If you like coal mining ruins, history, rail trails & abandoned bridges, then you'll certainly enjoy this adventure.
Awesome job man. I live in the plot a block from those abutments. Glad to see someone else with the same curiosity of what shaped the past in our area.
Wow. Current maps, old maps, old pics, all tied into each other so we can follow along - you are becoming the greatest content creator of all time. Thank you so much for the great entertainment.
The bridges were awesome as well as the trails, but it was the absolute beauty of the surrounding nature that was really the icing on the cake. Looking forward to your next video. Until then take care and God bless.
I really like how you sit and talk to the camera as if we're right there with you. Makes your videos much more personable. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for mentioning that. I always try to include the viewers in my adventures.
Your still shots at the end are train museum quality, love those! The drone footage was awesome, too! Really cool how you integrated old stills of the colliery to show what it all used to look like, combined with your detective skills at following the rail trail, hunting for old abutments. Some favorite moments: Having fun with your bike jumping hills of coal silt; Climbing up on an old abutment (where you scared the bird, lol!) to get a view of the river and to see across; and my favorite zen moment: the water's edge shot, to let us hear the lovely sound of gently rushing water over the rocks. Excellent video!! And no snakes!😃Thanks for bringing us along!💙
I had lots of fun and learned alot making this video and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great video I always enjoy going on these adventures with you👍👍
Wonderful images. I do love seeing different kinds of stone wall structures and the colours they develop over time. It is a favorite subject for pencil and watercolor work. Thank you.
its so cool seeing this, my friends and i used to hangout there very often and cross that bridge. literally just 6 years ago there were massive hills and the 2 bridges werent fenced off. the colliery bridges
up until about 3 years ago the conveyer was still there along with 2 trains on the inactive tracks
Darn! I thought we were going for pizza & a soda after all that hiking.😂
A nice giggle at the end-- "You're still here---" ect .
So...now we'll just on to another wonderful JP video🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👌☺️
😁
I love, love, love it when you show us the old maps/aerial views of a location.
I enjoy sharing how things looked and then transitioning into modern day. Really puts things into perspective.
I literally just hitchhiked back from exploring an abandoned gold mine 30 minutes ago!
What a great morning! And I'm learning something.
I sure do like that old stone wall !! I love those old bridges !! I really lile those pictures at the end of the video !! P.s. I still think you should make a calender from the pictures you take I would definitely purchase one !! Great video as alway's !! 👍👍
Awesome place and adventure JP! So many cool finds! Love seeing the old photos of it from the past! Thanks for bringing us along and sharing it's history with us!
great video, best part was you riding the coal slag hills
The bridge you walked across is a truss bridge. The top railing is actually the top cord of the bridge. There is no girder there.
Thanks for that info
A beautiful place for a hike 😀
What a wonderful adventure JP and I learned so much with all the great history! Like you said, it would have been something to see when the Colliery was in operation with all the action and so forth. Beautiful area and love the footage when you had the camera close to the water. The items you found further down the trail were very interesting too and the ending was so awesome! 😂 Great video, thank you!
Thanks for stopping by the Premiere
That coal mining track looks super fun
Pretty neat seeing a small glimpse into the past
Yay! A toy! Officially abandoned train rail. She looks like Edna "E" Mode from The Incredibles movie. Awesome video! Beautiful place to go for a hike!! Thank you for taking me along!!
Random place for a toy haha
Exciting explore! So many things hiding in the bushes. I loved the bridges and finding that fence that doesn't seem to make sense there and those small posts in the woods -something mysterious about that. -Thank you for taking us along this explore!
It was interesting and exciting for sure.
That pile of coal with the track loader on it has been there almost 100 years, that's amazing that it's still there. Then again, coal isn't used like it was in the past.
That little toy was Edna off the Incredibles movie 😊. I swear you are a wealth of information. So much history in your state. I am fascinated with the coal mining and RR industries because of my family ancestors. I wish I knew more about my German ancestors who were miners there in Pennsylvania. They moved from Pennsylvania into Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. It blows my mind how you can immediately sense historical architecture is tied to the RR or coal industry. Beautiful photos as usual. ✌
I suprise myself sometimes with what I can identify or piece together.
At 18:00, on this same line upstream about 1.1 miles in a straight line, there was another trestle. The abutment is still intact (on the same side as this one is) while the abutment on the opposite side of the river is at ground level now. You can still see some blocks in the sand and the river. About .2 miles further there is yet another two abutments that are neat looking because they went across the other rr tracks at an angle. That trestle also looked more massive than the 1904 one. Also, this line went under 81 but it was filled in with rock about 30 years ago.
