They were all very cool finds, but I especially love that you got to see our anniversary diesels 1983 and 2023 for the first time! My favorite trail find was the stepped side of the lock (or maybe dam). I'd seen it across the river from the train a bunch of times, but had no idea what it was.

I went down the lehigh river in the jim Thorpe area in 1980. I was with the boys from st. Gabes boy home. 20 juveniles. We were all court committed and this was part of reform program.
Excellent video JP 👍👍👍 i look forward to seeing thoes stone tunnels, and the CRR. Beautiful autumn PA scenery, and the trails are nice. I love the longer videos, that beef pasta dinner did look delicious, great buy.👍
The one bridge that had the felled tree blocking the entry was lovely. The tree should be removed to prevent further accumulation of tree & brush debris as well as future damage to the walls ... yet it is a lovely as I'd mentioned site.
Wow!! I thoroughly enjoyed this one! Really well done! Thanks for the slurred speech giggles at the end! 😅 I always enjoy your videos. I get to see all the things I miss so much, and this one even had trains!! 😊 Thanks again!
Loved the whole video but was really intrigued with the zig-zag support wall. I can't really get it in my head what it's purpose was. I know you said 2 rr lines crossed in that location but I guess I need a picture, ha ha. 😊🙂
I think it's kind of funny how some of the greatest finds are hidden in plain sight. Although it was really cold, what an amazing explore it was. The stonework of the lochs, culverts and spillway were absolutely amazing. I think it would be awesome to see a summer exploration of these places without the worry of your face going numb. It was also great to see the trains and the 40th anniversary locomotive. Thanks for bringing me along on the trip and will be waiting for the next invitation. Until then stay safe and God bless and I'll see you in the next video. Steve in Oklahoma
I enjoyed watching you suffer in the cold...lol.. Sorry it was so cold for you and the others. You did another awesome video. It is so much fun seeing you enjoy your rides and the things you find to show us. Your cheeks are so frozen you look like a chipmunk..lol
White Haven is just minutes from my cousins house. It's a cool town. As for CRR, I think it's for the Clinchfield Railroad. There's also a nice rail trail close to White Haven at Lehigh River (Rockport), I've been on it myself.
It is on the 1895 USGS Wilkes-Barre topo map as the Central Railroad of NJ, It was built in 1891 I think, mostly so the iron furnaces in Bellefonte and Nanticoke didn't have to pay the high rates on the Lehigh Valley RR. They ran three or more passenger trains a day also, but once the iron industry collapsed about 1910 they couldn't make it and closed in 1918. Also may have been known as the Central Railroad of PA in a futile attempt to avoid taxes.
Colebrookdale Railroad? For the CRR? Maybe? Probably wrong but I tried! What a find on those culverts that we already know you have to go back. Thank you for sharing this awesome video! 💙
That was a valiant effort to catch the 3:00 train! So close and yet so far! The Fall Foliage trains run much faster to make the 45 minute roundtrip happen, so once they get up to speed a typical eBike isn't going to be able to catch up. And gosh I'm still chuckling at your outro! I was working on the caboose and two open air cars that day, and was having similar issues by the end of the ride. The afternoon temps dropped fast, and I was getting pretty chilled before we even left Jim Thorpe for the 3:00 trip. I'm glad you had a mostly successful day despite the uncooperative weather and shortened daylight hours. I had seen the first culvert, the stepped lock/dam, and the bridge pillars from the train a number of times, but the rest was new to me. It was cool seeing the closeups of the stuff I'd only seen from afar too. The old bridge was the Lehigh Valley Railroad's Hayes Creek Branch which went to Sandy Run west of the river and hooked up to the current RBMN siding in Tannery on the east side. The old roadbed is now maintained as a hiking trail, and I'd totally love to see you explore it. I really enjoyed this one, and I'll look forward to seeing what Randy, Jake, and Becky filmed as well. Sorry I wasn't able to ride this time, but they very much needed my help on the train that day. We'll definitely ride again in the warmer weather!
