Train Inside Hoosac Tunnel

- A rather boring video from inside the Hoosac tunnel while a train passes. The audio becomes distorted as the train approaches because of rapid pressure change and simply because the train is very loud.
This is not a good place to be and I do not recommend trespassing in the tunnel. Trespassing is illegal and is more dangerous than using Kanye West as a role model. Enjoy. Or don't. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
When you realize that the light at the end of the dark is actually a train approaching…
Everybody gangsta till the train starts blasting earrape.
I love the description
It really must be eerie to be in a dark tunnel that is deafeningly silent, and knowing that light is getting closer and closer, but you have no sense how close it is
Screw the fact that it’s "illegal" or "dangerous" I’m going to do this someday haha
I did it. Don't do it
Me too. Sometime in the next few months.
@@yanni2112 what happened when you did it?
Same bro
He found out why they call it the "bloody pit".
Creepy as hell...wow that's a long train...the sound it produced is like being inside category 5 tornado...gives you chills
Totally agree!
Me, too. I experienced it in early 2000. Really loud as the train passed by me!
Agree
Really scary. You know you couldn't run and you couldn't stop the train either.
1:50 “All right! here it comes!” sounds like a cartoon character. who said that?
I liked it, thanks! There's a 3/4 mile train tunnel in Worcester that as a kid I walked thru dozens of times. Twice as a train came through!
You guys are damn lucky you didn't get arrested. Mistake #1 was even being in there. Second was going in that deep.
spacecowboy2k lucky there wasn't something dragging or sticking out.
Yes, either scenario would have sucked.
don't let them scare you, it's a cool video
Iv been to hoosic tunnel and walked only a few meters into it but I heard if you get cought inside the tunnel when a train is coming there's wind because the train pushes all the dead wind out
2:31 what being sacrificed to Satan sounds like
When you realize the light at the end of the tunnel is really an oncoming train
Bet that was fun !
“Alright, well, let’s get the hell outta here”, he says casually.
One of the most dangerous things you can do. Pressure easily sucks you into the train.
Best audio on CZcams
Hands down
In fucking credible. I would've pissed myself with excitement.
At the wrong time you went for a walk into the tunnel when a train came how far we're you into the tunnel
Did the people on the train ever see you, or was the tunnel dark enough to conceal you?
Agree, so creepy, i can hardly stand it!
Wish I was there. Thrill of a lifetime!
Wow! Scary and exciting at the same time, glad you were all safe! How far in did you go? Did you turn around and go back the way you came in afterwards?
I think we were about 1.5 miles in from the east end. We intended to go half way in but were unnerved by what appeared to be a headlamp approaching us from about 100 yards ahead. Thinking it was another explorer I called out a greeting once we were within earshot. At that point the light stopped moving and slowly dimmed out until disappearing completely leaving us entirely bewildered. We decided then it was time to turnaround. Within five minutes a strong gust blew through the tunnel followed shortly thereafter by a low rumble, indicating that a train must be bearing down on us. Perhaps the light we saw was simply the train's headlight reflecting off the tunnel ceiling. Whatever the case, we found a safe place to hunker down while it passed and followed it out the way we came in. The exhaust was awful and made it tough to breathe. It's a good thing none of us had weak hearts or a pulmonary condition. We were all eager to get out of there quickly.
@@SantaBumm, I don't think that was a reflection, it might've been what the tunnel is famous for, the deaths of many laborers.
@@JsMisc That too crossed my mind. It crossed all our minds. But in the middle of that dark and poorly ventilated tunnel, some two miles from the portal we opted to grasp at any rational explanation other than 'holy shit we just saw a ghost!' Maybe we did see a ghost. I don't know. I'll tell you this though, it does make me wonder if there's a Scooby Doo episode based on the tunnel. That's a missed opportunity if there isn't.
@@SantaBumm, true.
Worst thing to do please never go in a tunnel in an active railway lol
ARE YOU INSANE????????????!!!!!!!!!
yes
I bet that was one hell of a rush. That said, I'm trying to imagine all the disastrous things that could have happened to you had the train experienced an emergency such as a derailment as it traveled passed you. At the speed it was traveling, there would have been nothing left of you guys.
Sonny Dean I guess there would be at least three people killed. And probably a lot of logistical headaches for whichever companies rely on that rail line for shipping.
@@SantaBumm I loved the video scary and fun.Were you not in a safety cubby hole some tunnels have them some do not?They are specially made cut into the sides of the tunnel just for hiding from a train as a safety.I seen some are 50 to 100 feet apart.
