Abandoned Street Running Railroad Tracks! Abandoned Trestle & Old Railroad Cars, Marietta Ohio RR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- Abandoned railroad street tracks right in the middle of the roadway! Huge abandoned railroad trestle and abandoned railroad cars that have been restored and left right on the old railroad mainline. Belpre Industrial Parkersburg Railroad ( BIP ) is also here in Marietta, Ohio. I filmed street running trains on the BIP on Harmar Street here in Marietta and then I noticed the old trolley tracks on the other side of town. I came back to film those on July 14, 2021 and also filmed the trestle and railroad cars that are on display. The old trolley tracks are still in place for over 4 blocks right in the middle of the city. That is the longest stretch of abandoned trolley tracks that I have ever seen. The tracks run down the brick streets in Marietta. There are about 7 miles of brick streets in Marietta and there are more brick street mileage in Marietta than any other city in Ohio. I also noticed at least 2 track switches are still in place in the streets although the tracks end in a short stub. The trolley tracks are on the east side of the city and the actual railroad tracks are on the west side separated by the Muskingum River. It is also very interesting that the west side of the city has a long section of street running railroad track right down the middle of Harmar Street that are still in use by the BIP Railroad. See my videos of the street running trains here in Marietta. • Train Coming Down Midd... Marietta also has the last steam powered stern wheeled tow boat in the country. The W P Snyder Jr was built in 1918 . I was lucky to catch a big boat going under the trestle but that was not the Snyder Jr. This video was filmed on July 14, 2021, Thanks for watching!

Not only the trolley tracks are cool, but those old "antique" brick roads. It's amazing how those bricks stay level after decades of freezing and thawing. That was a work of craftsmanship I don't think could be duplicated today.
Very true!
We maintain them. Dig up entire streets when necessary and lay back down. We have more brick streets than any other town in US.

@@shamrockgirl6595 Thanks for the info. In the city I live in Wisconsin, we still have a few blocks of brick streets that are still in relatively good shape. Unfortunately once they are dug up, they are not replaced. So I'm guessing the remaining brick streets are original streets. The bricks we have here are very heavy, you swear they are made of lead. Thanks again for the link.
I wish see old days Ohio railroad , thank you .
Abandoned railroad in Ohio nice town awesome video jaw tooth bless you keep bringing new videos busy area lots of business

Love that you tracked down the trolley rails as far as you could... really interesting, pretty cool!!
Fantastic
Coverage
🌱🌱🇮🇳🌱🌱
It's always sad to see old track not being used anymore. Thanks for sharing!
Every time I see Abandoned Tracks,I want to go back to the Time when they were used.
Jaw tooth you are Totally Awesome with all of your Railroad Videos.
Hi Jaw Tooth! Awesome video! Love those abandoned street running tracks, those old B&O equipment and the trestles too. Very cool!

That area has some pretty houses and buildings. Clean looking downtown
Sure is
Recently, SAWTOOTH filmed 🎥 the train 🚆 that still travels through Harmar Village/Marietta, Ohio. We've got tons of trains 🚆.

Really nice looking little town. Antique shops where are you?? The train in the center of street in town...can't get much better than that. At the end, the caboose color almost matched your shirt exactly. Is kitty ok? You usually film her and dogs together. When your outside she is usually right at your feet.
Love the checking out old abandoned artifacts. I call that railroad achaeology. The river flowing into the Ohio is the Muskingum River
Love looking at old railroad tracks and relics I’m a history buff especially when it comes to railroads
Really cool Jawtooth! I'm glad they've preserved those old brick paved streets and rails! Awesome history there! Beautiful vibe from the good old days! Thanks for sharing! Awesome catch on that boat! Beautiful!
We have more brick streets than any other town in the USA.
@@shamrockgirl6595 thanks 👍
@@shamrockgirl6595 I presume there are no potholes on brick paved streets.
@@luislaplume8261
No. lol
The Harmar bridge has an awesome history. First built as a covered bridge and then converted in the 1860's .
Good morning ✝️
Good morning Bridgett!

Great video . Love old railways . Love your videos all the best . Great work. Hope to see more of cool videos from the the USA . Love it cheers have a great day . Cheers .
Thank you very much!
Thanks Jaw Tooth. Have a great day Thank you cheers
You sounded like the railroad archeologist who hangs out in South Florida and is always searching out abandoned tracks and switches......When I was growing up in the Bronx in the 1950s, not only were there lots of recently abandoned trolley tracks (NYC had just switched to buses), but several streets still had their original cobblestones that were rounded rather than flat-topped like bricks. That was a REALLY bumpy ride over those stones. Whenever the street had to be opened up to find a water main, gas line or electrical wires, the workers had to be very careful when they removed the cobblestones. Like pieces in a jigsaw puzzle, each stone had to be replaced in the same position it had been in before the street work started......That paddle wheel boat was very cool.....Great video.
Milwaukee used many granite pavers in their streets. Quite a few still buried under the asphalt to this day. Two years ago when digging for the base of our new light rail they unearthed several blocks of old streetcar tracks in granite pavers last used circa 1953
Just think how cool it would be to see those trolleys running down the street again.
Great video once again.
Take care. 😎👍👌
We're working on it. Check out the old pics and videos of the interurban that use to travel our tracks:

@@shamrockgirl6595 thanks a bunch
Man , a lot of live action in that video. Thanks Jaw Tooth. Marietta, Ohio looks like a nice place to live.
Marietta, Ohio, looks nice. I like the street lights. They look better than the ones that stand on city streets. The old railcars are nice. "How is Chessie and the other doggies doing?"
Doing pretty good except one of my dogs is pretty old
@@JawTooth I will pray for you and the rest of your family, including the old dog.

