thank you for being real and informative gentlemen i search for historically fun, and genuine americana. stay smart and hungry for facts and ancestry! cheers from Tucson brother, ill be watching you no doubt, this was excellent.
Right on I hear that sir, thank you. I created this channel for that purpose I couldn’t find one and we said awe heck let’s make one. Thank you for your support and stay safe down there cheers partner.
my parents house had windows like that, there was weights tied on the ends to hold the window up when they was raised. i havent seen windows like that in years. very interesting video.thank you for sharing
You are welcome sir, and thank you for your support it’s people like us that are going to keep history alive. Cheers and hope you are having a great holiday!
Steve, thank you so much for taking time to drop a comment and subscribe! That means a lot. It’s great to hear the positivity and excitement from a fellow explorer! We love this stuff as well and I’m happy I can share it with you..no shortage of fresh adventures on the way. Glad to have you along. Thank you again for the message and subscribing. Awesome!
That’s a neat fact there thank you, I figured it was something internal or a clip to frame system..counter weight makes sense and is probably more efficient. It’s so cool seeing the old standard and comparing it to todays. I think some of the things were built a bit better and simplified tbh.. thanks for the info!
@@MountainWestProductions I was a weatherization tech and confirm what they said about windows....they're called sashweights! Also...the old European carpenters that came to America Didn't use tape measures!!¡! They freaking eye balled everything!!! That's why old homes are expensive to buy replacement windows....they're all slightly different sizes!! Just enough you couldnt get one size...cheaper..every window had to be made custom!!..
Wow! I’ll be looking at windows and window cutouts in these structures we visit differently now. Thanks for the info, that’s an interesting job niche. Hope you enjoyed the expedition!
@@MountainWestProductions sure did!! I love to do this but I'm old and bad legs....but guys like you help me see stuff I'll never get to!! There's a guy who's channel I Really Love is out in Utah. He searches the desert with Google then goes out with a drone!!! I've visited ancient Peublos that haven't been touched in a 1000 yrs I'm just trying to say Thanx for helping the disabled to get out there?! New sub!!
@@davidklein1667 That's awesome David that we can bring the outdoors inside for you and others that would love to otherwise be there themselves. Keep watching for new great content.
Some railroads always kept up on higher ground because of the spring flooding of the rivers there were a lot of large trussell so trains could go mountainside to mountainside and avoid the flooded areas... Don't forget during the Great depression in the dust bowl there was a lot of places out in Montana that got buried really deep Helena is all drifted in from the dust bowl Some ranchers dug holes showing me that their fences in some places were buried with 50 ft deep dirt drifts in the dust bowl Some places in Washington Oregon Idaho and places in Montana you can't hardly find the old wooden railroad trestles how big they actually were back then
this! is interesting, thank you for your engagement and tip! the dust bowl does peak my interest and that era is definitely a period worth exploring..great take on the railroad system as well. pleasure to have a fellow enthusiast join the hunt😊
I watch a UA-cam channel of a lady and her husband gardening. They live in Ontario Oregon. She digs all the time even drills to plant bulbs etc. It appears they have no rocks. Tho there are mountains not too far from her. The soil is white. Could the dust have been so thick, you have to dig really deep to hit rocks? It just amazes me about rocks. Cause I live in Central Georgia, rocks everywhere. I dare not use a bulb drill, because I will hit a rock, might not be a big one, but I dig holes with a shovel, an even that's hard.
Came out great jack,i still haven't gotten mine done up yet as i have been tied up with other obligations.will start on it soon.look forward to another adventure.
Mr. OutBackJack, new subscrib. First video. I like how you go about your business. You and Mr. Montana Dirt Roads make discovering interesting. Lots of Info from both of you. And giving tips as you go. Recently retired, plan on doing some exploring of my own. Or as much as I can, with a small dog, and pulling a little trailer. Visiting family in Idaho(Bonner's Ferry). I know it's north, but Glacier is not that far. Maybe I'll catch you guys on one of those backroads. Vaya Con Dios, my friend.
Thank you for your support and kind words, means a lot as it’s a special thing to do and you learn a lot along the way..The best advice I can give is do it and do it until your heart is full. The open country and the things we over look in the sometimes rat race of life are the most interesting and enlightening things you can expose yourself to. And make sure you push yourself out of your comfort zone sometimes I get myself into some hairy situations and it seems like they pay dividends when you come out on top in the open west. And just know as you start your journey in idaho and go out exploring there’s always going to be something new and fun and unexpected that transpires if you keep your eyes open and talk to people or take a trail that makes you a bit apprehensive. This is so exciting to hear! You’re going to have a ball enjoy it and take it one day at a time and find a good camp site and hit the road and just be curious and open I guarantee you will value every second and the freedom you find. Glacier is beautiful but also look for things along the way that are not to popular those there are going to be great moments as well.. cheers partner, hope to run into you on the trail as well!
No kidding…that’s interesting. You could see how it wasn’t rusted or really strained by age. That old car was super neat to poke around. I figured it was something housed..I could tell by it’s condition but wasn’t entirely sure. Thank you another part of the Lombard puzzle answered!👍!
