Conrail abandoned this tunnel. In 1991, Which was the original.1854. its the Gallitzin. The second bore was the Allegheny tunnel where they widened and double tracked and made clearance for intermodal trains. The portage tunnel is very short and mainly used for eastbound gen freight

The abandoned Summit Tunnel. Other Tunnel is Allegheny Tunnel. A third tunnel is the New Portage Tunnel. They are collectively known as the Gallitzin Tunnels.
Awesome video, been a while since i was in Gallitzin. I figured there would be tunnels around there. 22 just gives you teases of whats out there from the windows
Glad to see somebody doing some exploration in pennsylvania there's a lot there. I don't live there anymore. I moved out to the southwest , but maybe you want to hit some locations in monroe county in the poconos. There's some location like penn hills and some other areas that are just outside of the mount airy lodge , which is now a casino up in mount pocono. But all over monroe county is all kinds of abandoned locations.
Hahaha, you’re not wrong!! The mine on my channel was actually super close to this tunnel! Lots of coal mines out here but a lot of them are collapsed sadly But you got that right 😂😂
I was out in Cambria County for about 3 months on a huge construction project. We got some local guy from a bar to show us a cool Iron Mine. But be very careful out there as apparently Methane is very prominent in a lot of these abandoned mines in that to the point they set up some plants to source it and renew it into Natural Gas. You'll black out before you even knew it was coming.@@lastadventurer
@@jimmyjams5 That's really cool man, I love exploring abandoned mines! But thank you for the tip about the gases, there's definitely a lot of dangers in these mines and that's a good one to know about. 😄
Yeah man! 577 could probably advise better on what type of meter to use but I can tell you when they setup a plant to reclaim excess Methane, that's a sign its probably pretty prominent in the area.@@lastadventurer