One of my favorite videos you've ever done. Tracks left behind, tracks going to nowhere - clues left if you know to look. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, will do!

Trolley and paddle wheel boat. Fond memories & I was a kid! Thanks JT.
I’m from Marietta. They actually just turned the bridge about a year ago. And until then you actually could walk across. I believe it just wasn’t safe anymore. Lots of people (myself included) would have senior pictures taken there.
A lot of history in Marietta. What intrigued me was the original Cobble stone the roads where built with. Wow!, you just don't see much of that anymore.

That tressel actually rotates so the old stream boats could get through. Once a year they open the tressel. The paddle Wheeler is called the Valley Gem, they offer tours going north towards Pittsburgh, on the Ohio River
Wow! This video brings back childhood memories from Brooklyn. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it Miguel!
@@JawTooth Thanks again.
Very COOL abandoned tracks, old freight cars, passenger cars, and a AWESOME trestle over the river! NICE view of the river barge or ferry going down the river to. I love that yellow CHESSIE SYSTEM caboose! I would definitely love to have it somewhere in my yard, three acres of property. Thanks for sharing JT!
Would love to see some old footage of trains running on these abandoned tracks. Almost spit my coffee out when you said "Mrs. Tooth just got home". :D
You'll find old footage at:

I chuckled at the “ Mrs Tooth” comment, got a thumbs up and a dozen likes for the dogs…
Very cool.
You can tell it was a trolley - look at the radius of the curves! Thanks for the history and thanks for the shot of the paddle wheeler :)
We had an Interuban. Check out the old pics and videos:

Thank you. The bridge was B&O, but the tracks in the streets where the interurban. There are still CSX tracks on the Harmar B&O side
10:25---"Mrs. Tooth just got home from work". Lol. Thanks for another great vid. Loved the paddle-wheeler, old trestle, tracks in the street.
Thanks for watching!
I Love your video.
I love street car tracks.
I grew up in Marietta. Used to March parades on those bricks and tracks during my career in marching band.
I was in the band too! Small world!
m.facebook.com/www.HarmarVillageMariettaOhio/
Wow, some very beautiful footage in this video, great job.
Apparently the Harmar bridge was closed to pedestrian traffic in early 2020 and a project to restore it is underway. There's some interesting history on the streetcar system and tracks out there on the 'net and thanks for impelling that little journey into the past. Good stuff.
They need to put that street car line back in use every day!!!!

Wow‼️I love the video. It was very interesting and a beautiful scenery. I enjoyed it. As you say ‘That was cool’
Thank you very much!
That was pretty good. Then we'll passenger cars were there like a restaurant or something in there another good one keep them coming thank you
Great video of the old trolley tracks. The paddle boat was a nice bonus! What a different world it was when those trolleys were running.
Awesome video, after all these years tracks are still in the road.

Great Video!! Very interesting. Thank you very much Mr. Jaw Tooth! Take care!
Hi Jaw Tooth,very interesting. Thanks for the video
My pleasure!
I live in Marietta, Ohio!!! :) The Captain of the Valley Gem Sternwheeler is a relative of mine. Let me know when you come back to town again and we can setup a meeting!
even with the bumpy road you did a good job filming
Very interesting JT, love to look at this historical stuff.
You and me both!
This is cool. Remember growing up I Dearborn Michigan thare were tracks going from Dearborn to Detroit Michigan on Michigan Ave now they redid the road and took the tracks out about 10 years ago and the bricks
Home of Ford Motor Company
Cool!! Video
Thanks Evan!
Really cool place
Cool abandoned tracks of the street cars, where I live there used to be about 10 miles of street cars a century ago
Great video! Very interesting.
Your dogs are all well fed. 🥰
Maybe a little bit too much
Very interesting video and I love that steam boat! 👍
The smaller river is the Muskingum. There are a series of locks allowing boats to travel at least as far as Zanesville. Thank you Jaw Tooth.
Actually you can go as far as Dresden on the Muskingum, as there is a lock above Zanesville.

