On a previous adventure, I discovered some abandoned rails. Upon doing some research, I found out that it's an old spur line. But where does it go? What's at the end? The answers to those questions caught me by surprise, so make sure to watch in it's entirety to see what I found.

You’re right JP. Who knows what cool places you’ll find.

Jay, Years ago along the old Pasadena road in Whiting New Jersey, there was an abandoned Railroad line that went to Chatsworth, the heart of Cranberry production. There was even an old Hotel which was restored as an Historic Place. The rail line was abandoned and overgrown like the one is this vide. Some 15-20 years ago the line was fixed to get bulk sand from a mine in the Pine Barren area, so trains could take the bulk, rather than trucks to not disturb the new horse farms which started to develop there. The bridge crossing route 73 is still intact but abandoned. New Jersey like Pennsylvania has a long history of Railroad spurs to many small abandoned towns. I visited many sites and old decayed rail areas in the 60s and 70s and later my wife and I were able to ride on some of the restored tracks in places like Allaire Park etc. Your walk brought back a lot of memories... so glad your able to be out and about again. Best Wishes Fred "Rik" Spector

@markdeprimo2860 2 года назад

I've ridden my ATV in the culm banks there and I have seen rail cars as far back as the scrap yard. They store rail cars for Schott Glass and Petrogas there from time to time. If you had gone left that connects to the old Erie line that runs next to Rocky Glen that you explored last year.

@JPVideos81 2 года назад

Excellent camera work and commentary at this fantastic location. A nagging thought / question: how did ALL THAT VALUABLE COAL get left behind? Surely, there had to be a buyer for it SOMEWHERE. The fact that there are two on this trek adds to the viewers' enjoyment, IMO. Keep up the good work, entertaining us!

@bobgolfs4432 2 года назад

Hey JP. Once again, thanks for sharing! While my grandfather had passed many years ago, I believe he worked the mining area that you had explored. I do think that they may actually have had underground mining there as well. As a kid, I remember my dad driving past that area and seeing abandoned mine equipment, specifically the mine cars that shuttled the coal from the mines. I often wished that I had paid more attention to what had been going on in the area. So much history has been lost. Better yet, I wish he were still alive so that I could hear it first hand from him! Great job!

@JPVideos81 2 года назад

In my previous video here we did find what looked to be an underground mine loader or pusher of sorts. So they most likely had underground mining there.

I like that in my area they've been turning many abandoned rail lines into walking/bicycle trails. The Moonville Trail in Vinton county, Ohio is a good example. (Watch out for the ghost of the Moonville Brakeman lol!)

The line was also used by D&H which became Conrail. If you come south on that line it parallels the Pittston By Pass all the way to Jenkins Twp. turning down by Winter St and crossing south main. That line ran all the way to the Wilkes-Barre switch yards bac in the day.

@JPVideos81 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. I forgot about D&H. I grew up with conrail running around the area.

@redlinemando 2 года назад

Interesting that you mention that other line being bought by RJ Corman. He's fairly well known here in KY. I could be wrong, but it seems that I heard that he had passed away in the last 10 yrs or so. He actually has, or had, a scenic dining & passenger train running in KY for some time. It may still be in service today.

@mattcrowley3075 2 года назад

Awesome as usual!

@CheapestGamer 2 года назад

There's more abandoned rail lines in the industrial park off 315 in Pittston, by Schott Glass in Duryea and along North South Road in Scranton plus at least one old bridge abutment in the section of the Lackawanna River near the new(er) car wash along Main Avenue in Old Forge. I'm pretty sure there's also old lines in either the Keystone Industrial Park as well. In case you're looking for ideas on where to explore next.

@JPVideos81 2 года назад

I have some of them on my list to explore.

@CheapestGamer 2 года назад

@@JPVideos81 There's part of an old line off Larch Street on Jefferson Avenue in Scranton a block or two up from the former Celebrity House restaurant. Plus there's a dead line that crossed Providence Road near the Scranton Animal Hospital. Part of it was visible behind the Glider Diner at one point. One of the old railroad buildings is still at the three way intersection of Providence Road and Albright Avenue.

