Such care was taken when this granite culvert was constructed. The power of nature is massive and the builders of that beautiful culvert understood that. It would have been amazing to have been able to watch that being built. The bond between you and April is strong. She trusts you implicitly.
This sort of industrial engineering fascinates me. I spent my childhood clambering around places like this as here in the UK a lot of the 18th and 19th century infrastructure is still in use or easily accessible. Great video as always. I find you so engaging to listen to and your enthusiasm is infectious :) Edit: and April is turning into quite the gorgeous dog! Bless her little heart.
How are you still single? The work you do is amazing, and that culvert is beautiful! My daughter and I love watching your videos together. There is something satisfying about watching a clogged drain be unclogged. And the water flowing freely again. Thanks for uploading!
I just love the way you watch out for April. She is just gorgeous and so big. But dad, don't leave me here alone. I come to you now. Both gorgeous, as usual.
A beautiful stone culvert, there is nothing like old stone, it's so pleasing to the eye and so durable. You definitely should have been a water system engineer, keep up the good work. 👍
I like you just the way you are you make each and every day a special day by just you being you and the best person you can be is your honest self! Keep being you and unclogging those drains the world needs people like you!
Hey Post, I just discovered your videos a few weeks ago and I've been watching them all. They are incredibly relaxing and your demeanor is incredibly refreshing in the current political/social climate. Your videos are an escape to a peaceful place and I just want to thank you for that, so, thanks.
First of all, it is very interesting to see the difference from winter to summer in this lonely area. You took very nice pictures in winter, even if it was sometimes very dangerous for you. 😊👍 And now you've taken sweet little April 😍😘 again for a nice walk in this area. I am very positively amazed what you have to tell us and what you know about the train tracks etc. all very informative! Many thanks. 😊👌
I like to think of myself as a very knowlegeble guy, especially about any tradesman subjects ... I am expert in several trades ... BUT I always learn sonething new watching post10 vidoes!! ... he has an amazing volume of knowledge!!! Loved this video!!!
Hi post 10, I like your videos so much, and this one is another great video. Would be interesting to see the granit box culvert when the water level is high. I've made only few videos (2x with abandoned Railroad Track, and the way of mounting the tracks on the ties differ to the ones shown in your video) which actually can't reach the quality of yours, but I try to learn from you and so I put some credits to you at the end for the inspiration. Thanks for sharing, stay safe. Regards from Germany, Ulf
Nice to see the winter shots to compare, all too soon it'll be winter time again. Maybe you could make some chalk marks up the inside wall of the culvert, to see how high the level actually gets.
Love all your videos. I check every day, unfortunately I missed this one a few days ago cuz I was having some surgery but I'm here watching it now and going back to see if I missed any others 😁
for your draining videos, would there a benefit to keeping PVC Pipe with you to help vent air on some of the more flooded stubborn drains or is it just not worth it?
I know culverts have to have a floor, how to effectively clean a clogged drain, foundations of roads from pipes, 12in -24in pipes for drains, proper ppe gear for drain cleaning, how to use a rake, etc... learn so much here
If you want them not to make hives at your residence you can spray peppermint (watered down) where they try to build a hive. They will move out and not return.
My brothers and I did the same kind of exploring that your doing when we were young. the snakes were bad during the spring & summer. I would love to go back to the hills of Virginia and do it all again
@@brianreid7283 we were around Blue Ridge, Montville Venton... the Roanoke River we walked the stream around the old water wheel... good times good fishing spots
Hey post love videos you're awesome, I live next to a culvert next to my favorite Trail and kids had damned it up by putting rocks all around it to make a pool and the creek is now not draining properly. I have gotten in contact with the dec and my local Conservation Club and the owners of the trail, but nobody's taking care of it. I've noticed that there is many fish in the creek but only in small little pools that are not getting water no longer and also I am no longer seeing salamanders and dead crawfish that are just died because of natural causes not from predators. My question is should I undame the culvert before winter or leave it? Also not even 200 feet away there is a brand new Beaver Dam that I also brought out to them so I feel that the creeks ecosystem is in peril. But I ain't touching no Beaver Dam. Lol
I bet the second layer of bricks, mentioned at 2:50, in that culvert is due to a repair job. Maybe, after corrosion was visible, a second layer of bricks was put in place on the inside of the culvert.
What made you get into this? Does the city notice your hard work? Do they ever offer you a job? You need to get paid for this, Brother. Glad to see you were on the news for your work an they responded. Props
Mad to think, that culvert been there and working long after many new models just can't even cope with a tiny rainfall. Some others you show, are well past thier best before date, this one, will probally be there long after we all gone and the next generation come look at it. I like how the builders of this were thinking. Not.."lets replace this in 20 years, forget where we put it and hope someone finds it later because of a flood. No, more of a...we built this to last...it's not going anywhere...you are..lol. That and "what flood? I see no flood..lol. Water can't get through? Sure it can, but do you want it to take the railway with it, or shall we make something to help it. A time where solutions were as simple as what the effect was. Times long gone and forgotten. That's why i like this channel, you see a problem, and have a practical mind. Sort of..ok, so there a flood, so what's causing it? Oh, a blocked drain? Got an idea, how about moving that blockage away. Wow, those holes in the ground actually work then...lol. You are a dying breed of person, one that does care, sees a problem, and offers a simple, but highly effective solution. Amazing what you can do with a simple rake..lol. Not technical, doesn't need a 7 year university degree on schematics of water flow and drainage solutions. Just a simple..remove the block, water will do what it does best. Of course, i have no doubt, over the years, you may have noticed an unusual amount of water coming from the same sources, and with the same old drainage systems, they can't cope with the extra water. This will, inevitably lead to another major issue. We either have to replace the drainage systems at places most liable to flood, or face the consequences of inaction. Of course, you are not liable for that choice, the city council or whatever is responsible for that. But you can be, almost, the best thing they could ever have...someone that goes out there, and does regualr checks, just to make sure things are running as planned. Of course, you don't have to reort every flood, that would be a pain, but anything broken, you could, and then it's up to them then, not your problem, so to speak. Something that i would find highly fascinating, is if you made a simple map, of the area's you been, and your rought idea of how bad a flood in that area is, then you can compare, over the years, if climate change is happening to you locally, and how bad. Very important data for future scientists, and great idea where you can expect to go at any one time.
Inside the culvert with the water flowing is probably to loud for her sensitive puppy ears. How come you never show you look ving on her and encouraging her with love, pets and maybe a treat once in a while ? After all, she is just a baby. Not trying to be rude. Just curious.