Wow, I love your fascinating subjects and your narration is the best.
Wow, thank you!
Love this one Great video !!
Paddle boat was a nice addition!! We have one here by Grand Rapids, Michigan . Lots of fun to ride on the Grand River.
Very cool!
Great video, keep up the good work.
AWESOME!!!😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈😁🎈
🎉
There are also such remnants in Columbus GA. A consious memory of the past.
I'm planning on getting up there soon. I have a few places that I want to visit
@@JawTooth The streets with rail remnants are named on coasttram.info/street running trains. In the relevant state. Correction : not Columbus Ohio but Columbus Georgia.
That THROUGH TRUSS BRIDGE is really cool.
Wow this video is really cool. The paddle boat was great. Thanks Jaw Tooth, your videos are awesome just like you are!!!!
Cool man cool... like it when you show history, my uncle was big on Trolleys as he grew up riding them to school when he was a boy.
Rusty rails buried in the grass, wonder when the last rain ran on them ?!?
Spectacular video !! Wooooooo......... keep 'em coming 👍 👍
Very cool!
That's a cool looking boat
Ohio has some really neat old towns! My guess is that street running track, was once part of an Interurban line, and not just a street car track?
We once had an Interurban line that ran through the town of Plymouth, Michigan here, and connected it with many other nearby towns, and eventually ran into Detroit! It paralleled the Pere Marquette tracks between Northville, and Wayne, Michigan.
Some of the abandoned tracks were still buried in the dirt North of town, when my parents & I moved here in 1958!
It was!

GREAT VIDEO!
Hey, glad you took my suggestion and went to Marietta Williamstown Saint Mary's and Parkersburg. Vidoes are awesome. The rail and brick for the trolley is still under the roads, they just paved over it all. They did start out horse drawn and quickly went electric. There are pics out there on historic Marietta FB groups. You can ride the Paddle Wheel boat. It docks under the Washington St bridge. Also for future trips Harmar is pronounced "Har Mer" , named after Fort Harmar that General George Washington created in 1785. Marietta is the oldest settlement in Ohio. 1788. Lots of street running in the area. Check out Friendly Wv too sometimes. And the Parkersburg wv trestle on the Oh side in Belpre is cool.
nice look at the old streetcar line, that single point turnout is a rare catch. Notice how most of the track is regular rail while the switch is single point and some guard rail track. Thanks for the tour JT 😁
cool find the river boad looks like it would be fun
THIS be why I wants a rubber tired trolley car to traverse these abandoned tracks for fun & surprise people hehe
Really good video. I think everyone would love to see more of the trestle and the tracks the lead up to it and the condition of the rails on the trestle.
The rails were removed a long time ago.
Very nice!!!
Good video jawtooth
Drive-through railfanning -- because America! 😄
The unused trolley line could reactivated as a tourist attraction.
Thats what I was thinking
@@JawTooth other cities are re-activating old traction lines. They use newer, energy efficient vehicles and other amendments. Good scenery.
@@JawTooth The Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad was an early rail line that ran through Southeastern Ohio. The Eastern portion of the line connected Athens to Marietta. Though it passed through communities in Washington County like Vincent and Cutler, the route through the hills necessitated many tunnels, trestles and culverts and were expensive to maintain. The portion of the M&C line west of Athens also featured tunnels, but was generally straighter and easier to maintain. In 1874, after the Baltimore and Ohio gained control of the M&C, the company abandoned the old line from Marietta to Athens in favor of a shorter line from Belpre to Athens. The M&C line west of Athens remained in use until the 1980s. Today many impressive stone tunnels and culverts remain along the original M&C line.
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars yea
@@FabianDiazTrainsTrucksNCars it could be dangerous though
Hey jawtooth # 1. Good train live action by a.pro. 👍🍻. Ps I.like your arm swing.🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Welcome to my world of railfanning! That’s all I catch is rails!!
Have a great week Jawtooth!!
Very cool Brian! Love the street running tracks!

You always manage to find such interesting things to video plus you narration and explanation makes the video so enjoyable good job JT
Awww doggies and trains another great video keep em coming
Thank you, I will
Looks like a fairly active downtown and without a doubt one of the longer sections of brick streets still extant much less with that much rail still visible. That bridge looks in very good condition and perhaps there were plans to operate the older cars over that portion. Ive seen a photo of the Warsaw (IN) RR waiting for the traffic light in Courthouse Square with their Plymouth loco and several freight cars. This was a remnant of the interurban and lasted 10 years or so after the passenger service ended. When surrounded by old autos and frt cars its super neat. Today you were like Johnny cash in I Walk the Line
A part is reconstructed in 2013. At Krebs Trailhead park.
We have more brick streets than any US 🇺🇸 town.

@@shamrockgirl6595 thanks much for the info. Delavan WI has 2 blocks in very good condition downtown. Here in Milwaukee alleys had bricks into the early 1920s when new construction turned to concrete and likewise on main streets. Due to their proximity the streets here were paved in cut granite blocks hewn at numerous state quarries. Many in fact were used in Chicago due to their durability. A lot of streets here still have them buried under a coat of asphalt. I missed a great photo 20 years ago when they shaved the old asphalt off an old dual streetcar crossover firmly planted in granite pieces. These streets are a bit bumpier than bricks but last longer. For real history in 1985 a main roadway was excavated and old half hewn logs were found from circa 1850 on what was known as Watertown Plank Road. Oh yes the average curb was a long slab of limestone some still out there. Quarries were in Monticello. Lohrville and Red Granite..Thanks again!
That's an excellent video Jaw! It must has been so nice to see a train on the street running a while ago.