Looks like you guys had a fun trip, even though it was a little on the cold side! The culverts and spillway steps are amazing! I know I have said this before, but the culverts remind me of old castles. The walls are incredible, and the archway openings look like castle doors and as you look through them, they look like they could be corridors in the old castles. I am always so amazed at the stone construction. Looking forward to you going back and exploring them. Your meal looked delicious, and it was fun to see some trains and hear the horn action. I love the 40th anniversary locomotives. Perfect music for your video and photomontage and your photos are excellent! You did great with your outro even though you were freezing, and it was an awesome adventure! Wonderful video JP, thank you! 😊💙
31 degrees with the wind in your face ..yikes ! You always push through ...and bring us awesome adventures ..So glad the wonderful old stone stacked structures weren't destroyed like the Dunmore Dam area and new generations can enjoy their beauty . Fun seeing Randy , Becky and Jake with you ...looked like a really fun day . Wish the weather had been nicer for you and your face didn't freeze . At least you won't have that problem if you go back in the Spring ....Thank you for another great video .👍💙
Great video JP! I live in New Hampshire and 2 Christmases ago my family rented a vacation home in Mount Pocono. When we were there, based off watching your videos, I took my family to Jim Thorpe, the Turn Hole Tunnel and utilized the Rockport access of Lehigh Gorge State Park. Thank you for these wonderful videos showing the beauty of the area where you live!
Great adventure with friends! Loved seeing another Buttermilk Falls and a few really nice culverts with beautiful arches! I know you'll be back in warmer weather to explore those, Jay!😊 Amazing stonework all around the spillway and lock canals. Some lovely nature's carpet and lush ferns really popped against the fallen leaves. There's something to be said for Fall explorations, as you said, because you can find points of interest much easier. So true! Awesome you got to ride the train and see at least three more, too. Loved the new purply-blue paint color on the NRFF. I hope Jaime watches your video -- you almost made it! Thanks for bringing us along!💙💙💙
Nice video, JP. I especially enjoyed all the stone work and the beautiful culverts. Looking forward to when you walk through them next summer. Thank you and happy thanksgiving to you and the family! ……🌝
Good to see you froze your face off for our entertainment 🤣 I almost thought this was the video you did about a year ago with the rail and bike adventure! Glad to see it was a new one. Much fewer people here this time! Looks like Gary found everything interesting today. Jim Thorpe did a great job on this area thru the years. Back in the early 80's it was a dying town. Could have bought just about any real estate dirt cheap back then. But glad it turned into a great tourist friendly township. Kinda reminds me of New Hope but a much better bargain and more bike friendly. Onward to the next adventure ✌️
I am so glad I could watch this from home. Anything under 65 is freezing to me. LOL Loved all of it. The surprise culvert was amazing. Looking forward to you returning and checking it out. Maybe in the spring before all of the foliage is fully out? Thanks everyone for enduring the freezing cold to show us some amazing finds and views. You're all much braver than me.
Jay, The Railroad Bridge must have been an awesome sight with trains crossing it , but the Canal still is. So much work to construct it and "only" two people died. We often forget how extra dangerous it was before we had so many powerful machines to replace the hand and shovel labor. One of my wife's ancestors came over from Germany and was a laborer on the Panama Canal! I hope you and your family had a great Thanksgiving! Cheers, Rik Spector
The Rockport Tunnel is interesting. Before that was dug, the trains had to go around the end of Summer Mountain and make a 333 deg curve at a walking pace. The old right of way is still there, but they supposedly abandoned it in 1884 as soon as the tunnel was operational! (However, the tracks still show up on the 1922 Muanch Chunk Quadrangle USGS Topo maps. ) Probably this is the bike trail now.
Hello JP great video like always really great finds thank you for taking us along I hope you got really warmed up soon as you got in the car until next time stay safe take care love from upstate New York🚞🚲❤😊
I enjoyed all of it very pretty there !! And yes please come back in warmer weather and check out that stone culvert ...this was a very neat area !! And lunch looked AWESOME !! 👍👍
