Fun fact: Post 10's first ever video of unclogging a flooded sewer grate was published on July 13th, 2017 and it got over 2.2 million views and over 10 thousand likes..... And a legend was born that day🙌💯🙏
That stone floor under the bridge was incredible! I've never seen anything like that before. It was built when people took pride in their work. Thanks for sharing your walk with me.
It makes me nostalgic seeing the granite culverts and how men took pride in their work and were respected. My dad was steel erector and wore shirt and tie and overalls. 50% go to university here in UK and so many trained to sit on a computer googling/researching/pretending to work. Not good.
That has to be one of the coolest bridge underpasses I have ever seen. Thanks for showing that. It just goes to show that things built years ago were made to last. Craftsmanship and durability of materials were standard. Another great video! Thank you.
I'm just a Post 10 fan m'self. I work for the railroad, so I can't really be a rail fan anymore. When Post walks along a track, I do feel like when I started as a fireman and oiler, making locomotive moves in the maintenance yard.
I understand what you mean. My dad worked for Conrail. When he retired on disability, he bought a home with railroad tracks running along the back yard. He loved the railroad. He would watch the trains past and the engineers he worked with would wave as they went by. He said it reminded him of all the times he rode those same rails before he was badly hurt in a crash where a trucker carrying a full load of cars thought they could beat the train on the crossing.
Post 10 ....thanks for the video ! In my educated opinion ( 37 years in the RR industry...track and transportation) the marks you highlighted was a derailed car ....the wheel flanges did quite a number on the wooden ties ! The date spikes were a cool find ! Got some from the teens and early 1920's . Keep up the great work!!
Yay! We got to see your handsome face for a moment! These old culverts are my favorite kind; there's just something about them that I love. Thanks for another great video! Looks like a nice place to hike.
As a straight dude. This guy should be a natural chick magnet. He's decent looking, confident, smart, honest, admits when he's wrong, has a cute puppy, I mean sheesh. Where do I find a woman with the same qualities? It's hard out here.
that Red funnel is a water intake for off grid water. it can power a pelton wheel for electricity or it can just be a water source for general use. example the water could be funneled down to a ram pump then taken up hill to a garden ect...
@@TheBanana93 I think it was because they didn’t need any water and they were trying to keep it out the river so there tanks and stuff wouldn’t get full or get any unnecessary water supply
Those stone (Granite Box) culverts are really beautiful. You pay big bucks to have walls made with those staked flat stones. Thank you for showing us. I would never have known about these if you didn't show us. I really appreciate you POST 10!!
Hi post10 the schools should ask you to teach the kid's all about culverts and how to help take care of them and the environment to you are great at what you do. My family even watch your post's now. Ty from Glasgow Scotland. 🏴🇺🇸
Well right and of course there is an argument that we don't do some things as well as we used to ... but as far as the culvert example, this is one of the culverts that survived. The poorly built/designed/engineered culverts are long gone.
@@johnmininger7472 exactly, we suffer from "Survivorship Bias" meaning we have an incomplete dataset to draw conclusions from because a bunch of stuff didn't last. Also i like how post10 acknowledges that the main reason we don't build stuff to last forever is simply economics.
Wow, really love those granite box culverts! That was some high-end engineering back in the days. In the long run the more expensive designs really hold up great, therefor they are a lot smarter then the cheap solutions of modern days...
We're currently surveying 7 miles of an old railroad bed for conversion to a bike trail here in illinois. The ditches on either side of it are very much like the ones in this video, been neglected for many years. Can't wait to see how it will look after the civil engineers and contractors get their hands on it.
Volunteers is the keyword here. If they want to maintain this track, they have to reach out to people / companies with access to equipment and convince them to chip in some voluntary effort to keep the track going. Call it a sponsorship if thats what it takes to get a company to let you use a flatbed car with an excavator on it...

Post10, you have out done yourself again. Thanks for sharing this terrific railway, that most will never be able to experience in person. That bridge was fantastic! I love the sound the water makes as it flows over the stones.

