍
Excellent video JP, I'm thinking, that gate and no trespassing sign. The trolley line extends beyond that gate. And the cattle crossing is very interesting, I love the beautiful trail, very nice place to bike ride. Do you know if that trolley line extended beyond that gate?
After you passed the football fields all those lines you saw going between all the trees with the little tubes coming off up to the trees, those are sap lines. Those are maple trees, someone Taps all those in the spring for sap to make syrup
What a beautiful trail and some great history too. It was a really nice adventure! The little abandoned structure is really cool, it looks like it wouldn't be hard to restore if someone wanted to do that. That is an awesome bike, I really like the look of it, especially the color and how it looks vintage. Fun to see the deer on the trail and the boardwalk is amazing. The cattle crossing underpasses were very fascinating and awesome to learn about. It was wonderful to see all the information boards and I loved all the beautiful landscape and scenery. Gorgeous photos! Great video JP, thank you! 💙
I liked the nice shady areas and the boardwalk was a nice way to end or begin that section of trail. I really love the color of the Rebel. Glad I choose that one.
Good morning JP, this Ebike has to be one my favorites I've seen from you.. it seems like you get alot for you're money to. What a beautiful place pity it had to end on a no trespassing sign aye. Have an amazing rest of your week mate.
Enjoyed this video a lot! If you ever get to northern New Jersey, there's a great rail trail called the Henry Hudson trail. It parallels the coast and connects Freehold with Sandy Hook. Had a great time on that trail years ago!
Wonderful! This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen on of the trolley trail that runs right through my town of Dalton. I did a couple videos on this, but I will redo them now that the correct information is out there. Thanks for taking a look at the historic trolley line that ran through my town, and I enjoyed the video as always.
This was very interesting since I didn't know trolley's were in my hometown Binghamton NY at one time.Never knew that.Good to hear interesting, positive things about my hometown. Thanks JP
Hey JP have you done any videos about the train station in Binghamton on either Eldredge St or Henry St under the viaduct? I think it's called Lackawanna Train station,I could be wrong though. I've never been in there always wondered what it looked like inside
Another great explore video JP! I really enjoy these exploring videos especially when I can follow your path on Google Earth. The history you find, plus what you add to the video after researching the subject is wicked interesting! Your explorations look so fun! Thanks for the great video!
Very nice trail out there !! I love history.....shame it just came to a end like it did someone must have bought some of what was the railway. Very good video as always !! And I loved the pictures at the end !! 👍👍
I enjoyed both parts of the trail. The first part was really cool with the structure and woods. The cattle crossing in the second part was great because you could access it and see how the cows would cross under. Is this a fairly new trail? I was wondering if the abrupt ending was because they opened it up but intend to do more work if people are using the parts they opened. Thanks for taking us along.
Interesting for me, was at 14:44, there was an old photo of State street, (Route 6) where the trolley originally ran in the day. The hardware store on the right in the photo was started by my great grandfather, Judson W. Bunnell. The store was ran by my grandfather, father and lastly my older brother. It lasted for 100 years, but sadly, eventually closed. That on the left would be where the catholic church now stands. Further right, out of view would be where Depot St. joined State Street.
Jay, if the small brick building was used to supply electricity for the trolleys. Then a transformer was not in the building. An AC to DC converter was used. Trolleys typically used DC power. They were called rotary converters. The mechanical way to convert A/C to D/C before modern silicon rectifiers. Here is a link to explain what they are: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_converter I am a trolley buff and commend you for doing an excellent job (per your usual). Enjoyed the video very much.
Loved the entire video, however my favorite part was the boardwalk through the wetlands. There is nothing more peaceful and serene than being out in the woods and the deer were absolutely beautiful. Just a shame that the trail had to end so quickly. That looked like a pretty nice bike, however, I'm more of a fan of the off road mountain bikes. Looking forward to some more amazing explorations. Until next time, take care, stay safe and God bless. Steve in Oklahoma
When I first found you, you were reviewing chicken nuggets at McDonald's. You've come a long way. Now you can afford to buy six thousand dollars in bicycles every year 😂😂
Very interesting! I love the toad less traveled vids. Speaking of tolleys though, a few hours before I started watching this I was on The "NRHS film archive channel" and found a vid/film of the Laurel Line ca 1950, silent in color. I urge anyone with an interest to check it out. Title Sell: The Laurel Line.
Am shocked they don't refurbish any of the old trolley lines from the late 1800s n early 1900s fix up the trolleys and have scenic trolley rides down the original lines like they do with the scenic train rides n they tell passengers about the history how n why they made trolley lines that would be cool if they did n with the trolley cars they have a backup gas motor in case the power goes out they can get the passengers back to the station safely if am correct if A heard correctly on one video A seen about the cut that goes through the water gap a trolley line went underneath the bridge that they're trying ta bring back passenger service if they brought back the trolley line under the bridge n have passenger train service on that bridge again that will be history in the making n time travel back ta that time and era
Hope you enjoyed spending your time with me. Looking forward to your thoughts on which area you preferred more.
The stuff you saw strung from tree to tree was plastic pipe for draining the sap from sugar maple trees to create maple syrup. Hence the sign for the sugar shack, a common reference to the processing building where the sap is boiled down to create the syrup consistency and sterilization.
Makes sense. Sometimes I miss the obvious.
I enjoyed the part on the bridge and seeing the stream. The whole video was great. Glad you shared it with us. 😂

