I kept waiting for a ghost train to come rolling through like on Ghostbusters lol. I think those bats were cute little guys, just snoozing. Fantastic video Chris.
I always think of that scene when im in old tunnels haha
I love Bats. Beautiful Creatures 😍
@@lorimiller4301 you bet ♥️
@@lorimiller4301 isn't it sweet how he whispered so not to wake them....thats too sweet!
@@conservativehippie9736 it was precious. I wish more people cared.
"They were having trouble with cave ins" as he stand midway in the tunnel.. luckily he wasn't there on the wrong day...
That's exactly my thoughts! Read my comment above. ☝🙄👌
He needs a hard hat for sure, but he could still get crushed by some of the larger rocks.
@@anibalbabilonia1867there isn’t any comment
That was absolutely fascinating to see! The amount of cutting out the tunnels would have been a huge job back in those early days.
I agree. A huge amount of work for sure
Looking from the front, it almost looks like an ice cathedral, so pretty. Great job guys.
Wow those icicles are phenomenal!! Amazing stuff. Stay safe out there my friend.
I was just watching your goblin video in Utah after telling someone about you on my hike. Now I know what video I am sending!
Bats: Ughhh turn the light off dude! 😂🤣😂🤣
LOL. I was laughing when they said they were being quiet, so they wouldn't wake up the bats.
Good to see you guys found it. Your buddy was asking me about it. Loved it when we went through
Yeah it took us a while those were the wrong coordinates I had. We left and gave up and Chris happened to spot them on from the road.
@@journeywithjay yeah I remember when I was looking and found a few set of coords online. A few were like a mile off! Thankfully you spotted it. In the spring that would be invisible!
Man! You're risking your life to bring us great history videos like this! Be safe my friend 🙏 that looks dangerous!
As a fellow nightshifter, thanks for being nice to us bats we need our sleep! Always enjoy your adventures! From Elizabeth Illinois.
Cool video! I LOVE the bats! And the fact that you were so considerate of them! Awesome Chris. Keep the videos comin!
Thanks for 'taking us along' on your adventures!
Chris finds the coolest places
I was in that area for work for 2 years, I replaced the power line just south of those tunnels. I walked through the tunnels alone on a Saturday. Hopefully you got to see the Nicholson bridge. After the bridge was built these tunnels taken out of service and the right of way sold to the state and became US11.
TY love the info
Yes that bridge is definitely impressive
Well done gentleman, another piece of forgotten history from Pennsylvania. You fellas make a great team. Chris the historian & narrator and Jay the the discover. Keep up the great work always look forward to your next adventure. 👍
Im sure it sucked filming in these conditions. But it looks beautiful.
Just the trek thru all that snow!
Wow! This is less than an hour from where I grew up! Love the ice, so beautiful. I miss Pennsylvania winters...
What an awesome location. Amazing ice formations.
Do be safe in these places, ice can force rock, cement and brick apart and cause it to fall.
👍🖖
The rebar is what destroys concrete, it rusts and expands and opens up the concrete.
Cool tunnels. Magnificent ice formations, unless they fall on you! Cheers, Paul
It's really amazing to see the ties. Creosote dipping has kept them intact.
Always knowledgeable, always low key and venturesome, what a great life to see these places and bring them to others' attention.
I always let the ads play so he gets the spiff. He deserves support for these interesting videos.
Impressive, Chris! Thanks for taking us along on this exploration! :)
Another nice example of what you don't see on other channels. Great job Chris!
Hi Chris, those tunnels were awesome to see, all of the icicles in there are truly beautiful. The mound of ice underneath that ventilation shaft looked like someone had dumped a whole host of diamonds in there, very sparkly and pretty. A stunning adventure, thank you for sharing, much love. xx 🙏💖
It's so weird watching someone in awe of the year 1984 - as if it was _so long ago._ I remember that year like it was yesterday. Well maybe not yesterday. :) Wish I was in there exploring with you guys.
Don't you love when resellers call stuff from the 90's vintage?! Lol
I'm born and raised in Australia, I'll not have opportunity to visit your amazing country, so thanks for taking me along on your adventures.
