I painted 3 Gemini capsules on the side of the stacks because we recovered 3 of them wonder if they are still there

The clock is ticking to save and preserve the train sheds. The sheds are deteriorating to the point where they will have to be demolished. Every effort must be made to seek funding to pay for the restoration. The folks who administer Liberty State Park are not interested in the Railroad History, just the ecological green effort to make the park a natural setting. This Railroad, the CRRofNJ, was responsible for the economic development of New Jersey and that cannot and should not be forgotten. Shame on these administrators.

Lawrence Taylor and TB made bill. Genius yea right

Very well done. Thank you for the tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation of parts one, two, and three of Camp Toccoa and the Toccoa Military Museum. These are the first videos of Running Down... What? and my only drawback is the background music with the loud base sounds. I had to turn some of the presentation off to enjoy what you were presenting. Keep up the good work, but PLEASE control the background music better.

"Promo SM"

we live n new york and were never there !! you believe it?😆

man , thats a lot of chow.

Cool video

What about Wags??

a great carrier for sure.

The station is a national treasure in an exceptional and one-of-a-kind location not far from Ellis Island. A beautiful architectural landmark with a historical connection to Ellis Island and millions of immigrants. I used to play down there as a kid not long after the station closed. I remember dilapidated rail yards and derelict warehouses before Liberty State Park was developed. I also remember sitting on the shoreline near the station during the huge fireworks display and Operation Sail for the Statue of Liberty centennial celebration in 1986.

we visit the intrepid often. thanks for the video.😁

Thanks for sharing this! My father served in E Co. of the 517th parachute infantry regiment. The 517th was initially attached to the 17th Airborne Division. They, were later detached and, along with the 460th parachute field artillery battalion and the 596th parachute combat engineer company, became the 517th Parachute Regimental Combat Team, an independent unit. Essentially, they were “firemen” going wherever higher headquarters needed help and often thrown into the line at the behest of some some division commander who didn’t want to sacrifice his own troops to some very tough fighting. The 517th was later attached to the 13th Airborne Division, a late comer to the European Theatre which saw no combat. I had the chance to visit Camp Toccoa in 2005 before any of the historical efforts were launched. It’s time for another visit.

wow, been there many time and didn't know some of this stuff. thanks.

What, no video of a trip up the hill?

Far too much Yadda Yadda Yadda. Any and all interest is quickly lost while waiting for something too happen.

visit there often, pretty cool.

The walls may be thin on a C-47 but they are very strong. The structure of the C-47 / DC-3 has never failed in flight. However, they ain't bullet proof.

I lived in Toccoa for a while & lived in an apartment complex that was built for officers with family. My daughter was born while living there; she's 43yo now. When living in Toccoa, the original locals talked of the soldiers coming into town with great displeasure. That would have been approximately 35-40 years after the fact. As for living in Toccoa in the late 70s, early 80s, it was a POS.

very cool.

Ok… so interesting thing… I recently learned William penn was only in the colonies for 4 years… bc he refused to give citizens to the Brit’s war with the French in the north… That said… there is a pattern… influx of immigrants then massive scale war on this soil.

cool history.

Hey man awesome video and history. I subbed. Good luck with the channel, I’ll be following a long!

very cool

Love to go there.

Thanks for sharing the history. I am one of the volunteers at the Currahee Military Museum and at Camp Toccoa. I have worked on the first two barracks and the C-47. It is an amazing legacy to preserve. I am honored to be a small part of maintaining the history of the Original Toccoa Men. CURRAHEE!

My grandfather lived in Walhalla SC not far from there he signed up a few days after DEC 7 Army air core but they shipped him to Biloxi Mississippi and he worked on planes until 43 then he went to California I can't remember where but he worked on planes the whole war After the war boewing offered him a job but he came back home and lived a simple man's life

Great video. I visited a year or so past, recovering from a broken foot so I didn’t run currahee lol. Great respect for those who did.

Thanks for part 2.. I’m glad you talked about letters and notes they found in the walls of the stable….

Thank you for posting your tours. My parents live in Toccoa and I’ve been to the museum and Currahee and run the fall race up and down the mountain (very hard) My father (when he was alive) donated a old family WWII tommy gun to the museum (maybe it was the one you filmed here??). Last time I was there they didn’t have the airplane or the barracks built yet. I’ll check them out on my upcoming Toccoa visit. Thanks for this!

Heck of a place. Thanks for helping to share what the people at Toccoa are doing to preserve history.

Wow this is awesome! So cool that you can sleep in an actual bunk as the Airborne soldiers do.

Thanks but way too much background music.

Col. Sink turned down 2 promotions to stay with the 506th!

Revisiting the site: Most likely the reason the headquarters building was never taken down was that it was built of concrete blocks. It was the first building and needed to be more structurally sound to protect things of importance that were kept there the same as a bank vault would.

Yt recommended a small history channel after several hours of auto playing historical videos? Intriguing…subscribed for curiosity

looking forward to it.

awesome content very help full. if you want to grow your youtube channel I'm helping you chack your Instagram DM.

Thank you so much for posting your videos. I came across your site and subscribed earlier today. The biggest draw for me is because Stephen Ambrose wrote the Band of Brothers book which brought forth the series. Using the information, and having the actual men telling parts of it in the series, brought it to life and not just a fictional book. You can feel the danger these men went through and the hard training taking making them the most honored men in the war. I have been a Georgia native for over 76 years and the husband of my cousin being in the 101st made it more dramatic and believable. If it were not for these brave men and others like them the world could be much different today. Most likely the only reason the Regimental HQ building was never torn down was that it was built with cement blocks instead of wood. Now to check out other episodes of yours...... I'm gonna be here for a while watching them.

Great perspective!

Outstanding, thank you !

cool, things i did not know.

great video. there is a ww2 observation tower in a neighborhood near there. also some lucky person has an observation tower attached to the house from ww2 on what is called boars head near hampton beach N.H.

I like jumping off the navyard steps for a nice dip in the summa..just watch out for the water rats..lol

What is the song at the beginning of the video? It fits the mood

back in the 70s i used to work there after the military! when i was in my 20s

It’s a fascinating place.

What a cool 😎 space museum 😀👍
