    Thanks for going into these places for us! Like a book except in vivid color, it's an adventure I can enjoy from my armchair. Thanks to you I get the experience with none of the risk.
    Although the depot is abandoned and run down, it was as you've described an important part of history in its day. As for your exploration of it I wish you'd been able to go into the upper floors (just to satisfy my curiosity) but from your video I didn't see any way up there. It would likely be outrageously risky too due to heights, dogs, irate tenants, and who knows what else? I very much appreciate what you were able to show.
    If I may ask a favor, the camera movement at times was just a bit too fast for my 70 year-old eyes and brain to track and I wish you'd pan a little slower. Yes, if I really want to see something you captured in a spin I know I can slow down the playback. Like I said, a favor, not a complaint.

      Thank you for watching! I'll keep that in mind for the future. Be aware that the next ten or so videos I will be uploading have already been filmed, between Canada and this trip I just got back from I have a lot to edit. I wanted to go upstairs, but the only way up as far as I am aware was at both ends, both of which had people living in them. Thank you for the feedback, stay tuned for more!

    That guys lived there for over 5 years, i went back there the other day and that place has over 200 people living inside it now. A ladder can get you to the second floor and then theres steps

      Don't worry he cool and will let you inside as long as you are respectful. Will probably ask if your there to help feed the homeless. If you want to guarantee hospitality come with some water and food.

    The whole area looks Abandon

      Very true. You may be able to see it in the drone shots, but behind the depot there are two caved in buildings and a bunch of industrial buildings that are boarded up with "for sale" signs. east St. Louis is even worse, which you'll be able to see when I upload the videos of the abandoned Spivey skyscraper and abandoned Majestic Theater. Thank you for watching!