Bears can be reasoned with, _sometimes._ I'm saying that jokingly; I had a dream where a white bear (who stole things) charged at me, but I didn't move, and the bear stopped at the last second and I just scratched its head and ears like a dog while saying "Don't you know that can hurt people?" - Obviously though, that's a *dream.*
Nah it's just the labour costs and material costs back then just ain't the same as today, and they had no cheaper and easier alternatives. We have that now, and also people cut corners more. Stuff back then was built to last.
@@matasa7463 greed and profit motive is why we can't have quality workmanship. its not that we are dumber now. "we" collectively only care about cost benefit in a short term. Thankfully the people before us had pride. otherwise, our infrastructure would be somehow worse.

Who owns it? Who pays for it? If it was an insurance company, you would think they would pay the lower cost of maintenance cost, rather than rebuilding cost.

@@lordjaashin the burnt plastic smell is probably from houses & neighborhoods getting incinerated by those fires. Homes are full of plastics and it only takes a little for those potent smells to be noticable.

@@hminchella7423 Yes. There is something called a Ram Pump that uses the pressure of the stream and a series of check valves to move water uphill to a storage tank or to a faucet. Often used by people living off-grid. Actually really cool to watch it operate.
So interesting and your observations about old engineering is spot on. We simply do not do things for keeps these days we 'make do' which is just storing up the problems for later generations.
I bet those culverts were adequate when installed. once erosion starts and naturally the amount of water being moved probably overwhelms the original design. The ditches didn't collet that much water until they had years of operation and dredging. Now the system is overwhelmed? Just my best assumption.
That pole is a code line. It most likely had Telegraph and telephone cables at one point, but the B&M installed most of those to send power to line side signals, as well as to relay info from those signals, as well as electronic switch locks, and call boxes to a regional operator. It is quite the interesting technology for it’s time, and in several places on Pan Am it is still used.
It's a way to create pressure without a pump and without making noise you pour water in that funnel you bring it down it fills it up it goes down and Powers a generator I bet you in the woods if you follow that you either either find a generator or somebody needs pressure minor something
Reminds me of that other UA-camr (Australian) that built his own generator thing with water pressure using a washing machine. The pipes run for miiiiles in the middle of the woods
I love watching you post 10 you have so much in-depth knowledge its like watching David Attenborough of the culvert and drainage world its so amazing how much information you know thankyou please keep making videos my friend 🙏
Thank you for taking us along with you. In the UK we don't have train tracks like there o walk along We would get prosecuted. I love the walks you do.🏴🏴😇😇👌🐻🐻🐗🐗🦝🦝🐸🐸🐍🐍🦎🦎🦨🐿️🐂🦌🦦🦦🦅🦅
When they bring the ditcher, they should put one of the big chipper/shredders too to clean up the downed wood along the tracks. They could sell the mulch, or use it for landscaping around stations.
I think in the 1920s 30s 40s 50s 60s and 70s the craftsmanship on most mundane civic and also common world found items was so impeccable compared to the cheap material and labor today.
They designed things to last back in the day. The stone culvert are in remarkable shape. Post 10 you would love it in the UK we have lots of disused railways with culverts, tunnels and many water features all left decaying.

