Unclogging Tight Pipe And Hoosac Tunnel Clogged
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

Thanks for watching
Have you ever considered fundraising for a water jet? We, your fans, could easily crowd fund you this thing.
I have went back through days of your videos
Not once was your car seen by the outside oddly unless I didn't see it
💛💛❤️❤️💗💗💚💚💜💜💙💙
@@Selmarya Think i have seen it a few times when he showed his provisions when he slept inside.
@@simonworthington5162 oh yeah forgor about that
These videos are therapeutic.
Yeah they are aren't they... and he does them for fun, they are very interesting too
💯
I absolutely agree
Meanwhile, in the house across the road .....
"Wilbur, there's a guy with a rake, standing in freezing water and making cat-calls, should we call the police?""
"Nah Martha, he's an outstanding gentleman, a hero of the eternal fight against beavers I'm told"
😂
This is great
or the cops come and say "wtf are you doing??"
Hell yea man ! LOL that was awesome😁
OMG this has to be my favorite video yet! I've been binging on this channel over a week now. My husband and I would watch your other one together, the New England Wildlife channel where you find vintage products and open them etc. He passed away in October so finding you had another channel full of videos I haven't seen yet... so comforting! I know he's watching beside me. Those icicles were amazing!
@@saintsefo4763 thank you
@@stormgirl604 so sorry for your loss. I hope and wish you the best.
I know your comment was from 2 years ago but I’m sorry for the loss of your husband. I hope life is treating you well.
The more I watch this channel every day, the more I fall in love. This guy is such a sweetheart and his videos are a hidden gem on the RUclips land.
As an Aussie, from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for posting the temps in degrees C! Also genuinely grateful never to have even seen snowy or icy weather in person, let alone had to deal with the variety of effects it has on infrastructure, you're doing a fantastic job out there brother!
As a Russian, I'm thankful too.
As an Englishman, I'm thankful
As a Canadian also thankful (even though Canada is weird since we use both systems for different things)
It's a simple formula...(10F - 32) x 5/9 = -12.22C
As a German too
Hi Post 10. I’m a railfan just like you. Unfortunately the railroads ( Norfolk Southern, CSX) here in the east and the railroad companies out west will only spend the minimum they have to in order to keep the right of way in operation. They won’t fix anything unless push absolutely comes to shove.
Be safe my friend
PS - Thank you for sharing that footage of the train! Very cool!
Johnathan Lewis I wonder why the railroad I worked for has Gradall, Dozers, and all the other equipment needed to maintain the right of way? I think you made a shotgun statement without anything to back you up. Maybe you should see the budget for fixing right of way issues, not to mention rail, ties and ballast. Tunnel and bridge work also.
I love how much you care about your little spot here on our planet. Watching you is inspiring, educational, heartwarming and relaxing. Thank you!
I hope enough people living in this area see your video and complain before it's gone. Thank you for being brave for us. 👍👍
Thanks for taking us through the tunnel, something I never would of done on my own (although now I'm too old and disabled). Thank you for letting is live vicariously through you! Be safe Post & Ghost!
Post and Ghost dream team, fab video, i love revisiting these locations, thanks for sharing x
I’m a huge fan of this location and one day plan to visit it
I love your little exploratory adventures. But the spiders give me goosebumps
When my youngest son was in boot camp. His first night was so very hard for him. His first bunk was next to a window and when he heard a train going by it reminded him of home and he was so comforted he was able to get sleep from then on! We love the sound of a train 💕🚂
Hi Post 10. I love your channel and the great content you share with us. I just ask you this. Be careful. There’s a lot of bad actors out there and people who just don’t care. When you go out whether it be unclogging storm drains or whatever please be safe. Have a great day. God bless
Hi Post10, just wanted to say thanks for taking us along with you exploring and cleaning up some of the US vital infrastructure. Stay safe and thx for all you do.
Following the driver of the semi was scarier then walking through the culvert full on spiders!!! 😳 Again thank you for taking us with you on your adventures! 😁👍🏻❤️
Dude I love watching all your content. We share a lot of interests. Long time watcher of the Wildlife Channel. Keep both going! Props from Wisconsin
I only recently came across your channel and I didn’t realize you lived in the New England area (MA resident here!). I thought you were planning to go into the train tunnel (glad you didn’t!) but it was just as nerve wracking to watch you go through the culvert. Black widows? No thanks! Mini waterfalls? Yikes! Glad you made it out safely!
