This location took over 6hrs to film and offered a little bit of everything. So i hope this longer adventure gives you a nice break from the situations we are all currently dealing with.
Looking forward to it, JP!
I have your watch still cause I'm waiting for the 1st Jason action doll to come in the mail. Next month I'll see if I can find the other one that has even more stuff that goes with it. Find them on WISH.
I have to walk miles to the bank cause my apt manager won't make 1 short call to the bank & have them FAX the missing bank statements I need for my 'reassessment' we Hud folks have to go through each year. She's a really mean person but it is what it is. She's doing her best to kick me out of my apt😃😂😁 What she might find is she might go to jail for her underhanded actions and for not giving tennets their rent recites, that alone is a Federal offence.
She gave me the papers 2 days BEFORE they were due but it's dated on the papers that by law you are soposed to have 10 days to give her the stuff. Oh well....🤘👻
This video was INCREDIBLE Jay!!! Totally takes your mind away from it all. Absolutely Gorgeous views & interesting finds! Just Amazing!! Yes please return. The underwater shots you talked about will be awesome. Thanks for all your hard work on this. Maybe that cool blue bottle will still be there. Again just INCREDIBLE!!!!! :)
Enjoyed this video. Beautiful footage. I would love to see more. I'm not familiar with QT. Whats the story there JP?
All those people on freeway and on ATV s totally unaware of what's just up hill
The mighty Erie Railroad. How sad it is ancient history. My Dad worked in the Erie Shops in Hornell, NY for close to thirty years, as did his father and brother. When the Erie left this town it was the end of an era for this small city.
My Great Grandfather worked in the Erie Shops in Blossburg PA and when the railroad left it was a similar situation for that area
Love feeling like I’m with you on this adventure 💚 sharing every priceless moment 🧡
Just wanted to say @JPVideos I find your videos so peaceful, tranquil and relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming!
Thanks a lot Celtic
The cave you found used to be a spring house and a refrigerator of the old days. It was made to get fresh purified water and to keep perishables cold in the summer. Back in the days before power and refrigerators when people would have meat and stuff, they would put it in there to keep it from spoiling. If your ever back that way, look around in the woods. All those bottles you found, there must be a and old house foundation around there somewhere close by. It would be pretty cool to take a metal detector if you would find where the old house was. Back in those days people buried money and stuff around trees and around the house. Who knows what you might find. Thanks for the videos. Love them!
Mike doing a livestream on the fly...very nice idea to do for his followers. JP and Mike are my favorite. I rarely watch anyone else anymore. Thanks guys.
Reminds me of where I used to live in Michigans upper peninsula. Abandoned tracks, mines, and mills all over
A few notes. around 7:22 in your video, Milepost 11 should have been on the right side of the tracks, it was still standing the last time I was there. Starting at 10:07 see the double rock cut behind you? That second cut was an older railroad known as the Lackawanna iron & coal company railroad. When you do your hike up to #5 dam at Montage Mountain, part of "Ore mine road" will be the old railroad grade. You should have seen this second cut get lower as you walked towards River st. It did cross the Erie and then continued on, its grade can be seen in places very well. Around 50:47 as the tracks are curving right, Mile post #12 was still there a few years ago. Starting at 56:33, the large stone wall is known as the palisades. Behind it is the Pennsylvania Coal Company Gravity Railroad, plane #5. The wall was build for the gravity railroad. If you follow it, you can see the remains of the gravity plane. Around 1:17:15 look to the left, the railroad grade seen there is the Laurel Line's Dunmore branch. About 1:18:15 (not sure) was the remains of Mile Post #13, but it was destroyed a few years back. 1:19:54 is the remains of the foot bridge that went over the tracks and I-81. There is a ton of history in this section. Nice Video! I published my pictures of walking this area here. Also links to the other railroad grades in the area:

Wow, how the heck did you know all that? Im impressed! Also, thanks for the information.
@@JPVideos81 Ive researched the line over the past few years and have a copy of the valuation maps.