We live a couple miles from these tunnels. I wondered how they looked after being out of service for over 100 years. These tunnels were no longer necessary due to the realignment for the Tunkhannock Viaduct. Thanks for a great video.
That's interesting.
It's said that the best undetectable murder weapon is an icicle.
Or a frozen roast. Brain the victim, put roast in oven, then invite the police for a beef dinner!
NO!! I have never done it.
Read it in a murder mystery.
Worked for me.
Kind of crazy but my father must have read that book. Remember him telling me & my brothers that.
That is cold be safe out there see you next time your buddy from Nebraska 👍👍
I love old railroad tunnels and bridges. Very impressive video. Thanks for sharing
Just an amazing place,and seeing the bats made it even more amazing.
Your videos are never dull. I'd say you are both very brave and a little foolish. Glad you made it out safely.
Cool location. You find some good places to roam.👍
Love the ice bits really beautiful thanks for the video guys owesome stuff
Leaving a like specifically because you were considerate of the bats
😁✌❤
U mean covid rats
@@warzoneclipz bats are an important part of our world. Despite the fact someone ate a bat and caused covid, all animals carry diseases anyways.
Zombie Z it was actually from a lab and it wasn’t cause someone ate a bat
@@yung_drakoo3605 I heard about that but I didn't know if it was official. Didn't want to get attacked for saying the lab thing. But thank you.
Very cool place, great details and great winter ambience.
That does not look like a safe place, appreciate you going in therr and making such a nice video, I love history and you are doing just wonderful!! 😊
Always nice to see an abandoned place that isn't tagged
Those icicles were amazing. Mother nature is one hell of a sculptress!

Wow, that was an amazing explore. I loved the ice, definitely best time to go there, thankfully the ice allowed you to walk in. Thanks for the adventure 😃👍
I'm in awww of this place but I'm very impressed that there isn't much graffiti. Great explore guys stay safe always
Debbie here.....WOW, THAT IS GORGEOUS! thanks for sharing
It amazes me the brick work is still up on the ceiling,,very cool
I miss living in pa, I worked for a company that restored historical buildings. One building I worked on was Ben Franklins house, I got to go where the public couldn’t and see and handle things they couldn’t. I live history
Gorgeous icicles! Thanks for the tour
At 3:50 my guess is that it might have been part of a rail, but that's just a guess. In this weather, I would say the bats are all in deep hibernation. I don't think keeping your voice low will be of any effect on their sleep. I saw a date of 1908 on one of the columns you were examining, so apparently they didn't really improve any safety concerns they had, so they closed them only 8 years after that. This was a very interesting exploration, thanks. God Bless and stay safe. Oh, and by the way, you may want to start wearing hard hats while exploring tunnels, caves or mines, you never know when a rock or an icicle will drop on your head.
Damn your channel grew since I last saw a video, keep up the great work!
@3:30 Most definitely was a brake shoe. The bump in the center on the top side is where it connected to the brake rigging on the truck set. They're just held in with a metal pin, so they can be changed easily out on the road. However, they've been known to just fall off from time to time.
Excellent video, Chris. You never disappoint. Thanks!
It’s truly beautiful but I must admit I get anxiety watching people go in places where rocks may fall without a hard hat (same with construction sites). The history of hard hats are actually an interesting topic on their own, the amount of construction workers who use to die before their invention is astounding. Definitely a worthy investment.
Also, nice to see you leave the bats undisturbed, I’ve seen other exploring channels be mean to rats and similar, these animals live there so it’s nice when TH-camrs respect that and leave them be 😊
Next time you visit an abandoned rail tunnel look for the date nails in the ties. They will help you with finding out how old things are.
My son collects those. When I first saw them all I could think of were religious relics 😂
Funny how you get a kick out of old graffiti but dislike or neglect to film any newer stuff.. I like both! I love history and the fact that man must leave his mark no matter what fashion.
Really nice tunnels! Good job Chris.
The ice formations are beautiful.
Looked like an ice cave
man im actually thinking of going there to see all these places
enjoy your channel very much
Beautiful find. I love your accent especially when you say "water."
Have you ever been to Dallas where the '63 Kennedy event took place?
While you're down there, maybe the tower at UT Austin where Charles Whitman was.