I was really hoping you were going to get the beaver culvert unclogged- it would have been so cool to see it start gushing out at the other end as soon as you did. Great technique to show the second camera view simultaneously!
What a wonderful comment, Cindy! Cheers!
Hi mate and wife I am watching your video right now and I'm glad to hear you again and watching your video are great to watch all the time time thanks
And again, another video of amazing scenes and you getting yourself in scary tight spots. Your videos are the only ones I find myself praying nothing bad happens as my heart is racing. LoL
"I actually think I'm going to grab the rake"
Me: Oh boy, this is gonna be good!
Wow, that train had a lot of well kept wheels. You usually can hear the flanges screeching and scraping against the rails as well as the clopping of flat spots with a lot of trains. I only heard a couple in the whole thing.
The track looked nasty, though. That would be a really cool place to watch a track grinder train come out of the tunnel.
Track and wheels are wet and they aren't driving very fast
Could also be a flange way greaser unit up the track prior to the train coming into the tunnel.
Man it's sad to see something that nice being destroyed due to neglect
Really interesting stuff, Post. Never did much thinking about the drainage for a tunnel of this size, but water is always present and has to be moved out somehow. The railroad that owned it in recent decades was Guilford Transportation, later renamed to Pan Am Railways. Then, Norfolk Southern went 50/50 in a joint venture with Pan Am and a new company was formed, Pan Am Southern. Now, with CSX ready to assume total control of Pan Am in a buyout, this tunnel will then be joint owned by two large Class 1 railroads, CSX and NS. And shortline Pan Am will go into the history books.
I grew up a block and a half from the train station. 8 years ago I moved to a town the trains run through after being away from living close to the trains going through for 60 years. What a joy listening to the trains when they come through. I had to move away from the trains again and I miss them. I enjoyed this video so much.
To the left of that outfall pipe and trestle is the ruins of the abandoned steam generator plant used to power the drills to dig the tunnel. There are water passageways in there and several old turbine cutouts. Massive clogs. The building is just visible from the road in the winter and worthy of your exploration. I’m surprised you didn’t see it.
Thanks for taking us on the tour! Can't believe u camped in ur vehicle overnight. That culvert was so cool!
"We got it going a little better!!"
I feel involved when he says 'we' 🙂
You are so right about keeping that up and not letting it be destroyed.
Love it when you combine culvert work and trains.
This is really cool! I'm an English teacher and we just read a story about the Hoosac Tunnel called The Bloody Pit! It was about when they were building the ventilation system for the tunnel and there was a huge explosion that ended up trapping and killing 13 men. It was really sad but also interesting.
What an exciting adventure through that culvert! The craftsmanship of that stonework… unbelievable. I bet there’s blood, sweat, and tears on every rock 💔
When you got to those large trash racks clogged with debris, I was like “Oh ho ho HO, major future unclogging video incoming?”
And then you literally stood over it, behind it.
Bloody hell that sediment! All those years and NOTHING done to clean it out?!
I know America is a big place…with a LOT of space…on top of it being a big place, and I’m well aware not everyone has all the time to spare to do it, but unless people are too busy, you’d think keeping something like that maintained and in good condition would be as easy as getting say…not even half a dozen decently hard working guys and gals, working as volunteers, who drive up in a truck together every once in a while, to keep those things unclogged, just like a steady dependable rota of volunteering working folks to keep these structures standing and tidy.
I would know, I’ve literally been in that position.
At weekends me and a few hard working guys and gals would go out to places like this and clean them up, repair boardwalks through pond areas, build small simple bridges to take a trail over a small stream, conservation volunteers we called ourselves. It was good work.
If only people cared enough over there to do the same, just like squads of Post 10 types everywhere! 😂
Fascinating, as usual. Love the train, and that is some amazing culvert. The water is so clean and clear!
My heart was in my mouth, my stomach was churning, I was so flaming scared!!! I cheered when I saw daylight. Well done 👏🏽 ✔ 👍
That railway culvert is amazingly good despite its age. Amazing job by the people who built it.