That was a great adventure, beautifully filmed! Thanks for taking the time and for bringing along such pleasant companions. I look forward to your future treks! - Cathy in Oregon
Been to Jim Thorpe area in PA very steep hills bet the train scenery is outstanding in Fall when the leaves change color. My most memorable experience was the Church. The windows were so beautiful and the alter you felt the presence of God.
Sorry you missed the train 🚉 !!Thanks for another great adventure JP - love learning about your beautiful state which unfortunately I didn't get to visit. Looking forward to the next explore and Happy Thanksgiving to all your side of the pond !! Gill 🇬🇧
Thank you so much for your adventures to let us see the things that we normally don't get to see👍 I unable to travel like I used to 😪right now I'm confined in a hospital bed at my apt. I happened to came on your channel to see what it was about, and I enjoy everything you have shown us, thank you very much. There's sooo. much to see and it goes to show how much the water is receding. I have wondered what the future holds has for the future?? Were was water in some areas anyone can walk through it, it amazed me 😳😳!!!! Keep traveling and be safe out there and thank you for taking us along with you 👍👌💙
I liked that large lock with the spillway, would love to find some pics of the body of water that must have created behind it... kind of hard to imagine, but it must have been a large reservoir
yet another great explore/ride...it had to be cold riding the bikes. I have to wonder what the wind chill was while you were riding. it sure was fun tagging along take care
Another fantastic ride a long! According to an 1891 survey, the first culvert carried the C.R.R. of N.J. (C.R.R. being the Central RailRoad. It was later shortened to Central of New Jersey). The second culvert was in a community called Leslie Run, which in 1922 consisted of 5 structures (2 on the west side of the river and 3 on the east side, with a foot bridge over the river). The foundation you found is on the south side of the creek. Their appears to be an even larger foundation on the north side of the creek. I can give you the gps coordinates if you want to check it out when you go back? Thanks for taking us along!
That trail is going to be absolutely gorgeous come spring/summer! Reminds me of when I was a kid growing up near both the Letchworth Park in Mt. Morris, and the other park (I can't remember the name) in Dansville, NY. Are you by any chance from either NY or PA? I loved the coverage you did on Rochester, NY (I was born in Canandaigua NY, and my hubby in Rochester, a LOOOOOONG time ago!). We live in SE Pennsylvania, and you have done some great coverage on beautiful old houses that are actually in our area here. Thank you so much! As usual, I love following along with you on your trips! Have a nice Thanksgiving!
Great vid J.P. love the stone work how big and expansive and accurate the work is for that era. I also wonder where did they get all the stone, when you look at all you showed in the vid that is a Lot of stone..
Dont need to ever ask me, yes return to see where that old Leighy tracks goes. This video is a year old so you may have returned to check this old track, catching up to all your train track adventures 😊
Great video. I absolutely love the old architecture. I'm terrified of trains ( I blame my past life..ha ha) but in 2024, I plan to find one for a short trip. Any to recommend (probably out of Harrisburg since I'min York) ?
I think that if the people that constructed all this could see how well their work has stood up against the ravages of time they would be quite pleased.
This looks so cool! I would love an E-bike. I wish I lived in PA, there are sooo many trails and it would be so nice to hike on them but an E-bike would be even better. Can you pull a trailer with a kayak on it on one?😂
Correct, but that didn't operate in White Haven Pennsylvania. We believe the CRR is a different abbreviation for Central Railroad of NJ normally known as CNJ.
Although things didn't end how I wanted them to, we still made some great new discoveries. Which was your favorite?
They were all very cool finds, but I especially love that you got to see our anniversary diesels 1983 and 2023 for the first time! My favorite trail find was the stepped side of the lock (or maybe dam). I'd seen it across the river from the train a bunch of times, but had no idea what it was.