Finally, after a 12 hour day of almond harvesting, I have time to watch a great video.
Thanks. Jay.
😊
You’re in the woods, I enjoyed everything.
That is maple sap tubing for making maple syrup. They collect the sap in the lines from taps in each tree which then flows into the collection tank

I was hoping to keep going, but that's how it goes sometimes.

@@Cj-bw3hn The section of trail that isn’t converted over to the trail surface is probably no more than a quarter mile at the most, give or take.
Thanks for the video. It brought back a memory from my childhood. My mother lived in Easton but went to school in Allentown and took the trolley on weekends. She used to show me several places where the line used to go. I thought it was fascinating.
Love it. So much to explore now that you find it for us, as a fellow NEPA resident.
Enjoy it!
Thank you, very nice adventure, have a great Saturday!

Yes, it kept going
Love the editing & production format on all your videos. Well done.
Thanks so much
Great job on TH-cam videos 👋😎
That bike is the coolest looking one I've ever seen. It's totally my color and has great features, too.
It's eye catching for sure
It's always awesome and beautiful anywhere you go, Jay. I enjoy it, and the best part is you're doing all the footwork or in this case bike work, lol.
🚵♀️😁
JP, go find/ride the Wilkes Barre and Eastern railroad right of way. Try to find the remains of the Panther Creek Viaduct.
After you passed the football fields all those lines you saw going between all the trees with the little tubes coming off up to the trees, those are sap lines. Those are maple trees, someone Taps all those in the spring for sap to make syrup
Jay,
The Wandering Woodsman did a hike up there, but this is more comprehensive!
Cheers,
Rik Spector
It's always good when different creators cover an area or location. Each person shows it differently through their eyes & camera.
More great adventures to follow along this line great video thanks Jay cool iron City beer shirt haven't had one in years
Had to represent the Steel city.

For sure my friend, lots of bonus items and a joy to ride. Even though it ended unexpectedly, it was still an enjoyable time. Thanks for watching!

I'll consider it if I'm out that way.
Those trees are probably tapped for the sap to make syrup. I'm not sure why they would be tapped this time of year though

Those rope things is tree tap syrup lines. The sugar shack makes syrup. The trail does continue though.😊
Ahh ok. Thanks for the clarification.

Very nice trail out there !! I love history.....shame it just came to a end like it did someone must have bought some of what was the railway. Very good video as always !! And I loved the pictures at the end !! 👍👍
Thanks
makes me wonder where the trail would end up if it weren't blocked /no trespassing sign
Hi jp that was a cool find and I like the bike ❤
💙
That other trail off to the right might have taken you up
to the area that was blocked on the main one.
Nice fern forest
At @9:28 my guess is at one time that was a well house for a water pump.
I enjoyed both parts of the trail. The first part was really cool with the structure and woods. The cattle crossing in the second part was great because you could access it and see how the cows would cross under. Is this a fairly new trail? I was wondering if the abrupt ending was because they opened it up but intend to do more work if people are using the parts they opened. Thanks for taking us along.
It's only been around for 3 or 4 years I believe. Some commented that the line ends due to a private owner not wanting anyone on his property.
Do the Back Mountain Trail
Interesting for me, was at 14:44, there was an old photo of State street, (Route 6) where the trolley originally ran in the day.

Interesting
Add Dancing Cat in the Hat bicycle that came from the story Cat in the Hat if you look in the book you'll see a picture that bike in there LOL
Cowasaki bypass!
It is unfortunate the trail ended early..... bummer !
Agreed
the "roped off area" was not rope those are maple sap collection lines. love your videos
I think that stretch of the trail is part of someone's property. Just like the old bypass that led to Old Greenville under 380.
Probably right

The good part is you won't get huracan debbie like we did here in Florida 😊
Going down this trail on a bike that runs on electricity, same as the trolly that ran on this trail, almost 100 years ago.

20x3

I thought the cow crossing tunnel was neat. The whole video was great and the scenery was too. Where is the info on the bike?
It's the first link in the description.
Can you move the display to the left or right?So it will come down more?
I will give that a try and reply to this comment with my results.
Yes, the display can be moved from the center and you can tilt it down further.
Correct me if am wrong the wider the tire on the bike the better it is ta travel on soft and lose soil and gravel?
Correct
Where’s the saddle bags ?
At home