You could have save some lives there at the ebd with that trucker proably going to sleep well done post 10 and Ghost for telling you to honk at him congratulations nice job to both of you and also on the video enjoyed it as always
Thank you for bringing this important matter to the attention of the people regarding the situation at Hoosac Tunnel. Things are very serious there, one would hope that somebody from Norfolk Southern Railroad Company will see this. This is serious neglect, the rail is in serious condition and is in dire need of replacement, if not the rail could fail and a derailment would occur.
The trash guards are also in need of serious maintenance, as you rightly point out, it will not be long before these fail also. I am surprised that such a reputable railroad company like Norfolk Southern has allowed things to get into this condition. It is hoped that this neglect will not continue. Thank for this excellent video presentation, it is much appreciated.
For those deep, hard to reach clogs, have you considered using 4-5 foot sections of black iron pipe. If threaded at both ends you can use couplers and connect them to whatever length you need. If you know someone handy with a welder they can weld a rake head on one section and you can use that as your first section. Just a thought that might help in the future 👍
That old rock wall is history being left to erode. Makes me sad to see them treat it with such disrespect.
So great that you managed to alert that driver. Many years ago in Mass I got run right off the edge of the road by a truck with no lights on. After going through tolls, I glanced in my blind spot to see if I could merge left and some instinct (God?) made me look twice, realized I was looking at the dark front grill of a huge truck and quickly pulled off to the right. After that a bunch of us followed him, all the cars flashing lights at him until he figured it out. I was transporting a bunch of kids. Still shakes me to think what we avoided.
I visited the Hoosac tunnel a few times and was an awesome sight to see. Thanks for the video.
Dude! Respect all the way from Ireland! My wife and i love your vids! Keep doing what you do!
Dude you probably saved that drivers life that night and probably someone’s else’s as well., he could have sent it off the road or into another car. Thanks for sharing!
Fascinating. Thank you for sharing those incredible exploration videos!
Another great video. Interesting culvert construction. Your are right, they should maintain it. Nothing is built to last anymore.
And for a bonus, a train! ☺️
Back in the later 70's and all of the 80's we lived in a mobile home park that had train tracks running along side of it. I loved listening to the sounds of it and when we moved, I couldn't sleep at night because it was too quiet. We moved again in 2003 and where we are now we can hear the trains blowing their horns as they leave the yard office area. I would give up my house and go back to living in that mobile home park again if it were possible. My FIL worked for the C&O railroad for 35+ years and had some good stories of things that happened in his work day.
That was beautiful. Thank you for taking us through that very old culvert.
I didn’t think we would get to see the end of that train, it just went on and on. This was a fascinating video, and you are most definitely passionate about the lack of commitment shown by the railroad company, they obviously need to heed some of your advice, but I guess they won’t, shame ! 😩
I definitely had fun watching this episode. It looked cold out there. Your poor hands were blood red.
Red means there's blood flowing through them. White or blue means your system's given up and cut the blood off, and they won't get warm again after that unless you provide some source of heat, like sticking your icy hands inside your clothes and putting them in your armpits. Thanks, Boy Scouts.
My father and grandfather took me to visit Yankee Rowe and the Hoosac one day a long time ago - we were only a *few* yards into the tunnel (*honestly not far and not going any further) when it became clear that an eastbound train was on the move towards us.
A very memorable day for me.
Thoroughly enjoy your vids, Post 10 - I think like everyone else, I enjoy seeing the end results of a job well done.
The post10 notification squad is gathered here once again!
I'll cheers to that. 🍻
Here is more info about the abandoned railroad tracks near my house. This abandoned railway started out in 1881 as part of the Cincinnati, Lebanon and Northern Railway, known as the "Highland Route" to locals. Initially a narrow-gauge line, it was converted to standard gauge just 3 years after the line's completion. The line saw both freight and passenger traffic, though passenger service ceased in 1934. After a series of bankruptcies, it was purchased by the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1896 and ultimately abandoned by the PRR in 1951.