Agree with JP,. Thanks for the information I am always interested in this kind of history
You folks have history stacked on history. Central California watching & learning
I like old blue glass, would like to see more
Your videos of old railroads are all great, but this was our favorite of all. Thanks for another fascinating adventure.
I appreciate the kind words. Thank you
Thank you so much for your walks in nature. With the Corona virus. This is however i can get outside to see the beauty of the world. Again thank you and God bless you.
You're welcome
The rock outcrop area reminds me of Rimrock and Jake's Rocks in the Allegany National Forest, near the Kinzua Dam/reservoir.
When you were talking about that trickling water and it being drinkable I just about fell asleep..... the sound of the water was so calming... i love ur videos. thanks for sharing
Very peaceful and tranquil. Thanks for watching.
Omg yes. I love anything zen and that was so relaxing to listen to
I have videos of rain or streams running over rocks or waterfalls, playing to be able to fall asleep each night. It's works well too!!!
Ann Page was the house brand of the A&P supermarket chain. They closed in this area in the early 1970’s
Ty for the info
Cool... thanks, I did not know that.
I worked for A&P in the early 80"s in Greenport, New York. Rachael Carpenter who owned A&P at the time had a house on Shelter Island. It was very big house next to a golf course on a big piece of well manicured property right on the water facing Greenport. I made minimum wage which I believe was 3.85 at the time.
Fresh ground 8 o'clock coffee done by the cashier on a grinder that was attached the the end of a register counter. The smell was was good. lol
Wow that waterfall is beautiful just beautiful
Thank you for being my eyes to explore abandoned railroad tracks. One of my favorites!
My pleasure Debra
guy I tell you what it was a good video!
I enjoy walking with you've been to his pretty cool I haven't walked in wilderness since New Jersey. Alpine mountains when I was a boy scout!
I'm 69 years old I still enjoy and I missed it very much
I live Florida I'm going to try my best to enjoy what you enjoying. thank you for it's nice to see.
yes plzz do a bottle hunt! would love to see what you find. You can sell them on Ebay
I dont know anything about them, but they look so neat.
@@JPVideos81 , you could contact Robert (YT channel: Sidestep Adventures) he's from/in Georgia and he does know a lot about bottles!! Just in case you wanna know more about them. Anyhow, Thank you so much for this wonderful journey, it did in fact help take my mind off of what's going on out there right now. Wonderful and Beautiful shots of mother earth and all her beauty :) Many Thanks again for cheering up this sick-of-being-stuck-inside lady..lol.
I looked up the Bromo Seltzer. It was an antacid taken as a headache reliever but more commonly as a hangover cure. It’s main ingredient, bromide, was a tranquilizer. It was addictive and the earliest version was also toxic. The pharmacist who originally sold it started to do so in the 1890’s. A 14 story building bearing the seltzer’s name was built in 1911 and was the tallest building in Baltimore at the time. It had a giant Bromo Seltzer bottle on top of the tower that was removed in 1930. The seltzer with the addictive ingredient was taken off the market in 1975. A newer version with mainly baking soda and acetaminophen was brought back in the 90’s and can still be bought online. My guess for all the bottles there is that people probably used to throw their trash out there. I’d love to see you dig up more!
Awesome. Thank you
This was one cool hike!!! Beautiful scenery!! Loved it immensely!!! 💖💙💖💙💖🤗🤗🤗
Glad to hear it
I love your videos and thank you for keeping it clean with no foul language. I have other explorers I love but with the foul language so it’s hard watching theirs sometimes. Can’t wait to see what else you have in store this year
Thanks stacey
Really enjoyed your video. It definitely takes !y mind off this virus. Thank you very much.
You're welcome
Ann Page is a 1950's brand for A & P supermarket.
I mourn railroads when you could get on in your village and go somewhere as you can in the rest of the world. I can drive 1-1/2 hours to catch a train in U.S. and I did and went across the country that way, but in the rest of the world, you can commute easily by train all over. I love travel by train.