Your puppy is so cute, looks like she doesn't like being left alone
I don't think any puppy likes to be alone.
@@zushikatetomotoshift1575 yeah, my dog is the same way
@@R3TR0--93 I have a cat and she is the same way.
PS I have a weird cat cause you don't see many cats that are like dogs. But still like a cat.

This sort of industrial engineering fascinates me. I spent my childhood clambering around places like this as here in the UK a lot of the 18th and 19th century infrastructure is still in use or easily accessible.
Great video as always. I find you so engaging to listen to and your enthusiasm is infectious :)
Edit: and April is turning into quite the gorgeous dog! Bless her little heart.
Old infrastructure is so fascinaing to me too. I wish I had the same access to stuff like that.
Nice culverts, nice scenery. Love the pup.
I think this granite culvert is one of my favorites. So beautifully constructed. Definitely an adventure, even without a lot of spiders.
If I was walking past and saw a man seemingly talking to himself in the drain admiring the spiders I would run
that is one of the nicer culverts we've been through. the floor is so cool
That brick culvert will last another century or two.
Maybe 4 since it is layered with 2 walls
How are you still single? The work you do is amazing, and that culvert is beautiful! My daughter and I love watching your videos together. There is something satisfying about watching a clogged drain be unclogged. And the water flowing freely again. Thanks for uploading!
The return of the king
Absolutely
fellowship of the rake.
the two beavers.
Another great video from Post 10 and 10 1/2.
I just love the way you watch out for April.
She is just gorgeous and so big.
But dad, don't leave me here alone.
I come to you now.
Both gorgeous, as usual.
You produce some pretty good content!, But don’t endanger yourself for us, stay safe!
I agree
Agreed, stay safe Post 10!
But there is nobody else around
Yep spiders are way creepy!
Yea stay safe
A beautiful stone culvert, there is nothing like old stone, it's so pleasing to the eye and so durable.
You definitely should have been a water system engineer, keep up the good work. 👍
April is the only one that understands that "stay" means "come"
I just love the old granite box culverts. 💚💚
Thank you Sir. Dated tack pins on the ties, never knew that.
Rails were made at Bethlehem Steel in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Now it’s a casino.
I'm happy you have an adventure pupper. :) 🐕
I like you just the way you are you make each and every day a special day by just you being you and the best person you can be is your honest self! Keep being you and unclogging those drains the world needs people like you!
Another adventure. Great video showing us the difference between summer and winter. Give April many pats from me in Michigan
That's a really nice & cool culvert, I like how some of the water falls under the rocks with a few pools around

