I think the lake used to be the Quarry pit and the carts on the ramps would go down into the pit where they'd load the rock into the carts and then winch them back up to where the rock could then be dumped into the crusher.
3:39 to 3:47 At this point, the sound of what must have been a train passing close to the building, made it sound as if the 'rock crusher' was back in operation! 🪨🔨Back from the dead 💀
Pretty amazing it’s still there. I suppose the flooded quarry makes repurposing the area difficult, but still, a structure that big still standing is cool. Glad you could get in and show us around. Old industrial works are fascinating. Keep the adventures coming!
The two tracks leading to the river more than likely had carts on them to haul the rock up from a barge or boat on the river for processing. Neat place.
I found y’all when I first moved to SoCal and loved that you explored places around CA but I love that you’re venturing out to other states now. It keeps it fresh and new. As usual another interesting video. 😊 PS. My Sunday nights are not the same without your adventures through Hyrule.
Very interesting tour. I'd be a bit worried about climbing around and snagging myself on some piece of rusty metal, but it looks like you made it through unscathed. On to the next adventure!
Very cool. I live about 25 minutes from there. That lake was once the rock quarry that those tracks were coming up from. That would be my minimally educated guess.
1850's? Diamond plate comes along later than that. With the riveted steel and corrugated, more like 1910's 0r 1920's. Pre-civil war does not have formed concrete.
wow simply amazing , glad you guys are back i have enjoyed your california adventures now you're exploring Chicago illinois one of my favorite places !
I live in the area and I never knew about the rock crushing tower. You are both much more adventurous than us. And we love Joliet Prison. This totally would be cool for a filming location. Always discovering new place because of you guys.

My thoughts exactly.

Kristin!! We miss you and the kitties! Hope all is well. 🤗
The name on that crusher is Allis Chalmers. Based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Same company that built the generators in the Hoover Dam.
The city was West Allis, in Milwaukee county.
Very interesting tour. I'd be a bit worried about climbing around and snagging myself on some piece of rusty metal, but it looks like you made it through unscathed. On to the next adventure!
Great job going clean cut! Man bun is no good. Lol
This is amazing. I love to explore old abandoned buildings.
I've seen a ton of these type of videos and I really appreciate your style of fun, to the point with great filming and editing! Cool find as well :)
Amazing old things just laying around waiting to be found and explored. Nice job again and stay safe.

We have another new episode coming this Saturday! Hope to see you there. 😊
I wonder how many explorers perish climbing up in these shaky buildings?
You two find cool stuff to investigate
What’s great video! You are both so brave! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Peggy!
That building is not that old
Very cool! 👍👍!
Thanks!

I love these specific adventures from you and Drew, be careful, my best always ✌🏻🫶🏻 💜💜
And yet so close to Wisconsin where I am
I was just there October of 23. Got me wanting to go back!
I'm looking for this place. I'm not far from it
@@aluranthrope Google "Joliet Prison" and then about 400-500' NE between the RR and Louis Ray Parkway
can u send loco
Pretty cool!
Cool find!
That's an Allis Chalmers crusher. Allis Chalmers manufactured a lot of this type of machinery.
Had a party in that building in nineteen seventy four.
Love your channel.
Thank you!
Wow. Amazing 😊
Good one. Did you see any ghosts 👻
No ghosts, but a lot of awesome remnants of the building!
That building is sketchy AF. lol Thanks for exploring it for us
Definitely some tricky parts of the building. 😅 Thanks for watching!
A Cone crusher !
Be cool to drain the quarry, probably junk down there tago rummage through. Love big abandoned places. I would marry them.
Wow lovely video
Didnt the prisoners break rocks with sludge hammers?
I hope that no one got poison ivy 🌱
We didn't! We did see some patches of it around the outside, but made sure to avoid them at all cost. 😊