What wonderful places you found plus the waterfall so beautiful JPV . Thanks for taking us on your journeys .
show us the coal mine..
seeing all your videos makes me miss home more[berks county pa]left Pennsylvaina in 1998 im now 41 years old.
I love your still shots, too. They're beautiful.
Beautiful trip
The first part all I can think for CRR is Country Ridge River 😂
Yes jay go back another time great adventure
Happy Thanksgiving 😊
I went down the lehigh river in the jim Thorpe area in 1980. I was with the boys from st. Gabes boy home. 20 juveniles. We were all court committed and this was part of reform program.
Did the reform take?
I enjoyed seeing the canal structures. So much work done with minimal technology.
Excellent video JP 👍👍👍 i look forward to seeing thoes stone tunnels, and the CRR. Beautiful autumn PA scenery, and the trails are nice. I love the longer videos, that beef pasta dinner did look delicious, great buy.👍
Thanks! It was a day full of adventure.
There's so much old beautiful stonework in PA just hidden away.
You're correct
The one bridge that had the felled tree blocking the entry was lovely. The tree should be removed to prevent further accumulation of tree & brush debris as well as future damage to the walls ... yet it is a lovely as I'd mentioned site.

Another great day exploring with you. Thanks for the invite and being our tour guide. My video will be out next Monday 11-27-23.
I'll look forwards to seeing your video too, Randy! Sorry I didn't get to see you that day, but hopefully we'll be catching up on things next month.
Was glad you Jake & Becky were part of it. Wish we had more daylight and warmer temps, but I still enjoyed the day.
Old bridges.. abuntments, and the things you are calling columns= piers 😊
👍🏽
Impressive stone work and having it still standing after all these years, good find jp
Wow. That’s amazing times on fill lock 28 and pass thru
Your videos introduced me to urban exploration…God bless you! ❤❤❤
Beautiful trip 😊
Thanks for taking me along, Jay

I'm wondering if that stonework near the culvert was a bridge for the towpath.
That same thought came to mind
White Haven is just minutes from my cousins house. It's a cool town. As for CRR, I think it's for the Clinchfield Railroad. There's also a nice rail trail close to White Haven at Lehigh River (Rockport), I've been on it myself.
That railroad name came up in my searches, but doesn't appear to be from this area.
@@JPVideos81 I looked it up and I Agee. They ran through Ohio.

@@JPVideos81 cool! Looking forward to it too.
@@JPVideos81what brand/model ebike do you have?
Amazing places you find, Thanks for filming your explores.
My pleasure
I really need to ride that Jim Thorpe Train someday. Looks like a nice ride!
You won't be disappointed

I love how much neat old history is found everywhere in Pennsylvania! Nearly nothing like it out here in California
There's no shortage of it over here.
Mid ground for me. Love to join y’all. New e bike here. !!
Nice. What kind?
@@JPVideos81 Jasion
really want to see that waterfall pool by flying your drone....Adventure awesome as always...
Hope to get that footage in the spring.
My first I saw that you did was Lakemont Park . Still a favorite! Your channel hs really grown.
Thanks
Oh that’s awesome can take train all the way to white haven. Nice and ride back is so cool. Gonna do this soon.
I recommend doing it
Central Railroad of Pennsylvania (1891-1918) 🤔 I think...
That seems like the likelist choice for those letters.
After looking at a couple of maps... Central Railroad is right... But of NJ... not PA
Thanks for taking us with you. It was fun. Waiting for more adventures . God Bless
Great video JP! I live in New Hampshire and 2 Christmases ago my family rented a vacation home in Mount Pocono.

Jp you should come back in the summer you find good places to see
I've visited this area several times in the warmer months, but I'll be back to explore the LV railbed.
I really enjoyed this adventure with you and the bikers. Sorry you missed your train must have been really cold going bacl.
Great adventure with friends! Loved seeing another Buttermilk Falls and a few really nice culverts with beautiful arches! I know you'll be back in warmer weather to explore those, Jay!😊 Amazing stonework all around the spillway and lock canals.

😊💙
Amazing stone work. Comparable to pyramids.
Absolutely beautiful looking picture of the fall season in Pennsylvania ..
My favorites when you all were climbing and exploring around the high old Bridge parts and while you were eating seeing the two trains go by.
Yes return in the future, as exploration is fun! Great video today. God Bless.
Thank you for taking me along on this awesome cold adventure!! I hope you finally warmed up!! Stay safe!❤
I've finally thawed out 😅
Fun video JP! I love the trains. Sorry it was so cold for you all. ❤
Awesome adventure. I loved the canal lock. Never saw that before. Thank you for filming.❤
I was born , and bred in Woodland ,Maine,we had C&R railroad up there

I am jealous! Train +bike+culverts and locks=my kind of awesome adventure! Definitely worth getting a little chilly for, looks like! Thanks!

Awesome video, we should come back in the warmer weather and get a better look at this place.
I'm loving of the addition of the meal reviews. Keep up the great work.
Glad to hear that. The camp meals come in handy for the lengthy bike rides.
Thank you for taking us with and freezing for us lol

