    That is amazing, back breaking work and dangerous, I like it when some people say u can't do that kind of work by hand u need excavator, dozer, dump truck, I look at that.

    “Decades later”
    That’s definitely a good amount of work for excavation

    How did they possibly use coal-fired steam locomotives inside a 5 mi long tunnel?

    Not pronounced Hoo-SAC, pronounced Hoosic

    • @TrinityCourtStudios
      @TrinityCourtStudios Před 2 lety +2

      Incorrect. It is pronounced “Who-sack” for the tunnel.
      The Hoosic River is a different pronunciation: “who-sick”

    I came to the comments to correct his terrible pronunciation. So glad people are beating me to it. This guy is early not from here.

      This was produced by WGBH-TV in Boston. They talk funny there.