Was sitting here watching old Post 10 video while relaxing after a hard days work at the dental office. Got the notification that a new video was uploaded! Heck Yeah got excited!! Love your videos.
I could watch this 24-7. If someone told me a few years ago that I would watch and enjoy videos of someone unclogging culverts, I would have thought they were crazy, then I would have googled culvert.
As a rail fan this was a very interesting and enjoyable video! Thanks mate. 👍 Ps: Andrew Camarata might volunteer to bring a mini ex down for a weekend to clear those ditches. Would be a great collaboration.
A really enjoyable video, thank you for this. Great to see the dry built stone culverts and the stream bed below the bridge, I've not seen steel staples holding stone in that application before. Again you can see plenty of evidence under the culverts of hand-split granite blocks where the drilling shows along the edges of the stones. Great to see, it reminds me of the stonework seen at home here in Scotland. Maybe not surprising as the northern Appalachian formation is shared with a lot of the geology in Scotland, all being part of the same geological formation a few 10's of millions of years ago.
No bears!? And here we were all worried about a few snakes and spiders.... amazing culverts. They just don't build em like they used to. Thank you for this very cool video!
One of my fav vids Post. You're making me want to go along some of the private tracks in NH to do exactly what your doing. Seems like an awesome idea for a hike!
My home town changed our train tracks into a "Tanglefoot Trail" walking track that spans 3 counties. The main trains that deliver to my home town now run through the next town over, where I moved to and live now, and they're still running multiple times a day.
I learned so much from this video. Only buy tires for mileage you'll use within 3 years, nails used to be dated by year, the box culverts are best, new ones are made cheaply, the info on the trickling pool being a good thing for the drain, and probably a lot more. Just off the top of my head.
That was awesome!!!! Imagine how far you could have gone on your bike!!! I live in maine and love to see other people showing off some of its beauty and history!!!

Those granite culverts are amazing I’ve never seen but then again I’m British .
The reason there is little maintenance is the historical society doesn't have funds for it. Running only one or two trains a day.
They'd have to create public interest and get volunteers, donations to hire professionals to do what volunteers cannot.

As a rail fan this was a very interesting and enjoyable video! Thanks mate. 👍
Ps: Andrew Camarata might volunteer to bring a mini ex down for a weekend to clear those ditches. Would be a great collaboration.
Great idea! :-)
Another great video, its always so good to be out and about with you .
I love your videos Post and your commentary is great too. Keep up the awesome work.
America should get back into trains. It would really help the country.
A really enjoyable video, thank you for this. Great to see the dry built stone culverts and the stream bed below the bridge, I've not seen steel staples holding stone in that application before. Again you can see plenty of evidence under the culverts of hand-split granite blocks where the drilling shows along the edges of the stones.
Great to see, it reminds me of the stonework seen at home here in Scotland. Maybe not surprising as the northern Appalachian formation is shared with a lot of the geology in Scotland, all being part of the same geological formation a few 10's of millions of years ago.
No bears!? And here we were all worried about a few snakes and spiders.... amazing culverts. They just don't build em like they used to. Thank you for this very cool video!
Every vid from leeches to railroad to culverts is so interesting , Thanks post for broadening my mind x
One of my fav vids Post. You're making me want to go along some of the private tracks in NH to do exactly what your doing. Seems like an awesome idea for a hike!
Another very informative video , thank you. Watching from the UK🇬🇧🇬🇧
You amaze me with your knowledge.
You're like a forensic detective, it's not crimes that you investigate it's culverts and other interesting things.
Thank you for taking us with you on the hike, Post 10!
Great Video Post 10,
Loved the bridge with the stone gulley,
A very comprehensive talk about different sorts of culverts and their failings...😀👍🇬🇧
My home town changed our train tracks into a "Tanglefoot Trail" walking track that spans 3 counties. The main trains that deliver to my home town now run through the next town over, where I moved to and live now, and they're still running multiple times a day.
I love it when you include us in your adventure!
That was A LOT of work ! You sir, are a credit to us all.. : ]
Handsome, I'm glad you are letting us see more of you lately. ❤ Good to see you have more and more subscribers too.
I learned so much from this video.
Only buy tires for mileage you'll use within 3 years, nails used to be dated by year, the box culverts are best, new ones are made cheaply, the info on the trickling pool being a good thing for the drain, and probably a lot more. Just off the top of my head.
Who knew I was into culvert pipes, u learn something new everyday.
Thanks for another adventure!
That was awesome!!!! Imagine how far you could have gone on your bike!!! I live in maine and love to see other people showing off some of its beauty and history!!!
So relaxing to watch. Would be great to see it when the water is flowing in the spring. Hope April is doing Okay. Thanks for posting very enjoyable.
I love me some culverts ...keep it coming Mr Leech King Post 10. Your work is appreciated.
Nice little exploration, thanks for the tour!
