You cannot imagine how much I enjoy your flicks . Man I am 73 this month and living in a town with nothing but flat land farming surrounding, literally no adventuring, also no car to go from place to place. When I am with you in your outings I am there it is like I am on a trip . Thanks man you are a great dude, appreciate you more than you could ever know.
@@DINKY77142 hey I hear ya in that. Think about this. It’s the best of both worlds. He’s getting paid pretty well by views and not costing us tax dollars. If we all found a niche where we could do our community”s work and still be able to get by ourselves we could shrink our government and taxes down to a bare minimum as it was designed to be. I love it. No doubt he’s earning it.
Yeah even the bugs 🐛 and ticks won’t mind being disturbed, they be like it’s ok only Post10 trampling thru , legend of the undergrowth culverts and ice tunnels 🇬🇧👍🏻🇬🇧😂
I'd you like the qualities of this channel you might enjoy shiey, he doesn't ask for subs, isn't annoying, explores abandoned places and does alot of train surfing.
Surprised he forgot about ice in the first tunnel, it's still cold enough for ice piles that haven't melted by now, no Sun and lower basin; ice and snow take longer to melt, especially in mines
He says earlier that he is past the spring thaw and therefore the risk of collapse, but that ice says otherwise. It looks like he is right in collapse season to me!
3:19 looks like a VW type 1 pancake engine missing two of the cylinders. 3:35 I think that could be a Volkswagen Thing / Type 181, which would explain the VW pancake engine.
That's definitely an old VW engine, but I think 3:35 is an upside down bus. See the ribs in the floor pan? That's what a VW bus looks like underneath. The second car is a 70's super beetle. You can tell by the curved windshield frame and plastic dash trim. 5:15 is the back half of the chassis with the rear torsion spring and transmission fork, and 5:20 is the front half of the same chassis.
@@dunebuggymike ... agree on most of the VW parts but the yellow body strikes me more as the bottom side of a Jeep or step-side pick up bed. The brackets for the steps are wrong for a VW bus. Kinda makes me wonder how they got the parts that far into the woods, unless they drove down the tracks. (knowing the schedule, and it's a weekly freight line) I don't live all that far away from there.
"Hellooooo, this is Newtown Police Department." "Hi, this is Post 10. Hitting the train tunnels today." "Are you reeeeaaally Post 10? If so, we have reports of clogged culverts all over town." "I'm on it, Sargeant!"
Knowing how Post never wears gloves, no matter how cold, when he said you couldn't get to the tunnel without wearing boots, I was expecting to see him wearing sandals. Happy Easter, Post!
I love these adventures, the second tunnel is beautiful the way it's carved out of the rock shows the colours and textures, Thanks for sharing, best wishes from England
Hey Post. I just wanted to say I find your videos really relaxing and interesting. Your knowledge about civil engineering and its relationship with the natural world is impressive and has given me a new appreciation of things I see everyday but never really thought about.
Interesting question! Small Mammals have been around for 100 million years . Plants evolve chemicals defenses in response to predators. And they’ve been preyed on since the Silurian
Been in a few abandoned train tunnels myself...they are amazing! Strange that the last tunnel didn't have any structural support...bricking or metal on the ceiling. Thanks for taking one cool wade for the Post 10 team! 😊 It was worth it!
I really love how you can be so responsible and mature by doing research and contacting the police etc, but also playful and childlike, messing around in the tunnel. It's very endearing and one of reasons I think a lot of people respond to your videos - you're very natural and that is very refreshing these days.
This was an absolutely amazing voyage of tunnel routes. I enjoy the history of things we never knew about, especially the old railroad lines. Thanks Post 10. Have an enjoyable weekend and stay safe.
The heavily layered rock (I want to say it's sedimentary) is probably especially prone to shearing loose under the influence of freeze thaw cycles. That tunnel was probably a maintenance headache.
The two cylinder engine appears to be part of an air cooled VW engine. At the beginning of the first tunnel, it looks like someone chopped up a VW bug.
Fascinating and well delivered, like most of your videos. Both your approach to the presenting the videos and the contents should theoretically make them terrible to watch, but quite the opposite is true, you’re engaging and make a normally dull subject interesting. Well done, from a viewer in the U.K.
I am shocked that a guy as seemingly prepared for anything, and who lives to fiddle around in the water does not have a single pair of extra socks or a change of clothes. Post10 keepin’ it real for the fans. Love this channel.
I was wondering why this hadn't been a part of the rails to trails program and then you showed the second tunnel and I think that's part of why it hasn't--it's so close in proximity I bet it'd be too risky to allow many people near for safety reasons. CT has a lot of walking paths that used to be railways though. When I lived there as a kid I used to love biking down the one near my house.
The first tunnel could be made into a trail east since it doesn't exit onto active tracks but the other is a danger and would need millions to stabilize
"We better just walk on through... Already wet... This is great!". What a great philosophy on life. I have been watching post 10 for years. Great videos my friend. Thank you for posting.
@@wildomegamusic ... these are not the only train tunnels in Newtown. If you spend some time wandering the back roads and using Goggle Earth you will find the others. Recalling they are on the other side of town from these.
@@wildomegamusic ... was just going to suggest asking the questions at the Danbury Rail Museum. I'm sure someone there knows where they are or might even show you a map. (overlaid with today's roads)
@3:06 The engine is from a 1960 or later VW bug or bus. It is a four-cylinder you’re only seeing 1/2. At @5:15 That’s a VW bug chassis. The rear portion. @5:30 that’s the front of it.
It’s the handicapped diver dude again, I just want to say thank you for these adventure videos. You do a very good job narrating as you walk along, that really helps keep people interested and also teaches us some history. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I look forward to your next video.
This guy is amazing exploring anywhere he can reach that no one else will dare to. Fascinating stuff and very brave to walk thru that second tunnel with rock falls and flood water.
Post 10. The voice of the "Unsung Engineer" I have a request, when you unclog a culvert.... can you place another camera on the exit? I would love to see the footage of a small trickle of water suddenly having mud and logs flow past.,, and then the rush of water as you clear it. If you (@post10 are not confident at mixing and editing film, I bet there is one of your fans that can do the job with you.
Love the already wet going through!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am right there with you what a great adventure!! you describe so well!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've said it before, I'll say it again, any time you are working around water, have a complete change of dry clothes! Hope you didn't have any ticks. I was thinking that you meant Antique Rail Cars in the tunnels, that would have been cool.
I like how he narrates as he's doing the video opposed to filling in the narration after-the-fact... Really makes you feel like you're there right along with him. Then getting the same exciting feeling when the whirlpool comes around. I'm glad I subscribe to this channel✔ Much respect to you Post 10 From, Katrinka San Francisco Bay Area
You certainly like your little adventures, and a big thank you for taking us along for the experience, I swear I felt that cold water when it topped your boots 👢🥶
Enjoyed it very much. A special interest I have, vicariously: I used to hike around a lot. But starting in 2011 I've become Disabled w/ multiple soft tissue injury conditions. I can and do still walk around, am active, etc, but only for a short time/distance.
Once you commit you commit! I think I'd go all the way through too. Thankfully it wasn't waist high. Nobody likes to dip the boys in freezing cold water!!