Amazing video. Love the journey!!!!
At 54:48, the fence was the property boundary line. There hasn't been any trains across that bridge in probably about 5 years. You could have went across. When the river depth gauge is at about 2 feet, the depth under the bridge is about 5 to 6 feet deep. I just saw kids jumping from the bridge on 6/6/2023. The fence used to go to the bridge. You can still see some of it there. The recycling center put a pipe in, that's why they had to remove part of the fence. All the "leachate" from the cans and bottles drains into the river. Sometimes it smells really bad here and on the trail. Did you smell anything? You did miss a building that's still up-the fan house. Maybe you can go up on top of the conveyor belt bridge and film the fan house too. The elevator shaft is still there also and part of the tunnel that went to the breaker.
So fun watching you explore. My personal favorite is when you go in the water exploring and give us a glimpse of what’s going on there. Anything like that coming up this summer? 🤞 Have a great weekend! 👍
Once we get steady hot temps I'll be heading to some water holes.
I've been gone a long time, I need to go home. Your channel makes me homesick,
The whole video was great JP, I think I loved the bridges the best
Thanks
@@JPVideos81 Cool video. Really enjoyed it.
very interesting video. I enjoy the old mines, houses etc. . anything old I guess, take care looking forward to the next video.
Me too, that's why I enjoy documenting them.
A toy ..😊..love it ...This was a beautiul area to explore . So hard to imagine how it must have looked once upon a time ...with all the activity and noise ... You are right . Most people would pass these old relics and never give a thought to what they were . Thank you for sharing another bit of history ....and we didn't have to worry about the snakes or tics at all ..🙃 💙👍
If they ever invent a time machine, I'd travel back to see this colliery in operation. Thanks for joining in the premiere.
@@JPVideos81 Always fun ....and learn a lot !
Gosh, great video & so much history !
Thanks for all information ! Jp
Jay, you are getting great workouts on that bike ! So been out there !
So beautiful!
It's a great tool for exploring and I'm enjoying it.
Those bridge abutments were The New York Ontario and Western Railroad crossing the Lackawanna River and over the D&H mainline and at the beginning of the video you were on the former O&W mainline
According to the rail guide map it showed the NYO&W
Yeah
There was a lot of bridges on the line there’s one in Dickson City and one by the Lackawanna River in between the Dickson City Throop border you can check out
Jp you always have great videos keep up the great work stay warm be good be safe get plenty of rest and get enough to eat ok
Very interesting video. Thanks for another great video.
That red building was beautiful.
I thought those bridges got completely demolished when the car dealership built on the property. You'd always see the covered one when driving on Main in that area.
Recently started watching your videos and this is my favorite so far.I used to hang out on railroad tracks,in old box cars when I was a troubled teen and I wish I would paid more attention or wanted to learn about the history of them back then because watching this video I apparently missed out on a lot back then.Thanks for sharing your videos.Ive been saving the ones I watched 🙂
Glad you found the channel. Check my playlists for more content.
Very well put together, informative, I enjoyed trip with you.
Thanks
At 28:46, back in the late 70's to the early 90's many bikes and quads would be climbing these hills. It was about 200 feet high.
When I was a kid I remember seeing molten slag dumped in a bony dump. They built a shopping center on top of it.
What city and state?
@@rxc640 Near Pittsburg
Absolutely enjoy watching your adventures JP, this was awesome, thanks for taking us along your journey. We hung around on the end of the video a little longer to see what was on the menu, when you mentioned eating, the stomach grumbled 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
Always enjoy your adventures
Thank you
I enjoyed the video it was interesting and nice to look back on things that are no more. The bridges were cool to see and the country side. I liked the still shot and the music. Thank you again for sharing with us...
if that place was in operation a hundred years just think what's under ground
Lots of empty tunnels
Google pa mine maps, you won't believe how hollow it is underground...
At 51:23, all that stuff is in the same place as it was before the trail was put in. The only thing that changed was a 3 foot square hole about 8 feet deep that was filled in near the track crossing. I think it was lined with concrete and had pipes in it. There is a similar one still there at the Underwood Colliery.
Great video as always,JP
I enjoyed the video and seem to remember you mentioning the Von Storch name on a mausoleum at that beautiful cemetery that you took us to awhile back. I wonder if same family? Thank you for taking us along with you, JP; very nice! ….🌝
You're correct. That is a prominent name in the city of Scranton and wouldn't be suprised if they had some relation to the colliery.
