    Just stumbled upon your videos I love watching you explore abandoned New England because I can sit on my couch and watch all the places that I would absolutely love to go to, but you do it for me and also some of my husband‘s family actually worked on the Housatonic tunnel congratulations on one year. Cheers to many more adventures

    Going in to that tunnel is an awful idea. Its shocking how quickly a train will surprise you 😅 gotta visit at night, its eerie as all hell when a train comes through. If somehow you were stuck in there for a train, you gotta hang on to those cables or get behind them in some areas. The pressure created from the train will suck you right into its path if it isn't moving slow or stopping.

      Yeah, even though I went inside the tunnel a little bit, I’m too scared to go any deeper in just because of how dangerous those trains are lol… it’s scary stuff!

    If you explore further above the tunnel there are a few alignment towers left. Those were used to make the tunnel was being dug and designed in a straight path as possible. The line also at one point was electrified and doubled tracked. There is also an abandon building by the train bridge close to the deerfield river if I remember correctly that was the pump house so much to explore in that one area alone. Also you can visit the central shaft building which is located on Central Shaft road not far from the tunnel and if your lucky you see how it clears exhausts from the tunnel when trains go through

    Imagine being able to take a train from Williamstown to Boston. I used to drive route 2 all the time to visit my brother in North Adams. Seemed like it was always snowing in Florida.

      That sounds awesome, good luck! One place you should check out is Ashintully Gardens in Tyringham, MA-I’ve never been, but it looks wicked cool! It’s the ruins of a early 20th century mansion.

      Yeah. We visited Bash Bish Falls in
      Mt. Washington Mass .
      We visited it 3weeks ago, the Mass entrance was blocked for repairs, but we took the New York entrance from Copake NY. If you've never been there, it is the making of an awesome adventure video.

    Hi.. I came across your video by accident and now I am hooked. It was so cool to see you film locations near my area. Most of the urban explorers that I see on UA-cam are no where near the new England/mass area. I have been out to the tunnel multiple times and love it each time. On one visit I was lucky enough to be up walking around the central exhaust shaft and the giant old fans kicked on to vent the passing train. Was so cool to hear and see. Have you ever tried to explore the old prison camps out in rutland ma in the state park? Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

    Brick ceiling cubby-hole is remains of “The False Start”. Early rotary stone cutting machine was heralded but stuck fast after a few yards. Rock sides and back show cutting motion. 85% filled with debris and most scrap metal removed, its a creepy place. New start made at present location.

      My apologies, I forgot to reply to that! So during the Civil War, construction did still continue, but progress was significantly slower than pre-war construction. It wasn’t until after the war’s end, in 1865, when progress continued as normal. Thanks for tuning in!

    Super interesting visit and important history. For anyone else interested in going in... don't.
    Its worth noting, under state law trespassing on a railroad easement is an arrestable offense in MA. Chapter 160 Section 218. Whoever knowingly, without right is present, stands, walks, or rides a bicycle, snow vehicle, recreational or other vehicle on the right-of-way, bridge, or other property of, or used or controlled by any railroad corporation, except at a highway or other authorized grade crossing and except on rights-of-way formally abandoned pursuant to state or federal law and no longer owned by said railroad corporation or rights-of-way owned by said railroad corporation but which have been converted or leased specifically for use as a bicycle or walking path in accordance with state or federal laws, shall be fined $100 or shall be required to perform a total of 50 hours of community service which may include service in the operation lifesaver program, so-called. Any person violating this section may be arrested without a warrant by any police officer, including railroad police, and proceeded against according to law.

It's a ridiculous law that is very inconsistently enforced, but one officer having a bad day could really ruin yours. Folks walk the tracks in a bunch of places in Western MA all the time but the R.R. had the rules written with a lot of bite for the cases where the want to make a point.
