WILL BE TACKLING THE DOWNHILL TOMORROW IN MY TRUENO HACHIROKU. TAKUMI SENT ME. NAMASTE 🙏🏽 FROM BROOKLYN.

It was a lot of fun going inside the arches when the fall hit and you wanted a bit of adventure

Born in Binghamton. I remember riding the "Phoebe Snow" over the old DL&W tracks to Elmira. Worked for Conrail and serviced the Goudy station in Johnson City before it closed. Remember the line very well. Thanks for the memories. Joe S

Very nice video and thank you for sharing, as I have never been able to personally see the Starrucca Viaduct but I really enjoyed the before and after photographs. I assume the road you drove under the viaduct was where the D&H railroad tracks used to be? Also, in the Cropsey painting you featured, what is the arched viaduct before the Starrucca Viaduct? Thank you. John

Very interesting pictures of ancient places in Bighamton. I'm mexican and stayed in that City in 1967and 1974. I enjoyed this video. Thank youvery much.

Thanks for taking us out on that pier very cool 😎

I have 1950s NEW YORK CENTRAL RAILROAD spikes they were made in NY

Interesting

Thank you so much for the video ... I hope I'll be blessed enough some day to get to the area .. I'm a B&S (Buffalo & Susquehanna RR) fan, but I live near the SW end of the line, Sagamore, Punsxytawney, Dubois, Benezette, which is as far as I've made it, although NYC also has the rail to trail from Jersey Shore (Williamsport) north. I think these 2 lines merged near Hornell and then went to Binghamton. Thank you again. Glad to see the Erir line still in use.

There was talk of rebuilding the D&H line coming off the Binghamton - Mohawk line

it would be cool to build a rail cart and ride down them tracks haha awesome video man!

I'm sure I've kayaked the actual point on the river which will be the tri-states union a few times.

That trestle looks exactly like the one that CN 3254 drove across back in the 1980s

Go get ‘em TCY!

I used to go on that bridge every now. Then it's my step, dad and the full tanker.

You have nads as big as church bells my friend. I was puckering just watching.

I walked those tracks back in the 90's before they had a pathway across the train bridge. It's how we'd get from JC to Vestal. It's a lot safer these days!!!

grew up there,

Love your channel, never would have known it was there, what a sight!

Come to Cortland and talk about our tracks

The shoe factory is now apartments mad expensive and across from there is the pharmacy school glad the tracks are off cause kids play there

This was cool! I live just a few minutes from this railroad and I never knew about it. I knew about the Vestal rail trail though, great spot to walk! I didn’t know it kept going or that there was a levee there.

Where are you from?

Gorgeous blue sky with puffy white clouds and you say Binghamton is always "cloudy and rainy!!"

You're not from here if you've never walked the tracks, the bridges, explored the abandoned buildings before they burned down

This video was a pleasant surprise. I love the train tracks in Bing. They're very peaceful. Thank you for this

How is the university of Binghamton,presently,could you suggest it

That is a wonderful area of America you live in, for discovering "before and after" views of Railroading sites. As an "Original Transcon RR" fan, I go to sites off the beaten path, on the UP/CPRR ROW's, and study books relating to that subject, since we live on other side of country. The most spectacular view is the 7000 altitude + Summit Tunnel, Donner Pass...and the effort to blow thru it 1865-67...the last obstacle of Theodore Judah's Survey's back then. It is a walking area now, and Donner Lake a couple of thousand feet below. There are videos showing the walk thru. Thanks, and thoroughly enjoy your activities. 😃 PS...subscribed.

9:55 The owner of the restaurant on the left was assassinated execution style in 2019 in that parking lot

This popped in my feed.....grew up on the Southside of Johnson City, EJ buildings, and the RR tracks. Used to hang out on the tracks during school at the old C.Fred Johnson school. Summertime we'd walk the tracks with our fishing poles and bait and walk down to the Goudy Station, walk across the trestle and go fishing on the Dam. Or we'd fish where the warm water used to come out of the Goudy. One day, the Erie Lackawanna was changing cars at the lumber yard on Grand Ave (I remember the night (Saturday) it burnt down), the guys let me ride in the Engine while they swapped cars around. It was so cool. Another tidbit, I worked at the old Philadelphia Sales store on Grand Ave. Thanks for the video. I get home a couple 3 times a year now.

11:43 I know someone who jumped off that bridge to commit suicide

That orange clamp is a derailer if a train comes down that track that derailer will derail the train n keep it from going any further

It's sad how some rails are being abandoned when they can be used as excursion n or scenic train rides n them pile of hooks are plate ankers they keep the rail plates in place n keep them from moving

It's crazy I walk dese tracks everyday when I'm tryna get from jc to bingh quickly or vice versa

Do you guys think Upstate NY will come back?

What a nice place! I like that! Thank you bro!

Lived in JC all my life since 06 I’ve always wanted to explore those tracks with friends I love adventure and I love my home town ♥️

i agree with you about people dumping their trash on the tracks we have that problem to

Aye good job capturing one of my favorite places, pretty cool to see.

My wife and I travel through there maybe 4 times a year to go shopping. We were there just this past weekend on 12/10/22 and I was asking my wife how I would love to hear the explanation from a NYSDOT Engineer on the project their rationale for this layout when they had every opportunity for other options. I know there is a lot going on there with Route 17 and the Thruway and all of the roads leading to and from the Commons and other shopping centers and High School. It is very confusing, especially at night. Just curious.

Born in Binghamton. Parents moved the family to Florida when I was 4. Father was born, raised in Ithaca. Mother from Cortland. His favorite was the Black Diamond, hers, Phoebe Snow. Upstate railroad heritage is in my blood, though I'm so long removed.

i saw the video and was hoping to see myself or my old drug dealer tom walking around , we met there i wonder how hes doin!

it dosnt have the same country feel as the Viaduct in Indiana

Something you should keep in mind. Even though that set of tracks is no longer in use, you are still trespassing on Railroad Property. Once a track is out of service for so many years, they may remove the rails and ties, allowing it to become a regulated nature path like they did here in Cortland for the Lime Hollow Nature Preserve and Trails. Otherwise, it is still their property. They defend this land because of the value of the steel that still resides there. Many people have tried to scrap the plates and spikes only to find they get arrested at the scrap yard.

The giant power plant building with the big smokestack that he passes houses many homeless people that are very hostile to outsiders. Don’t go in there lol

Binghamton is a beautiful city, but it has been on the decline for over 50 years. It is such a shame.

I drive by that bridge every day. I've often thought about taking a hike through there. Interesting.

Awesome video, I remember seeing ConRail trains rolling down that spur in the video, kinda sad to see it’s all pulled up now and taken off line , My grandfather used to work for Chessie systems railroad until they sold to Csx, he moved my grandmother and mom here to Binghamton and was a Engineer for ConRail up until 95” then he retired, as a Railfan myself I enjoy watching fellow Railfans videos on here . Thanks for making and sharing this video.

It is interesting to see where the stone was Quarried. They had a bridge across the creek to get the stone out, by rail. it is above the bridge for Starrucca Creek just above the turn of the creek in the gorge. (Summertime it is full of rattle snakes there.) The other side of the bridge has a door going into the abutment. I know who owns that quarry location and seeing how they go the bridge over the creek above the gorge and where they quarried was interesting.

you are not far from the ANSCO building at the start, recognized the water tower on top. Also notice the sand in the tracks there, they were used to hold Frack sand within the last 10 years. Also, the tracks follow know contamination sites