When he was doing his winter videos, I got feelings of The Long Dark.
The cuts where a worker could go to avoid the train are called refuges,
He said they were to avoid the walls. I think he meant trains.
Also called a safety niche.
Also manholes.

I said “Whoa!!” When he dumped all the water out of his boots! Crazy
Your enthusiasm is contagious and your commentary is always interesting. Thank you! 🌻

Hey Post. I just wanted to say I find your videos really relaxing and interesting. Your knowledge about civil engineering and its relationship with the natural world is impressive and has given me a new appreciation of things I see everyday but never really thought about.
I absolutely love these abandoned building videos. Keep em coming!
I know this might sound kind of strange .... but I would love to do an eco-study of the oldest tunnel in midsummer.
Skunk cabbage has an interesting defense mechanism that emulates the smell of a skunk to keep small animals from eating them.
Which evolved first, the plant or the animal?
Interesting question! Small Mammals have been around for 100 million years . Plants evolve chemicals defenses in response to predators. And they’ve been preyed on since the Silurian
The old rock tunnel looked awesome, great how the rail ties are still there
If Pennywise actually existed.....

We all get wet socks down here.

May You And Your Family Always Be Blessed! 🙏🏽
Happy Easter 🐇 May you and your family be blessed 🙏also Kind Sir
Thank you.
Ok
Happy Easter 🐰 Post 10 thanks for taking us on your adventures amazing as always
Its amazing how much abandoned things are out there and completely forgotten about
You know it a Good Friday when Post 10 does a video exploring more abandoned places
Haha
nice pun
Hi great video. Quick question where's your dog.
Wow, the water was so crystal clear! Another amazing place discovered :-) good evening from Belgium 🇧🇪

A line of branded rakes and high viz vests would be nice too.
He does haver tshirts

Do you have children? You remind me of a dad educating his kids with facts and stories of their surroundings 😊 something my dad did with me. Love it 💙
Depending on what generation watches this , some of them won’t know what a VCR is lol great video man
“Very Classic Recorder”
Your commentary never gets tiring, keep on spouting those facts!
I'm a huge railfan, thanks for visiting these tunnels. That rock tunnel has some amazing looking rock features. The rock grain is at a steep angle.
The heavily layered rock (I want to say it's sedimentary) is probably especially prone to shearing loose under the influence of freeze thaw cycles. That tunnel was probably a maintenance headache.
OMG! You were only an hour away from me! I'm in CT looking after my mom right now. Nice to see you in CT. ☺
Post 10, rural explorer, i like that!
i went on a hike along the river behind my farm and found a bunch of road signs and posts that were taken out while snowplowing