@jamesalinio5277 2 года назад

I think I know where that rail line is, it reminds me a lot of the area close to DeNaple's junkyard or close to it, though I've never been to that junkyard, I've been on I81 a number of times and I remember an old rail line ran close to one side of the junkyard, or was this down by Wilkes-Barre? Are you going to come up to Susquehanna to get video of the Starrucca viaduct and the old D&H abandoned railroad line,? That will be a great video

@JPVideos81 2 года назад

That's the old Erie line that goes through Denaples. I did a video on that particular section (railroad ruins playlist). Hoping to do Starrucca this year!

@bonnieharris8112 2 года назад

You can certainly tell that these tracks haven't been used in some time, with those trees growing up through them and close to them. When I see these kind of tracks, my imagination seems to run well ahead of me, tempting me to follow!

@robertmanley7556 2 года назад

Amazing how much old track is out there lost in Tree's , Weeds , Grass and Dirt that were used all the time ......sad really ......but makes a really cool video !! Sad to see people dumping garbage out there . Those old steel bridges are so old and cool neat to see there are some still around. Great pictures at the end I really liked them all but the ones with rivets was really cool !! 👍👍

It’s more than likely a line the train crew uses to run around their train when making switching moves. Example would be Train comes in forward, does switching. Then the locomotives are ran around the train to the other end for departure. Or the tracks are also used to stage cars. Store customer pulled cars until the train is ready to be reassembled after switching duty.

GREEN BAY has 5 Major Main lines that were ripped off for trails, and state expansion of highways!! 1. Milwaukee Road, South through Allouez, East Depere, to Hilbert, paved, or gravel. 2. CNW, West to Pulaski, Shawano, Wausau, gravel. 3. GB&W, West to Oneida, Seymour, Black Creek, New London, combo gravel or paved. 4. KEWAUNEE, G.B.W., East from Luxemburg to Kewaunee and e.o.t., combo pave and gravel. 5. CNW, East to Manitowoc and Sheboygan and Milwaukee, but sections with rails are Bellevue and Denmark. Plus ➕ Rockwood to Manitowoc and city industrial services. 6a: there are also Several branches lines now trails, but some are just weedy stripes, with Shawano North on SOO LINE to Argonne, gravel. And CNW Pulaski North to Laona (also with the popular LUMBERJACK SPECIAL, with 2-6-2 number 4 running back and forth from South to North on only their 2 mile long private shortline!!) 6b, and numerous branchlines in the North Woods for really old loggers. Ok in September 2023A.D.

Green bay. And the old Milwaukee Road south to Hilbert and Milwaukee, was abandoned in 1986, but chopped apart by numerous companies. A. G.b. to Hilbert is the trail for bikes and a.t.v. B. Hilbert South to Kiel,Active H.L.C.X. C. Kiel is blocked by the rotted old wooden bridge. D. Kiel and Chilton South to Plymouth and Milwaukee is Active with C.N. D-2. PLYMOUTH EAST is x-CNW to Sheboygan Falls to KOHLER INTL FAMOUS for bathtubs and plumbing. But this track was fixed instead of using the U.P. and X-CNW on the old Lakeshore Div from Sheboygan South to Milwaukee. X-tra: from Milwaukee North to Green Bay Wisconsin, WERE 3 tracks: 1: CNW Valley Division through West Bend, Fonddulac, Oshkosh, Appleton, Ashwaubenon to G.B.; but West Bend was abandoned by W.C.L. in 1996, and Happily NOW in 2023A.D can be rebuilt for AMTRAK and for G.B. PACKERS football 🏈Excursions!!!!! GO PACK GO!!!!! 2: MILW. RD. as mentioned above 3: CNW, through West Bend to Appleton, etc. Sadly. ALL these tracks have been abandoned and ripped off since 1987. OK ON SUNDAY September 17, 2023A.D .

I rate this video as one of yr best. You and RJ went beyond the call of duty making thru that jungle 😀 of brush and such to find what was being serviced by the railroad company. Don't understand why the tracks were shiny far past were the rail cars were.🤔. It appears the rail service from Scranton to NYC will come to fruition. Much work being done cleaning brush trees along the Lackawanna cuttoff.