Back in the 80's & 90's this area used to be a hot spot for ATV & Dirt Bike riders who would 'Climb' the Marvine and for the spectators who would come just for the party atmosphere. That all changed when a significant amount of culm was transported by rail a few miles east to Archbald, PA to be burned in a Cogeneration Power Plant which sat on the site of the former Gravity Slope Breaker.
I remember the big mountain of culm along 81 years ago and wondered what happened to it.
I was there! What bike did you have?
@@rxc640 An RM80 with a purple and yellow seat.
@@brianbaigis I don't remember seeing one like that.
great video 👍
Foundation to a bridge or maybe a conveyer . That 1 1/2" cable was used to tie something heavy.
I always wondered what those two bridges looked like up close. N Scale architect made a kit of the Marvine. I think they called it Lackawanna coal company. Also, Walther's has a model called water Street freight station. Its based off the D&H freight station in Scranton.
Cool stuff, being a Model Railroader I can appreciate the scenery. That is a cool E Bike, whats the speed and how long does the battery last.
Goes up to 28 mph and each battery gets around 30 miles (has 2 batteries)
That little cartoon you saw is from the movie The Incredibles.
At 13:08, I saw that too. In the general area, I saw it about 10 times.
Thank you again JPVideos 👍
Anytime Mel 😉💙
Thanks again Jay for the awesome video
Thanks for checking it out
The large ties that you used your hand for size look like bridge timber
I believe you're correct. After doing the research to see what was there, that would make sense of their use.
Love ur videos!Thanks for posting.
You're welcome!
I use to play on all that stuff you showed
Adult playground
The coal hills use to be so much higher 30 years ago I use to be able to see em from everywhere in the neighborhood
FYI There's a bridge abutment up behind the Ben Mar restaurant in Carbondale.
The O&W bridge that crossed above the town of Carbondale
@@anthraciteproductions4732 What line were the abutments in Dunmore for? There's one right behind the tank at the end of Blakely Street and a matching one across the street next to the one bar.
I know there was a line that ran across the street the current and former Riccardo's Market stores are on.
@@CheapestGamer I think that’s the Erie Railroad
At 21:17, there are two more nice abutments about 250' behind you.
Awesome video thanks JP
Lindo lugar em meio a natureza limpo e preservado
Awesome video thanks love seeing things from the past
Glad you enjoyed it
At 22:29, you can see a tree that fell on the bridge. It dented the rail a little bit.
As an Roller Coaster Enthusiast and Theme Park Junkie, I hope some Roller Coaster Manufacturers like, Vekoma, or MACK could probably duplicate these bridges to run on and model their trains for their Family Mine Coasters after Battery Powered Mine Locomotives, Built in the 1910's through early 40's including Greensburg's Battery Powered Mine Locomotives built by the Greensburg Machine Company of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. However, RMC should get involved in building Family Mine Coasters as well, and they could probably duplicate their trains after Battery Powered Mine Locomotives built by any manufacturer.
Ferris at the end, haha.
Central California watching
I liked all of it.
This was mind and lots of NS kids playground. Spent lost of time back there.
At 9:55, I am pretty sure you are at the conveyors.
Awesome video
At 25:54, did you see the cables for the USGS?
At 6:25, possibly a conveyor?
My kids said the plastic character is Edna Mode from the incredibles...
A coal storage build
The figure is NCIS LA Hetty
Could it be for a grits mill or corn for some reason
Awesome video. What is the name of the app?
Rail guide
@@JPVideos81 thank you!!
At 4:30, what map did you use?
Might have been for loading barges
❤ 💙
Darla mtv show was one of your toy finds!
A few people said edna from Incredibles
Life of Daria mtv animated show
4:14 Tina from Bob’s Burgers.
At 37:56, I thought you said "hinky" at first. "I don't want you guys using words around me that have no meaning". Do you know what movie that is from?
Fugitive
Yes@@piggyroo100
the incredibles
Dora the explorer! Maybe?
That is Dora the Explorer! She is waiting to show you around....lol
At 4:05, I am the one that put the toy there. I think it's Dora the Explorer?
Edna from Incredibles
Hard to believe you didn't recognized one of the most famous explorer that ever explored! Dora the Explorer! pfffft
That wasn't Dora lol, it's Edna from Incredibles.
@@JPVideos81 🤣🤣😂😂
Nice video but sign on trail says No motor vehicles.. I guess electrical motors don't count.. there motors!!