Another enjoyable video.
I enjoyed all of it very pretty there !! And yes please come back in warmer weather and check out that stone culvert ...this was a very neat area !! And lunch looked AWESOME !! 👍👍
Lunch was very tasty.
16:02 would love to see more of where this abandoned rail bed goes Jp! Another great video! 👍👍👍
I'm hoping to do a spring time trek of that old rail line.
That was a great adventure, beautifully filmed! Thanks for taking the time and for bringing along such pleasant companions. I look forward to your future treks! - Cathy in Oregon

confined in a hospital bed at my apt. I happened
to came on your channel to see what it was about,

very much. There's sooo. much to see and it goes to
show how much the water is receding. I have wondered
what the future holds has for the future?? Were was water
in some areas anyone can walk through it, it amazed me 😳😳!!!!
Keep traveling and be safe out there and thank you for taking us
along with you 👍👌💙
Thanks for the kind words. Glad I can provide some enjoyable content for you to enjoy.
Great video as always JP. I looked up CRR after seeing the culvert at 7:53 in your video. CRR stands for Clinchfield Railroad.
-Hayden
Yes, but that line didnt operate in Pennsylvania. Several viewers confirmed it was for Central Railroad of NJ
Jp hiding that’s whiskey in your pocket
I liked that large lock with the spillway, would love to find some pics of the body of water that must have created behind it... kind of hard to imagine, but it must have been a large reservoir
LVRR shot out to coal regions along that area. Nice video enjoy the RR history.
💙 Loved this, JP! Did the LGSR back in July after seeing your video. Enjoyed every minute. Thanks for sharing
Awesome! Thank you!
yet another great explore/ride...it had to be cold riding the bikes. I have to wonder what the wind chill was while you were riding. it sure was fun tagging along take care
Felt like in the teens towards the end. Was worth it though.
That bridge abutment was the Lehigh valley hays creek branch.
I later found that out from my friend Jamie. I believe it was a 12 mile section.
You should definitely go back in spring time to see where the rail line goes also another amzing vide💙
That's the plan!
Another nice area.
Cool video. We have somthing similar by me in Cuyahoga valley national park., its pretty fun.
💙 ❤
You're poor face and hands. Burrrr... looks like it was worth it though. Thanks for sharing your adventures with all of us.
Awsome video jp thanks for sharing this to us also happy holiday and happy thanksgiving buddy.
Same to you
Such a great explore loved the surprises in the video they were beautiful 😊😊
Would of liked warmer temps, but atleast it wasn't raining. Keep on stalking! 😄 jk
Of course always gotta stalk the bestie So I know what explores I want to check out when I come out there 🥰🥰🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I plan on it!
That trail is going to be absolutely gorgeous come spring/summer! Reminds me of when I was a kid growing up near both the Letchworth Park in Mt. Morris, and the other park (I can't remember the name) in Dansville, NY. Are you by any chance from either NY or PA? I loved the coverage you did on Rochester, NY (I was born in Canandaigua NY, and my hubby in Rochester, a LOOOOOONG time ago!). We live in SE Pennsylvania, and you have done some great coverage on beautiful old houses that are actually in our area here. Thank you so much! As usual, I love following along with you on your trips! Have a nice Thanksgiving!

Oh,and the Reading railroad
Great vid J.P. love the stone work how big and expansive and accurate the work is for that era. I also wonder where did they get all the stone, when you look at all you showed in the vid that is a Lot of stone..
Must have been quarried somewhere local. Impressive craftsmanship.
Dont need to ever ask me, yes return to see where that old Leighy tracks goes. This video is a year old so you may have returned to check this old track, catching up to all your train track adventures 😊
I wonder if those culvert crr letters were Clinchfield Railroad.
Great video. I absolutely love the old architecture. I'm terrified of trains ( I blame my past life..ha ha) but in 2024, I plan to find one for a short trip. Any to recommend (probably out of Harrisburg since I'min York) ?
Amtrak travels daily east & west from the Harrisburg station. For leisurely rides I'd recommend Strasburg or R&N.
Great video! Would love to do that.😊
I think that if the people that constructed all this could see how well their work has stood up against the ravages of time they would be quite pleased.
Nice ride! Lock 24 was in excellent condition. You all definitely looked cold 🥶 but also looked happy for the day. Have a Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🤗
It was remarkable how preserved it is and that a spillway is still there as well. The cold was temporary, but the memories last forever.
This looks so cool! I would love an E-bike. I wish I lived in PA, there are sooo many trails and it would be so nice to hike on them but an E-bike would be even better. Can you pull a trailer with a kayak on it on one?😂
You'd never run out of trails to explore with an ebike. Some can pull small trailers which can be useful.
Clinchfield railroad (crr) was an operating company for Carolina, clinchfield and Ohio railroad (cco)
Correct, but that didn't operate in White Haven Pennsylvania. We believe the CRR is a different abbreviation for Central Railroad of NJ normally known as CNJ.
