  • We are told the 1800s brought about the rapid rise of rail lines across the continent, and with those lines came some magnificent train stations. Lets take a look at some of these structures, many of which no longer exist. If you enjoy these videos, please consider clicking the like & subscribe buttons.

    Seeing the old world makes this new world even less attractive. Crazy how many fires took out amazing structures around the same time.

    Toronto's Union Station, and New York City's Grand Central Station, both have beautiful vaulted ceilings and are spectacular in size and design.

    These were all built before built in obsolecence became thing. People back then built to last.
    P.S. Seattle rehabbed their old train station. They removed the drop down ceilings etc to reveal the old arch details.

    I find subtle but notable inconsistencies in every one of these images. For example - Smoke stacks and chimneys belong to the post reset era, which is us, hence the need to make these cityscapes look like 'we' built them - when we never. Lighting and shadows will usually tell you if its been compiled using multiple images or not, it just needs you to look for inconsistencies that in clear view.

    Worldwide zillions of bricks were made for these prolific builders. Unmatched beauty. When you stand in front of one of these works of art appreciate it. Think about it, they put statue's and carvings that could not be seen from the street level. They didn't hold back.

    Excellent! I agree with what you say about the skilled craftsmen that would be required to build these amazing feats! It wasn't just money and manpower. Higher consciousness and Creativity im sure are part of the equation too. the Ancients knew their body was the temple of God and i'm sure lived much longer and with more strength than modern man.
    I especially like 10:49 the broad street station in Pennsylvania and the Tacoma station you show near the end just after 13 minute mark, wow!

    We _know_ that these were built to last, as some of them have survived to this day and still look fine. My question is also *why* they felt the need to destroy most of those masterpieces...only to replace it with parking lots and ugly modern buildings made of steel, concrete and glass. 😕

    "...The Railroad Hoax - Part 2
    This is how we build railroad tracks today - we can only do 1 mile a day and that does not include base prep. I believe tracks were dug up instead of created. Later on in the mid-1900s, we mastered track laying and rebuilt all old track that was dug up in the past. Imagine, in the late 1800s.
    ------------
    After seeing how we build a railroad track today to make 1 mile of track in a day, I can't help but laugh at the historical narrative that 8 Irishmen and a small army of Chinese built 10 miles of track in one day. That includes the base prep, rock/gravel, compaction, drainage, 10 miles of iron track, railroad ties, iron spikes + equipment. ----------------------------------------------------------- Imagine how much time it must have taken to get all the supplies to the site and spread those supplies over 10 miles.
    Just a little math on 10 miles hoax.
    1. Base materials and set up for drainage - unknown
    2. 10 miles of crushed rock - unknown weight - but I would think it is tons every 10 feet.
    3. Rails: there are 1609.344 meters in a mile so 10 miles of track would be 16,093.44 meters of track. I meter of iron rail is 77.5kg/m so the weight would be 1,247,241.6kgs of rails. A covered wagon could carry 5400kg load so it would need about 230.97 covered wagon loads to haul to the site. I am not even factoring in the travel time of the wagon - breakdown - weather conditions, etc.
    4. Railroad ties: there are 3294 railroad ties in a mile so 10 miles would equal 32,940 with an average weight of 250lbs so that would be 8,235,000 lbs of ties covered to kg. (8235000 lb × 0.45359237
    = 3735333.1669 kg) so that would be 691.728 covered wagon loads.
    5. Railroad spikes - 4 spikes to a tie so 3294 ties a mile x 10 miles = 32,940 ties x 4 spikes per tie = 131,760 iron spikes for 10 miles. Railroad spikes weigh one-half a pound so 2 spikes (1 pound) divided into 131,760 spikes = 65,880 pounds of spikes converted to KG = 65880 lb × 0.45359237= 29882.665336 kg--------divided by 5400kgs for a wagon load = 5.53 more wagon loads.
    I, personally, don't believe we built 10 miles of track in one day and that this is just a story to promote the railroad. What I believe is possible is that they dug up the existing railroad of 10 miles in one day. Just imagine the logistics of 10 miles in 1 day back in so-called horse and buggy days.
    Who was supplying these railroad supplies?
    Who shipped them to the site?
    The telegram was fairly new so orders were probably made on horseback.
    How did they spread out 10 miles of building material, dig the base, make the base stand up against water, compact it, lay the track ----------------------
    All in 1 day! I don't buy the narrative! -----------------
    FYI - that record still stands today in all our technology!
    I believe we dug up all the tracks just like we dug up all the incredible Tartarian structures and such.
    Next post is on the narrative story because all fake history has a starter story..."

      I wonder about the construction materials in all the buildings also. The rock quarries, who was supplying all these things? The glass, the sculptures? How were all these things being built at the same time? Train stations, schools, capitols, post offices, on and on. Lots of pics of finished buildings but never pics of the actual construction. What were the companies names doing all this building? I need to do more research on all this stuff. Damn, it’s crazy, the possibility that we have been lied to about EVERYTHING.