SO...did we decide Mike is QT? Better be careful he carries a big knife. Great find on the natures carpet, it was so thick! And the donuts at the end...that was about all I could do (which isnt much). I imagined all the workers who laid that track and now its abandoned. Kinda sad. Thanks for all your hard work on this one Jay it was worth every minute.
I definitely need to keep a closer eye on mike.
I like the second picture well. And the one that was being taken when I left the video. Good job! Thumbs up to you and your crew.
Just found you and your lovely videos and their history and scenery.
I like that you film for us your activities, WITHOUT MUSIC on a constant content.
Fondly, mrs.job
"Oh! That butterfly's playing 'chicken' with me." Hahahahaha
🤣
It looks like an Indian place for hunting party to spend the night going or coming home from the hunt! I felt like I did I was even getting out of your breath but I know how I would’ve been breathing! Why was this closed down they could have sleepers and then the train coming stop until am and then continue on something like that the 1920’s - the 1950’s!! I would appreciate something like that!
Awesome video! Amazing views, some of which really surprised me. Thank you for sharing❤
You really love 'nature's carpet' don't you?!!! Interesting video and great photos as usual. Thanx for taking us on these interesting walks during what is a very trying time in our lives. Gill 🇬🇧
Something about that green fluffy moss just stands out to me.
Another fantastic video JP, i look forward to seeing more of this specific video. 👍👍👍
Thanks my friend
@@JPVideos81 i love how you include the history of the rail road. 👍👍👍
Beautiful view of nature and some good old history of what used to be there.... Awesome video!
Thank you 💙😊
Railroads abandoned less used lines to save money, in PA specifically in the anthracite region there were multiple railroads in the late 60's to early 70's trying to survive. Thanks to the Staggers act Conrail could abandon redundant and money losing lines.
Beautiful walk ,thrue nature.loved it.!!!!
Was good to see there are still some nature left, even if there is left over civilization. We walk away and nature reclaims. Wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
I Google Ann page macaroni salad and found someone selling a mint lid dated 1958. I'm not sure how long before or after that...
Awesome JP, I felt I was there. My favorite was the baby trees growing inside the railroad tracks. It looked surreal. I always love your videos❤
🛤🌿🚂🚃💙
Just now seeing this video after 2 years and being from upstate NY this is truly beautiful still there is an old abandoned railroad in the Adirondack Mountains of Ny
I am watching it again. Can’t get to sleep thought seeing those pretty waterfalls set into “nature’s carpet” would bring soothing thoughts for me. Sounds good lol I herd 2 trains tonight 9 and 945 while we were live streaming. So bye now👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hope you got a good nights rest
This video is amazing with all the great finds!!! I'd definitely like to see more videos of the amazing finds on this video. JP, I Love this video!!! I love the sound of the water coming out of the rocks Thank you!!! ❤️💜❣️💚
My pleasure Virginia
@@JPVideos81 Thank you again for the great videos!!! I appreciate all the hard work and long hours it takes to bring your great videos to all that love them!!! 🤗😊😀
Thank you for taking us along with you.
My pleasure
The jar comes in about 1940s this one looks like 1949 or at least it's about that. dam nice video, Robert from Wales
Enjoyed the video, beautiful surroundings like I said in chat, Eerie, it didn't look scary..lol🙃
Thanks JP.....👍
1:10:00 looks like you found a historic bottle dump. I’ve heard a lot about these dumps and some of them contains some really cool treasures. Hopefully you found something good from the bottle dump
This was a good trip,wonderful waterfalls,just lovely your videos take me away from what is going on in this crazy world.looking forward to your next video.Thanks for taking us along and you take care as always❤️👍
My pleasure 😊
Hermiston Oregon had a small train museum. They tell about the beginnings and endings of the railroad. You contact them if have questions about the symbols. Every conductor has there own mark.
You are so humble I enjoy your videos.