yeah everything before the mid-1980s ran off a Manuel fuel pump, I loved your video, I liked checking out old ghost towns and mining camps, you put them out there I'll watch them
We’ll much appreciated Bruce..I have a great fascination of this stuff as well(as you can see I hope ha!) but it’s always nice to hear that and share this fascinating history with a fellow explorer..really is. Thanks I’ll have plenty more promise ya that✅✅ glad you enjoy it too.
I've been watching your video's for a few day's now and finally hit the subscribe button! Great video's buddy with Montana dirt roads, History is fantastic, what a journey. I could here the brutal winter blowing around here with next to nothing other than some lumber and one stove to keep them warm. One question I had if you see this comment but @ about the 17:47 mark there is a double sign, I can read the top yellow one but do you remember what the bottom one said? "
That was a fuel pump carcass that you guys thought was a carburetor. Great vid you guys, history commentary was done very well and videography was fantastic.
At 58:50 in your vidio. The car part you find under the car is part of the fuel pump thd round end is where the diaphragm was. The other end bolted up to the engine block. Had a arm that came out of it. As you installed it There was a rod in the block you had to push up with the arm that came out of the fuel pump that went up against a lobe on a cam. The other end of the arm in the fuel pump had a spring on it that keep the rod pushrd up ,agalinsr the lobe on the cam. As the engine turned over the lobe worked the fuel pump.
Very interesting, cool you knew what it was off the bat! Thank you appreciate this info useful and informative. Thanks for dropping in and sharing your knowledge👍👍👋
Great videos! My life is totally fucked up at the moment turning 43 in a few months because made totally wrong decisions... I enjoy watching you guys going up in the scenery. Don't have that here in little Belgium... think it's sad because wouldn't turned up like this living where you guys are. Keep it up!
WOW, what an amazing area, thank you both for sharing all of the historical information… I’m a landscape photographer living in southern New Mexico. I’ve always had an interest in railroads, even worked as a trainman for several years in Pennsylvania. Ironically I was born in Milwaukee but never had much interest in The Milwaukee Road as I was heavily into the narrow gauge lines in Colorado. I think I need to visit Montana and learn about the area as well as The Milwaukee Road… You showed up on UA-cams recommendation list due to my interest in ghost towns and railroads. I subscribed to both your channels.
That’s what we are here for, it’s viewers like you that keep us going! Thanks so much for the view and support, if you ever make it out this way give us a shout..I have some great landscape photos as well.. thanks Hugh 🤠
Don't forget mosby Even winnet used to have 250,000 people living there.. I lived out a place called the wind throw ... Named after Woodrow Wilson The lonesome Dove 🕊️ cat Creek oilfield... I can't forget Some years when the Missouri river goes down you can still see fort musselshell stick up out of the water..,. It was made out of cottonwood logs and they don't rot or mostly all the time underwater
That is so amazing! I always love when people have experienced Montana and can relate to what I find. I keep these place in mind for the future expeditions. Have a safe, but wonderful weekend.
T dubb, thanks for the support. we are working on this sooner than not I know we can really provide more beauty and detail with better equipment. if you have some recommendations drop um! thank you this is some really amazing stuff I’m glad it peaks your interest as much as me👍
Thank you so much for the support, I am so glad that you found our channel. I have just purchased a lav mic and will start using it real soon. Stay tuned.
These messages about the graffiti are not for the person who made this video the person who made this video is awesome his videos are awesome on this upset about the graffiti
Hey bud I think explorer should be carrying paint with them and they explore this way when they see graffiti they can just spray paint water graffiti and erase it all for you know carry spray paint and you see the graffiti paint over erase it every time you see graffiti just paint over that'll stop them after a while
Thank you for the support David happy to share the journey. I understand what you are telling me! I’m glad you enjoy the adventures buddy! however the graffiti on the historic sites when we find it does frustrate me as well as much as you sometimes in fact. very unfortunate, I like the clean up idea and may just start doing that one day, I’ll give you a shout out for the idea also. very wrong for people to do that. although it’s currently a situation we have to deal with and over look until then. Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. I saved some of your comments and liked others so other passionate folks can comment too! hope to hear from you on the next one, thank you for your support and thoughts! see you on the trail buddy👋
THE TRAIN MIGHT NOT BE GOING THROUGH THERE NO MORE ABOVE GROUND 😇 BECAUSE I MOVED MOST OF THE TRAIN SYSTEMS UNDERGROUND THAT'S PARTLY WHY I LEFT MONTANA I GOT TIRED OF GOING TO PLACES I USED TO VISIT AND HEARING THOSE F****** TRAINS RUNNING UNDERGROUND
They have graffiti up the old snow shed train tunnels on Donner Summit in California also. Some call it art I call it graffiti because your defacing history. It sucks! It is even happening on rocks in National Parks
Kit, it is terrible. History was meant to be appreciated and not disrespected. I hope that people watching these episodes continue showing the love towards our historic places for future generations. Thanks for watching!
that’s cool, those things had to be high class for back in the day it was very compact for its age. did it throw off heat or was it kind of a desperate use?
I love the Easter egg. Thanks for showing the train. Made a perfect ending to the video.
Thank you, happy to share!👍👍👋