The brick culvert is one of the best looking culvert you've shown.
I have no idea why but i just can't stop watching! Great video!
Those “pins” with the last two digits of the year on them are called date nails. Railroads stopped using them around 1969.
I never saw a box granite culvert like that before, looks very strong. Interesting video
Another fun and knowledgeable video :) April is so adorable!
I can’t wait for the fall rain to start - drains and culverts galore!
"that's not concrete, that's beautiful granite." Only post 10
Thanks for sharing. I remember when you were there during the winter. I bet April is a pretty popular dog on youtube. Please stay safe. Stay Healthy!
Seems to nice to be hidden 50ft below disused rail line .
I like to think of myself as a very knowlegeble guy, especially about any tradesman subjects ... I am expert in several trades ... BUT I always learn sonething new watching post10 vidoes!! ... he has an amazing volume of knowledge!!!
Loved this video!!!
Keep on walking, keep on exploring!
Nice, I'm ready for the rain just so I can unblock the culverts and storm drains. Haven't had any rain in weeks

Your videos are so relaxing and your puppy dog is the cutest 🥰
Puppy is cute! Though seeing that you are by water so much, you should have gotten a Labrador, Water Spaniel or Golden Retriever.
when you say "WE" are going to check this out, I always wonder if your "WE" is you and puppy? she is so cute love her!!!!!! TFS!!!
You should pan that culvert for gold... must be some trapped in there...
This guy loves culverts.
Nice to see the winter shots to compare, all too soon it'll be winter time again. Maybe you could make some chalk marks up the inside wall of the culvert, to see how high the level actually gets.
Agreed. I love that and how he always lets us see where the water comes out
I love watching these vids and I love dogs
Thank you for sharing!!!
How expensive would that culvert cost back then, and were they actually planning for this one to last hundreds of years?
You should dig the rocks from the ridges in that culvert and pan for gold. They are the perfect gold catch.
Wow! April got big quick!
Love all your videos. I check every day, unfortunately I missed this one a few days ago cuz I was having some surgery but I'm here watching it now and going back to see if I missed any others 😁

nice, I just watched the ice dam video the other day. can't believe you got so close to the yellowjackets without getting stung.

Great video. Loved the train tracks
Your pupper seems very cautious. Not sure if that's a good trait or a bad trait.
Maybe she'll go down bigger ledges when she's bigger.
The culvert looks like its from the old world.
I would be cool to ride an inner tube down the granite culvert once there's more water going through.
In times like these nothing is better than a Post 10 video to help you get thru it ✌
Really enjoy your videos!! Thank you for all the hard work you put into your videos!! Take care Post 10!!
Those yellow jackets are Wasps, here in England.
If you want them not to make hives at your residence you can spray peppermint (watered down) where they try to build a hive. They will move out and not return.
April leads a charmed life.
Those tracks look like they'd be fun to ride one of those go karts with train wheels on.
We need post 10 in Florida to help with hurricane sally.
That dog is beautiful 💙💙💙
My brothers and I did the same kind of exploring that your doing when we were young. the snakes were bad during the spring & summer. I would love to go back to the hills of Virginia and do it all again
I live on Roanoke and there are crazy culverts towards downtown
@@brianreid7283 we were around Blue Ridge, Montville Venton... the Roanoke River we walked the stream around the old water wheel... good times good fishing spots

Got to love your adventures always amazes me
The lowest you have seen the water level in 20 years? You must have started this interest young....
Hi, Mr Post man. Is there a way to send you something on the mail?
this is so interesting to watch
Your pup is chub. ❤️❤️❤️
Of course she is scared about the light - you hurt her with pointing it directly in her eyes!
What made you get into this? Does the city notice your hard work? Do they ever offer you a job? You need to get paid for this, Brother. Glad to see you were on the news for your work an they responded. Props
Bright light can damage eyes, mostly on human babies and dogs, that's why people arent supposed to use flash when taking photos.
Great war curvert
What is a fishing spider?
Such a cute doge
What hangs there in the bushes at the end of the granite culvert?nice video👍💪
What do they use the tracks once a year for
Moving a seasonal train used for rides to storage
Another great video.
I remember the winter one, you were lucky you didnt fall through the snow into the water
Yeah, imagine you are running thru that area and think that is a high spot and fall and hurt yourself.
@@micah_lee yeah you could hear the water but it was all covered by snow
Your dog senses ghosts and demons
Super
İ m watching 109 Video anda Full liked
I bet your watching closely to see where hurricane Sally is heading!😉
Is this the presumscot river?
I like your adventure.
Where are you from?
Good morning post 10😉
Underrated youtuber........better that logan
You said sit, my dog sat
They should use methods like this w/all culverts-or at least go back to concrete pipe....

Can you tell us what railroad this is? or the location?
Looks like presumscot in Westbrook maine
I don’t know 🤔 about taking my precious pitty in all that muck ?!?!
Excellent place bro 😮😮😮😮😮
Why does train use those tracks only once a year? Thanks for your neat videos. You should be a civil engineer! 🇺🇸🚜👍