Thanks so much
I like long videos. This one is super great👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ty sally
Nice video. This is right up my alley . Although rusty , that track looks to be in good shape . Interesting how they terraced some of that rock outcropping.
Ty mark
thank you JP
A very relaxing video, JP. I also love going around my town seeing where old railroad tracks use to be, I didn't know that there were others who liked the same. :) Like putting peanuts in your Coke bottle, nothing goes better together....and, I've been doing that since I was a kid, how odd....LOL!!! P.S. I have to warn you though, "Night of the living Dead" and "Dawn of the Dead" were filmed in PA (I really wonder why??), so when walking about in the woods, remember to keep your guard up, especially around Monroeville Mall and old cemeteries which in my opinion are still hotbeds of Zombie activity in PA! :)
👍
This was awesome. Watched the entire video all the way threw! !! Awesome
Thanks! Hope you enjoyed it
Cool video JP ... it's amazing all the hidden treasures to discover ...
I love places like this. Thanks for watching.
Are there bears or other big animals out there?
Hey everyone
Loved today's hike... The water and rocks were great... Thank you so much for taking us along...
Catching up on your old vides here, hence, the REALLY late comment! Around the 7:05 mark, on your right, there should be a trailhead. From what I understand, that was a railbed that originated in the iron mines in the East Mountain area. I assume it was for ore cars taking the ore to the larger rail line. Spent a lot of time in that area in my teen years in the 80's. Another great video!
I have been enjoying your Erie Railroad videos. I used to live in Forestville N.Y. and we had a branch of the Erie that ran from the southern tier to Dunkirk N.Y. I spent many hours "exploring "this section as a child. Had 1 to 2 trains a day. Goes over many creeks, ravines and wooded areas. Would love it if you would find this section and "explore" it.
One of your best, really enjoyed this one.
AGREED! Oh yeah JP, Dig up that bottle dump. If I was there and able I would take some of it out to recycle/dump.
Thanks so much
Love your videos! You always do a great job JP!
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks mike
Hey ,just found you, awesome. Peace from 60 generation ✌️
Oh the nature’s carpet and the ferns are so lovely. I think you go back to the spot where you found all the bottles and have a look at them. All that garbage on the hillsides, it is disgusting what people do to leave a mess for someone else to clean up for them.👍👍👍👍👍
I will be returning
I would love to have some of the moss to make a mat for my bathroom by the tub. It looks so soft. I love all your videos. Keep them coming.
That shelter you found was amazing, wow!
Beautiful countryside
Oooh maybe I can watch 💙 power is still out.
All I thought was all my dogs would have loved being there (except for the timid one). I would have been a fantastic walk but the trestle bridges looked a bit iffy for them. Gorgeous area!
Very awesome video and footage of the railroad tracks
Thanks
Awesome adventure feel like im with you. My legs and breathing issues dont let me go far. i enjoy all you informative adventures.Keeps me entertained, keep it up your an awesome storyteller keep it interesting stay safe and Happy Easter to you and your family.
You too junie
The pics you took are very nice. I love them.
Thanks
Fab video! A new fan from the UK! Thank you. ❤😊
Really enjoy your exploring videos the natures carpet is very good for water filtration. Thankyou so much.
Agreed
Absolutely great video.
Thank you
That rock shelf was definitely interesting, those blue bottles are worth some $.
Now you tell me...
Very cool forest just love it. So beautiful in PA. Really something how they put that railroad threw there, really not to much space. Its really sad when a rail line is closed down. So much history. That's purty cool snap of a finger, your are just awesome. No its not the real QT. Someone is copying it.I don't understand how a tree can grow on a rock. That is sure interesting how the water just flows out of the rocks. I find that so interesting.Man that huge rock formation its really something of Gods creative art work.Boy one would think one can pitch a tent up on top of the rocks, I bet the view at night would be beautiful. I can believe such a beautiful rock, would love that in my yard. Winter time would be interesting if the water would freeze like a water falls.
I think he got tierd and had a buddy do it for him. Maybe he didn't think people would be interested, maybe enough.