Thanks again for your very well made, informative videos! Love your work man!! Take 'er easy!!
thank you, you take me to places I can't go. I realy like what you do. Keep doing what you're doing.
Love the old tunnels went to a aboundon tunnels when I was young
Great video as always! I love watching your trips!
These exploration vids calm my nerves. I find them very peaceful and beautiful. Yours are some of my favorites. Steve ronin’s videos and very good too.
I absolutely LOVE old places like this
Enjoyable video with interesting commentary as usual. Keep them coming!
I walked through those in March 2021, pretty cool
Awesome video - thanks.
Subscribed. Love the content man!
Fantastic images in this video! Easily overlooked is the play or colors and patterns at 10:20 for example.
Did you take some high quality photos as well?
You should come to the upper Peninsula of Michigan, there are mines that you can take tours of and there is a mine called Delaware mine that is a self tour quite interesting.
5:53 that bright dot is the proverbial "light at the end of the tunnel"
You are definitely more brave than me! That cracking ice that you don't know really how deep it is was really creepy! 😳 I love bats. I love the movie Bats! 😁
Thans again for making my day.
It's been a while but it's been worth it
One of the absolute coolest things I've seen lately, just awesome! 😎 No pun intended lol 😆
Good suggestion nice video very enjoyable 🐻🤗👍
Fantastic video, tunnel was amazing 👍
Great video buddy! Keep up the good work!
I'm slowly making my way through your videos; I am a subscriber. I'm enjoying them immensely. I do not know if you have already visited Langtry, Texas; home of Judge Roy Bean. Robert Redford did a movie about the Judge. Great movie. The most ironic thing about it is that I pass by the museum a couple times a week but I cannot ever stop to check it out as I am a truck driver and there is nowhere for me to park. I was hoping that you could visit and video the place. I figured that you are the best candidate because I think you investigate these places well. I am sure these trips have to be planned out and it will take time just to get there, but maybe if you have a 'to do' list, you could add this to it. Thank you for everything.
wow amazing outside look nd much better inside too.great from u
Really enjoyed the video thanks guys 🇬🇧
Psst! I'm whispering, too....leave the bats sleep! They didn't use either one of these tunnels very long. I guess when I think about the men who perished to build this project...just not worth it, huh. Very interesting to see the construction and how the tunnel caved in. You were very courageous to go in a set of tunnels that were old and falling in on you and Jay. Thank you !
The plaque (?) probably said watchman. As for the name I couldn't make out more than Pe r(?) wonder if it's easier to see in the warmer months without the ice on it.
If you ever are in the Pittsburgh area I can direct you to a really cool abandoned train tunnel with the tracks intact
Do you know about the Green Man tunnel?
@@samanthab1923 Oh yeah. The story about it is more interesting than exploring the tunnel. It would make a great video on the history
Where is it? I’m from right outside of Pittsburg and my dads told me about a tunnel he would always do dirt biking In And around
Great find, guys! 👍👍
Epic brick melt!! 🙌❤️🙌
Magnificent🥶❄⛄🌨
Very Cool video . Like how you whisper for the bats .
JAW was someone's intitials. John Adair Wilkins per say. Its harder to track down illegal graffiti if a person uses their initials. Nice vid. I had fun
Very cool!
Thank You! 👍
Wow great video. Thanks for sharing your adventures. Love your channel.
Bats are aking to a submarine. They cannot see much or far and use sound waves to get around and hunt.
Akin* not being an asshole your phone prolly autocorrected it to aking hahaha. So true though and a really cool fact!
Pretty cool. Thanks...and we love to go to the abandoned original Transcontinental sites...thanks.
Rail had worth. If it was still serviceable, it would have been reused. Ties were an expendable product.
It's cool seeing this cause I didn't live to far from there
It would be cool to see where the ventilation shafts come out of the mountain and are they capped?
Yeah we thought about trying to get to the top but decided not to with all that ice everywhere
Super cool place. Thanks for sharing.
Very cool. Loved it
Buy a hard hat. It might not save you, but the rocks on the ground came from the ceiling.
I was cold just watching him without gloves but you're right about safety helmets.
Cool field trip great reveal, thank you.
