I very much like these videos and can't understand why big corporations can't make field offices out of some of those abandoned schools, especially the brick ones that only need some roof work or updating? It would be a lot cheaper than building a new industrial building from the ground up plus it would save a lot of old style architecture you don't see anymore like Deco or modern streamline. These areas would also become inhabited if people had to live nearby to go to work. Oh, I'm watching this from Amiens, France ...Bonjour et au revoir.
I live in Montana. Montana is just over 1000km wide. Your idea is great but nobody wants to drive 2 hours to get to work out in the middle of nowhere. We don't measure driving distance by miles here in Montana, we measure it in hours to get there. Then there's the minus 40 weather and 6 feet of snow in the winter, add in the occasional elk or Buffalo standing in the road. Even though our speed limit is 130km per hour on the main roads we just don't want to drive that far every day.
Hello Chris, as I've mentioned, I'm from little Wilbur Wa. Farming, Still holding up. When I hear your footsteps in the gravel, I am reminded of the years we walked the gravel lane, home from the bus or across the lot to our little park. The sound of your footsteps is precious to me. I'm reminded of when we could meander everywhere in relative safety. Also, the sound of walking in the grasses reminds me of everyday travel as a kid. The buildings you found, wow!! Even the ones in ruin are worth of my admiration for how long they sheltered someone with very little protection themselves. Love the way you clipped your film for our easy viewing. Much love to you❤, Patricia 1951
@@patriciapiper6294 growing up in rural Northern Minnesota and working putting up here for farmers in the summer season is some thing I cherish and will never forget. Plenty of small towns in the area at the time. They weren’t abandoned as yet, but they never were really thriving. Still, very special to, my memories.
@robfelt9283 being part of summer harvest. We'll, you can't beat it!! It's huge. You must be rough and ready to work with bruses sometimes but the farm work proves your worth every day!!👍🇺🇲
Really enjoy your ghost town video tours, Chris. 👍Thanks for venturing below the Canadian border and videoing ghost towns in the US. We have lots of them, and I'm confident they'd love to be featured on your channel. 👍
I am currently living in South Central Pennsylvania, but my family is from Scobey, Glasgow, Ft. Peck. I love your videos and enjoy seeing the landscape that my I love. I like sharing these with my husband so he can see where I am from. Thank you 🙂
I’m watching this from North Dakota. I was hoping to see Enid MT in your video but I know there are so many abandoned towns in MT. Really enjoyed this.
Hey Chris! I watch & enjoy your all videos from India. Its a real pleasure to watch 'your' & ' Steve 's 'Sidetrack Adventure' work. Thanks for your great work. Plz Keep it up & good luck for your future endeavours.❤
I watch Steve as well, he's an excellent host. May I suggest Travels With a Wiseguy. Coach John has similar content, mostly focused on Kansas and the Midwest
@@lifewithjosef Thanks Definitely. I also watch Wiseguy . ' Joe & Nic' also another excellent content maker of similar kind .They drive through whole US small towns .
I have lived in Texas for the past 30 years, but was born in Swift Current, Saskatchewan, and lived there until my late teens. I have traveled many of the areas that you have done your videos on, and I am in awe of the fortitude people had that established these communities. It would be nice to know some of the personal stories of people that lived there, or knew more of the community's history. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos, they are quite interesting.
Dear Chris, I follow your channel for a couple of years now and today i subscribed because you have a lot of amazing and intresting vid's in high quality. I live in the Netherlands and we don't have such town's here because our country is simply to small🙂 I keep wondering about the VS and Canada with all those ghost town's in remote and rural area's are left behind, you don't see that in our country so when i watch the counterpart its very amazing, each time i watched your vid's i watch again after because all of it and your comment, respect! With loves from Netherlands.
This was truly a wonderful video Chris! I myself would really enjoy exploring old abandoned places like this. Not much left to that gas station except memories now. You can barely make out the Chevron painted by its garage. I think they call them Standard now. Thanks Chris from Ed in Jasper Texas.
I'm always happy to see one of your videos posted, Chris! I enjoy every minute, and from my point of view, no need to worry about cutting down the length. By the way, I'm watching from Ohio in the U.S. I do so love your ghosttown videos!
Watched from North Carolina. Enjoy your videos Chris. Montana has some beautiful countryside. It’s a shame that some towns were dependent on a train line or a highway for survival. Keep up the good work!
My family is from Ingomar. It was known as the sheep shearing Capitol of the world. A million sheep a day would go through ingomar. Just outside of ingomar, was the highest point in elevation of the original continental railroad in Sumatra, which is home to 1 family. Just south of ingomar is known as the unofficial quietest place on earth and was posted about it in a book of a guy traveling the backroads of America. Was part of the ancient sea and you can find fossils all over the place. Must go check out if your in the area!

Love your videos Chris, I always wonder about the people that are still living in these places, it seems so surreal to me. Haven't you thought about maybe interview some of the residents, it would be so interesting to hear.
Just love the history of these one horse ghosts town's I'm in melvidale Michigan right out of Detroit Michigan never been to Montana born in lowndes county Alabama
This was another great video. Watching from Edmonton, Alberta. Love seeing the grain elevators, as I'm originally from a very large farm in Alberta. The old trucks were pretty cool too. I have some questions. Long ago, were there ever railroads that went from Montana, into Alberta and Saskatchewan, and vice versa? If a school was not nearby in Alberta and in Saskatchewan, would parents send their children to school in Montana, in the late 1800s, and in the early 1990s? Could you do a video on any ghost towns that may be in east central Alberta, in between Vegreville and Lloydminister? Cheers, Chris! ✌️
My parents owned the Carrol Trail Inn in Judith Gap Montana. Not far from Garniel, Buffalo, and Straw Montana. My father is burried in a ghost town Cemetery, in Montana.
Expatriate from the States watching from St-Basile Québec. I got into ghost towns from exploring a mining town, Gagnon, in northern Québec that the province literally erased in 1982. What is it that hooks us on these abandoned communities?
Why would you use Harlowtown as a reference anywhere in Montana? Lewistown is the geographical center, it is actually a nicer town in a better environment! Harlowtown is comparable to Harding as far shitholes go.
I like Harlowtown. When I lived in Sidney, MT as a kid, that town name came up a lot. I expected it was a huge important city. I finally visited it, I was happy!
8:00 ... It's not an engine but a tender for a steam locomotive. The tender was pulled directly behind the steamer and carried the fuel (either coal or fuel oil) and water needed for operation. Usually the capacities are stenciled on it somewhere. Viewing from Carrington ND. I enjoyed the tour.

Answer ,super highways bypass the local towns
That would be a good idea. But winters are especially cold. But Montana is soooo worth it!
I'm from Montana with family all over the state, and I've never heard of a lot of the places you visit. That's how big Montana is. Love your videos.