@@arkansastrash320 we were able to find a spot far enough away from the passing train. I guess it was a cubby that had a large electrical junction box, but it was roomy enough for that and the three of us.
@@SantaBumm I am very glad you found it.
@@arkansastrash320 Yes! The tunnel is numbered every 100 feet inside, along its north face. 251=25,100 feet, east portal counting down going to west portal. There are niches all along the north face, every 300 feet (excluding the first 500-1000 feet from each portal. (There was even a blasted out corridor somewhere within the center, going north, leading to some door containing a frosted glass window, and locked. Behind the glass window the "blasted out room" was even lit inside back then! Couldn't see through the frosted glass.)
Best part is that the Hoosac Tunnel used to be double tracked inside, now it is single tracked, being moved to its center.
That was either Pan Am Southern 287 or 28N depending on which direction it was going.
The train came in from the west portal and out the east.
@@SantaBumm Seems like this train is traveling slower than the one encountered in early 2000. It was a westbound. I did happen to note, before I ever saw any headlight, at I did feel a change in air movement, coming on me at the back of my neck for some three minutes prior. I kept myself well hidden as it passed by.
By the way, was all of that diesel engine exhaust so blinding, whereby you were unable to see the closest portal after the train passed by you?
Why the NS Locomotive then?
one year later reply lol, but NS has trains that run over the Pan Am system, therefor the "Pan Am Southern". so NS 16R would be PAS 16R
This is great, we need more videos like this
Moron.
Wow that was INSANE :O
That was a Norfolk Southern Train.
How can you tell?
@@SantaBumm I saw it's stripes.
@@vientheimpostorandtrainfan8508 Stripes, eh? Shows what I know about the subject of the video. To be honest I'm fascinated by the tunnel itself; the history, the engineering and construction, and the lore of course. I haven't quite yet developed my interest in the trains.
That train is so slow!
That is thoroughly terrifying. I wonder what the crew was thinking as they came up on yall.
Stephen Hook
They were probably thinking the same thing as Fred Lohmann.
Dan Atchason Were you guys in the middle of the tunnel? If I would have been inside and saw the light, I would be running!!!!
Erich Diebold We were too deep inside to outrun the train. Plus the air is terrible and not something I'd want to be taking deep heaving breaths of. The best thing to do in that situation is to hunker down in a nook and wait for the train to pass.
Dan Atchason I live in Bolton England we have a preservation line called ELR for East Lancashire Railway and I have been inside a tunnel there a few times now.
It is a mix of steam and diesel and is fantastic when the trains are coming the anticipation and then the glow from the firebox and sound. Or the deep rumble from a loco like a Deltic.
+Stephen Hook the crew were thinking..."Hey look at these retarded trespassers...." at least that is what I would be thinking....
"Fly you fools!"
Train passes at 2:15
2:25 "Hey, let's get on it!" ??????????????? Talk about a bad idea!
Bass boosted train
SPOOOOOOOKKY 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
You should NOT be in the tunnel when a train is in there! That is dangerous and trespassing on railroad property is illegal.
I agree with you on that 100%.
The unfortunate part about the Hoosac tunnel is that it's so long you cannot see the other side. No knowledge of whether or not there's a train coming. And no way to outrun it.
how far in were you?
Maybe 2 miles... Not really sure.
@@SantaBumm it should still be numbered, every 100 feet on its north face. The 251 you will see at the east portal means 25,100 feet, counting down, until you reach the west portal.
2:15 talk about earrape
Dat Bass Boosted gain.
did your friend say let's get on it.😦😟
No, I don't think so. That would have been the last thing on our minds.
2:26 Yeah he did
@@HelicopterDr Then all died because the train speed passed is farrr to much, to jump on it..
Let death be your friend 🤯
don't try this at home
kids its dangerous
luke York 2001 "don't try this at home" I DONT LIVE IN A TRAIN TUNNEL
@@87cheezits77. Make that "Kids, don't think of this at home without having second thoughts on your way to the tunnel". 🤣
Where was this??
The tunnel runs from the town of Florida, MA, to North Adams, MA.
@@SantaBumm that was Norfolk Southern?
Trespassing on Railroad property is ILLEGAL AND DANGEROUS
Sound quality is not good. JS.
I know. Unfortunately there just wasn't enough cargo space on my motorcycle to haul in some decent, battery powered audio recording equipment. It was either bring food and water, or a microphone, mixer, and batteries. I chose to bring food and water into that tunnel. Worst decision I ever made.
omg, this was the most exciting video ive ever seen in my life! omg, i wanna reply it again!..... NOT
+Tyler Lavigne (T-Man) I warned you.