Cool video! So much history out there. That was a fuel pump under that car
The ropes in the window generally had counter weights to hold the window open and make it easier to open.
That’s a neat fact there thank you, I figured it was something internal or a clip to frame system..counter weight makes sense and is probably more efficient. It’s so cool seeing the old standard and comparing it to todays. I think some of the things were built a bit better and simplified tbh.. thanks for the info!

The window counterweights were tubular and about 12 inches long made of cast iron. I'm sure they are still in the wall.

TRAIN'S ARE COOL
AND THERE'S A LOT OF TRAINS THAT RUN UNDERGROUND IN HIDING NOW DAYS
YOU'D BE A LITTLE SHOCKED AT HOW MANY THERE REALLY ARE
Thanks so much Scott for finding my channel and viewing what I love to capture. Have a great weekend.
Great Video. I love Montana. I lived there 7 years in the Gardiner, Livingston, Bozeman vicinity. I refuse to call graffiti art. It is not art.
Thanks for sharing! Barbara, this is so great to connect with people that enjoy this area as much as I do.
It pisses me off, how many assholes are out there shooting up cars and grafitti in historic areas
Don't forget mosby
Even winnet used to have 250,000 people living there..

Named after Woodrow Wilson The lonesome Dove 🕊️ cat Creek oilfield...

sometime during the late 70's early 80s the govt paid railroads to pull up and abandon unused lines.
ahhh, that makes sense it was the railroads job and then sold off..interesting thank you!
its super flame, not super home
that’s cool, those things had to be high class for back in the day it was very compact for its age. did it throw off heat or was it kind of a desperate use?
@@MountainWestProductions more than likely it was regular use seeing as how there's not a whole lot of wood in that area
