Join me on another Railroad adventure as we search for some of the remaining sections of the Laurel Line. This old trolley service played an important transportation roll in Northeast Pennsylvania. Although today, there are three miles of it still used by the Electric City Trolley Excursion, the rest is being reclaimed by nature. So come along with me on this exciting adventure. Enjoy

I've been looking forward to making this video for a while and I'm proud at how it turned out. If you'd like me to return to film more of this area, let me know.

@michaellogrande8609 4 года назад

I would like to see more of the Laurel Line past Rocky Glen Park. Maybe there are sections that can be seen between Moosic and Wilkes- Barre. I would also like to see more abandoned railroads period. Great videos!!

Excellent video, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Like you I like to learn the history of the area and especially anything to do with railroad. Yes I would like to learn more! I think that your videos are an excellent way to learn. Keep up the good work and be safe. Bye for now…

@lorrainekrauss5140 4 года назад

This was very interesting. Would enjoy more videos like this. Great job on the historical background. 😊👍

@dr.leonardhofstadtersavage6413 4 года назад

This was fantastic JP, i would love to see more videos of the history and abandoned rail roads. As well as the exploration of that area, so many remnants of old structures left behind.

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

You got it 👍

I love the sound of running water in that stream it’s beautiful - In warmer weather I would pitch a tent near that water and get a good nights sleep listening to the sound of the water😁

@bunnymaurer5164 2 месяца назад

It's so sad to see old rails, trains and trolley. D.C. used to have trolley. They company bothering to take up the tracks. Very dangerous.

@elnabjelland-hughes8172 4 года назад

At its peak the trolley carried 4.2 million passengers a year from Scranton to Wilkesboro (?spelling) - some parts of the line were put back in service with electrical overhead wires and supposedly there is talk of bringing back more of the line - I hope that happens .

@barbara-pigeonbray4579 4 года назад

...Loved the intro ..etc.....the special features are awesome . Would love to see more footage of this gorgeous area ....love history and so glad you included the old photos . as well as documenting the remains of the Laurel Line . Beautiful video , Jay .Amazing ending shot !

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

I cant wait to return and continue the journey.

@billlukasik1801 Год назад

You stated that the first station was Rocky Glen. Actually there was the first was Virginia Station, once the "Over the Hill" & tunnel routes joined. Also most of the ROW base rock was quarried from the area just south of the I-81 double bridges that the tunnel route passes under.

@ericmcquiston9473 4 года назад

My grandparents use to live by a old rail line and whenever I would visit them I'd go walking it. It would be great for you to explore those other locations. Great video JP !

@rebeccaankney-pajonk3253 4 года назад

I live about 4 blocks away from the railroad that has similar story. Use to connect a lot of little cities. Sure would be nice if it was operating again. a lot of people in this rural area don't have cars plus there would be savings on gas. Pretty much all that it''s used for now is taking visitors up and down maybe a four mile stretch.

@chriskelleher349 4 года назад

This is better than PBS Nova. Keep having fun JP.

@MegaRedsoxfan1 4 года назад

JP, I live in Hershey, PA currently. Hhad to smile when you chomped on the Hershey bar. I grew up in the Scranton Wilkes=Barre area in a little town called Duryea. I'm curious. What town are you originally from? Art By the way, I also watch a lot of videos from your friend Cliff Zeller, Quite a character!

@sallychaney7317 4 года назад

I had trouble reading the subtitles when the writing was in front of pictures. Yes I enjoy anything about the R&R lines and of trolleys. I’ll see you in the next video, great exit line

@jenniferjacobs228 4 года назад

I love it when you get sidetracked and find unexpected gems like those old ruins. As usual, it was loads of fun seeing your beautiful home state and I loved all your artistic bits, although I must say, whenever you do the walking away from the camera bits, I always think, come back..you forgot your camera..hahahaha Would love to see more railway tracks videos.

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

Haha. Thanks jenn

@Chatty-Cathy823 4 года назад

I always love your exploring - especially of the trains era. It was such an important part of the history from east to west and every town in between. ANY exploring of history is my favorite! Please explore MORE of this area (or any train related exploring). Thank you for taking me along on your journeys!

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

@buttonvalley 4 года назад

Another great video. Definitely come back and go through toward Rocky Glen. It's a shame that the trolley lines and railroads went out. It's mind-blowing to think of the money and manpower that went into building these rail lines, now left to be reclaimed by nature. Keep throwing in the stories from your past too. It brings a personal touch.

Trolley reminded me of the one you went thru that became a house. Loved the vid until the ATVs broke the ambiance Mother Nature provides.

That trolley from the house will be riding those same rails in a few years.

First video I watched of you guys today and subbed. Can't believe I just now found this. Great stuff! Reminds me of an abandon track grade in a park I go in Ohio. Looks like the same area.

@dominicknole3845 Год назад

Jp i have an adventure for you. No one has done a video of the old Gravity Railroad, ran from Honesdale to the breakers in Scranton, Dickson City. Behind the Holiday Inn in Dunmore there are tunnels at the top of the mountain. Trail runs from Dunmore to Marshwood road crossing. Great adventure, the coal was taken from the breakers to Ny City for heat and production. They pulled the coal cars up the mountain with Donkeys and later with motor cars, when empty the cars would free wheel down the mountain by themselves.

@wafflesnfalafel1 2 года назад

nice vid - thanks for sharing. Thanks for the comments about realistic safety/protection - I do carry bear spray much more for the potential crazies than for the bears. It really doesn't take much to be 1000% more confident in your defense. Cool "icicle" and trestle crossing vids there too.

This country had public transport like this all over the place. A lie by GM and a tire company killed them all...proven n court, that awarded $1...think someone was bought off?

Not sure the bee story was an adventure as much as it was terrifying.

@MikeG104 4 года назад

Cool video! We’ve been riding the atvs up that way for a couple years now, not very frequently though. As far as what’s along the tracks heading back towards Pittston, the old dynamite plant is back that way. Last time I was there, there was still a couple standing structures. That would make for a good video I’d think.

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

I did a video on that. I was back at the goex plant just after it exploded and it was like a ghost town with everything there. Now its a shell of its former self.

@frankjonathan8043 4 года назад

Oh Yeah-you did another great video! It was good that you inserted some historical info of the Laurel Line. I sometimes wish that I still lived up in that area so that I could do more exploring of the long gone railroads and mines just as I did way back in 1970. And, YES, please do more exploration of the railroads since that whole area is rich in railroad history.

@JPVideos81 4 года назад

I see that you are interested in searching for old abandon areas. There is an old railroad bed that runs along Penns Creek in Union and center county. there are some old tunnels along with it runs from Cheery Run to past Poe Paddy and Poe Valey. Also in Union/Lycoming county is a village of Elvira outside Allenwood, PA. A good history of how the federal government bought all the land and placed an ordinance there. I thought you would be interested. Best George Foust