I was thinking, would it help if you had an extension pole with a rake head on it, or something like that? Kinda like what a power company would use to disconnect transformer's from the ground, because that would work for you if you came across another drain pipe clogged with debris, at least it's a thought,
There wasn't that many train cars behind the 4 engines, I've seen 75 or more cars on the tracks outside of New Milford Pennsylvania on the old Delaware Hudson & Lackawanna run between Scranton Pennsylvania and Binghamton New York, usually with 2 or 3 engines and over on the old Erie Railroad with 2 engines pulling 40 cars all being run by Norfolk Southern, and the culvert was very cool to go through with you
Hi Ghost 10
Beautiful culvert, looked really good with the light on it creating ghe shadows, really showed up the expert craftsmanship
NZ crew checking in
Hey man, that was cool of you to honk at the truck driver(good call ghost). That poor guy was probably getting tired or hypnotized by the road. You likely prevented a nasty accident and helped someone keep their job.
Well done for alerting the driver of that lorry!
What a fabulous video! I loved the granite tunnel and your comment about the skills that it took to build. Wow….nicely done.
Wow, thank you for taking us inside that amazing culvert. :)
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures
I love trains. There are so.e tracks near my house. Hear the horns a the time. What an amazing old culvert. How can they fix that? Awesome Postie, you guys stay warm and safe.
You’re an amazing young man, an old soul who really appreciates the big things and the tiny things. You’ve got a lot of nerve and adventure in your heart to do what you do and all the surprises that come with each adventurous task you apply yourself to.
You always show the best scenery it's so relaxing
Oh my goodness, how do I miss your new post? Love them, they are as therapeutic as you are 'seriously' Thanks mydear, have a great great day.
Love it when you show the trains. Thanks for another great video. 💖💫✌
Another AWESOME Experience!!! Thank YOU!
Appreciate his efforts guys give him thumbs up 👍🏻
Wow that was a long one post 10 thanks for sharing you’re doing a good job even if you can’t get the covers to go you always do a good job hugs have a good evening
no trains where I live, so nice to see and hear trains again, great memory
Thanks Post10. Love these vids
and nice to see Ghost10 too
Just want to let you know that I really like what you're doing
When I need to relax I just watch your videos, I don't know why but this is always satisfying
“Yes! I’m touching something.” Ladies and gentlemen, Post 10 has touched it so we don’t have to. Thank you 🙏
Try a laxative, works for clearing my clogged pipes every time .
A water jet is a culvert's laxative, works every time.
The dual view is fantastic!!
Thank you for the temperature unit conversion post!
Incredible video. Mother nature never looked so beautiful coming out from that culvert tunnel. Thank you for your time.
Love watching you problem solve. Great videos - thanks
Another great video. Many thanks. Pete (Manchester, UK).
Wow a multi video! Great filming and work by @ghost and @post. Thank you for sharing the joys and sights
Very interesting video!
Thanks for filming!!!
I wish I could go back in time I'd love a ride along!!!your fun!!!I love playing with currents...
Hey Post10, if you head back there again can you bring some plywood? I would have loved to see you plunger it.
Ghost 10. “Honk at him!!!” 😆
pretty cool adventure brother . that guy in the truck wanted to use his air bag as a pillow lol . hes lucky ghost ten had you honk the horn . be safe my friends bless ya both .
So... it isn't enough that I worry about you scrambling in and out of culverts in the middle of nowhere? Now, you're doing it at night?! Tsk, Tsk... Like you, I am facinated by trains of all sort. Can't imagine how exciting it would be to trek that trail. Keep up the good work. Do, please, be careful. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
Best videos to watch before bed time 😁
Nothing can stand up to Post 10 and his mighty Rake.
New rule: It would be cool if you would show the date stamp on the rails that you visit. Either way, love your videos!!!
I enjoy watching the evening train. That was awesome. TRAIN!!!!!!
That culvert is a piece of art and should be cared for.
Inside the tunel there was a few branches, you could check the deep by using them.
Who knew that watching a man unclog culverts with a rake could be so entertaining!
This was ridiculously beautiful
The shot of the train was amazing!
You can try passing a stiff long thick wire through the culvert from the outlet side. After the wire tip appears on the inlet side, you tie something to that tip and pull it back from the outlet side and hope it caught the debris in the middle and drag it all out
I love the northwestern part of Mass. It's so different from here in the islands area in the south east.
Love the video. My train of thoughts jump the tracks a lot
I got the chills watching the train pass. Loved it though.
Thanks again for another great video they are always welcome on my confuzer .I would like to make a suggestion...have you ever thought about having a threaded end on your rakes male and female??then you could extend them right through any culvert or at least half way .