That Bromo Seltzer bottle though! Holy moly! That's a collector's item in itself! The Bromo Seltzer clock tower is in downtown Baltimore, MD.
Ill have to see if i can go back and grab it.
I would love to mountain bike there, with a camera. It would be great to open up the old railway for a steam engine. Beautiful scenery.
Agreed. Its a beautiful area
Great video, second time watching it. Lots of interesting information. Thank you for the entertainment!! Onwards and Upwards!!
Thanks so much for checking it out... again. Haha
MAN! so lucky to have THAT much track left to walk on!!! and good job over the tressel. Old or new they never git easier!

Oh hell no could I walk over that much less ride!
Apparently Ann Page is a elbow noodle sold at A&P. I found recipes using it online in a Life magazine ad from 1953... Love this video. Our old rail tracks are gone and they paved as a walking trail. Technically it goes about 40 miles in total. It's called Sakatah trail in Minnesota.
👍
JP, awesome and cool video! Those rock formations, little waterfalls and caves were really cool! Really enjoyed your video. Cool blue bottle! Hope you go back and look thru the bottles there. Blue is my favorite color too because, my Daddy's eyes were blue
Thanks carla. I definitely hope to return.
great video once agin you were on my old stoping grounds from the 1970's thanks for the memories....
Thanks for checking it out
Definitely our kind of hiking day. I can't wait for this all to be over so we can get back out there without so many restrictions here.
Like others said... Ann Page A&P... My dad used to work there around the time I was born. We still have aprons from there 😂
Definitely go back and dig up those bottles. Do some research before so you don't miss out on some money makers!
I doubt id take any with me unless they are esthetically pleasing. They could be worth 5 cents or 50 bucks. I wouldn't care either way. I just like looking thru them.
That trestle looks a lot worse. It's also missing some rails. Those ties look very bad. Someone will have to take it down soon or fix it up before it falls.
I remember isn’t this the first part of your last premiere I remember that you had a snickers and almond bar oh well it’s fun to watch doesn’t matter. I just love the waterfalls👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This was my first snickers almond bar, but this is a long video lol
It’s OK we love your long videos we’re seeing a lot and learning a lot thank you thank you thank you for this beautiful journey it made our day
My pleasure reena
Hello, I am a new sub. Dig your channel! I love exploring abandoned houses. Thanks for posting
Awesome. Thanks for stopping by
I think you should come back and pick up all the bottles and jars and take wondering woodman Mike
👍
the rock formation at around 19:20 ish with the small hole in it and the tree growing out of it was so unique. I was thinking how cute a picture with a knome or animal sitting at the entrance of the hole would be. That huge overhang would be awesome to camp at. The explore was great. Thank you.
You're welcome
I really enjoyed this video. I love railroad history and the hike looked fun. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
You're welcome tim
I enjoy the long videos. You do such an incredible job with your content! I'm a newer subscriber and I've been binge watching a lot of your videos! Super job! 💙
Awww thanks so much! 💙
Great Adventure, thanks,
Ann Page Used to make the best fruit cakes around Christmas time here in Michigan
When you were walking across the bridge in the beginning,did you see all those spikes in the center of the rails? Another set of tracks was there. These two sets of rails were there to prevent a derailment on the bridge.
Watching Sat evening from Georgia thank u Jay👍
😊
1:20:34. thats an old 5 or 6D battery flashlight... Radio shack I think. I had one of those when I was a kid in the late 70s. Radio shack had the battery club cards, every month you could bring your card to a store they would hole punch it and give you a battery. My grandfather owned a TV repair shop in sacramento so he knew all the local radio shack store owners on a personal / business level so I always had D batteries for that light, and 9V batteries for my electronic toys. That brings back fond memories.
Awesome!
You may have had several "Date Nails" on your travel over the tracks. They were used by rail lines to identify the year of that particular track, or stretch of track. A nail with a two-digit number on the flat head, about two inches or so long.
