  • Please Note: Exploring Abandoned locations especially mines can be dangerous and deadly.Never enter a mine or cave without the proper experience and safety gear. I don't condone or encourage anyone to enter an Abandoned structure. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal and when possible, I seek out permission. I simply go to document its history before it's gone and leave things the way I find them. I assume all the risks & responsibility in doing so. Please don't attempt to do this on your own.

    Good stuff guys. Load bearing coal conveyor for sure lol. I saw the same exact style one, motor and all in a different mine. That one is sketchy too. Those cars saw better days for sure...

    What a great find! I truly enjoyed this video. Wouldn't one of those cars look good restored at the end of your driveway? Here in Clinton County we had a much narrow gauge system running through our mountains. Both clay and coal. Bituminous coal and clay was our staple. We had brickyards everywhere. I'm not far from Queens run. Firebrick! We had rail all over the area of Farrandsville. Across the river we had coal!

    Amazing finds. Three coal cars, two steel, one wood, fantastic. You two work well together. You each add to the other's knowledge base. Thanks for sharing. My grandfather worked the Lehigh number 8 mine in Coaldale, and passed from silicosis in 1956 when I was 6. Your videos remind me of how treacherous it was for these guys every working day of their lives. Thanks for making me understand what their working environment was once like. I understand why my Dad after returning from WWII, never wanted anything to do with coal mining after seeing his Dad constantly struggling to breath. God bless all their souls for all the help advancing our culture into the 20th century.

      That's rough with your Pop man. The mines definitely have a dark side to them even if you love them.

    That steel side coal cart was a brute. Built to haul heavy and take names bro ! Thanks for putting boots underground and sharing all the neat finds man.

    Back breaking, knee scraping, head bumping, belly crawling, elbow knocking, daredevils of the deep.
    You guys rock! (Pun intended). 👊👊

  • @CheapestGamer
    @CheapestGamer Před 6 měsíci +1

    You guys are braver than I am. I'd maybe go in 5-10 feet and probably nope out at the first major collapse.
    You guys should check out the openings I mentioned on some of Phil's other videos since they're really cleaning the hillside below them quite a bit. I don't think they could build all the way up the hill though since there's a housing project directly above most of them.
    Though you guys would be highly visible from the road since these aren't in the middle of nowhere.

    wow, that place has gotten kinda rough. been probably 15 years since we were in there. we were acutally contemplating disassembling that vulcan shaker conveyor and removing it for restoration but with the braces to the roof we didnt want to disturb it.......... nice vid!

  • @TopoRanger
    @TopoRanger Před 6 měsíci +1

    Those metal carts were sweet and the terminal collapse there at the end of the left hand tunnel was scary looking! Did they pull the carts up and out with cables or something? Great work guys!

    • @577buttfan
      @577buttfan  Před 6 měsíci +2

      Out of the slopes yes with wire rope and hoist.Some drift mines or level gangway they would use electric mine motors and mules.
      Thank you.

    You find the coolest stuff. I'm curious, are you able to map your path? I understand there's no connectivity, but maybe some apps can still automap when offline?

    • @577buttfan
      @577buttfan  Před 6 měsíci +3

      I've seen software that maps out in a 3D format underground mines.Tells you everything from size,distance, elevations,it's very cool.I have no idea what the explorer was using though?

  • @CuriositiesCaptured
