The Gateway Arch is nothing short of a masterpiece of engineering. I adore this place. I would love to take the steps in here. Could you imagine the view of the elevator system as it passes by? That would be a sight.
What a unique elevatoring system! Reminds me of as another commenter in a video said, like a Wonkavator or something out of Evangelion in a way (surrounded by long pathways of twisting stairs and steel). Will have to visit some day! Thanks for recording in HQ.
When I think of the St Louis Arch, I think of the song "Curvature" by Pansy Division. There is a line in the song that mentions the St Louis Arch. Are you a fan of Pansy Division's music? Whether you are a fan or not, one fact stands in place. DieselDucy YOU are the top elevator channel on UA-cam. I really enjoyed this video. I never knew how the elevator system operated inside of the Big Arch. Now I do. DieselDucy your videos are absolutely fascinating. That is because YOU are a fascinating man.
Video quality is very good. I watched your videos of this system from over ten years ago and I’m amazed that you can better see what’s outside the doors of each car in the tram.
One day, Andrew, you should add to your bucket list the unique curved elevator at the New Town Hall in Hanover, Germany. Very much reminds me of this system
That was a magnificent amazing adventure love the ride on that elevator and the great views of St. Louis. I am aware that this is the area you were born in
EPIC "elevator" system! What a wonderful piece of engineering. I noticed that there is a separate, more conventional elevator in the lower part of the arch, I guess no visitors are allowed, but it would be nice if someone can get access to it, it also looks interesting, with its inclined shaft. We can see its motor at 3:20 Would be so cool if you ask to show us this "tram" system behind the scenes, and that separate elevator.
They're going to build an office building/apartment building/hotel in downtown Toronto that's about the same height as the Gateway arch; it's going to be about 95 floors! I wonder how fast those elevators are going to be?
@@jacobisworld9516 It's the "Old Courthouse." It's now only used for historical purposes. The Dred Scott cases were held there, if you're familiar with those.
Imagine building the Gateway Arch today with the ADA laws... These are really cool, but I won't be able to visit it due to this place being not wheelchair friendly!

I would love to see behind the scenes here. This is amazing
Thank you for the video! Great to see what it looks like inside
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the comment 😃

It was amazing!
I remember when I used to watch this channel years ago
It hasn’t changed ❤
Hope you will watch again 😃😃😃
@@DieselDucy yes i will definitely 👍
@@DieselDucy I still remember when you did a collab with a boy called Daniel Roanoke.
I love these elevators!!! They reminded me of a wonkavator.
They are totally amazing.
The only thing missing is the up and out button
I’ve always wanted to go up there.
It is awesome
I’ve always wanted to go up in there
They are amazing
1:57 I did notice another elevator (the cable) when moving up and moving down. I wonder if it is a service elevator.

Nice video of the day.❤🎉.

Thanks. I used an iPhone 13 Pro Max with a Shure microphone.

I’d love to
Hey Andrew. Thanks for taking us for a ride to the arch - very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for coming along!
This is still an iconic elevator and it’s pretty cool!
Only one like it in the world
These are nothing short of cool! Also, I remember these in 2011 having concrete doors.
They are epic. Totally
Very cool elevator system. One of those things i wish i can see.
It was awesome
That was a magnificent amazing adventure love the ride on that elevator and the great views of St. Louis. I am aware that this is the area you were born in
Thanks for coming along!
Wow it’s so cool but I was Springfield St Louis and I lived in Cassville and other I bought my white van at home
Thanks for watching 😊
Seems a lot faster going down. Pretty fascinating
It goes right to full speed going down. Going up once it is vertical it goes to full speed.
Never even realized you could go up the Gateway Arch- I thought it was simply a big art piece.
Yes you can. I did it in 2010.
It is quite an experience.

I would love to go behind the scenes however even as big as I am on UA-cam I’m still pretty much a peon in the grand scheme of things 😒
Diesel Ducy I would love to know what kind of elevator drive system is on the "other" elevator. Not the tram one. Thanks.

That is huge.
they should be very fast.
Hey Andrew thanks for that information 10:22
You see that every day it’s not new
It’s my out to.
Very cool
Thanks
I love my new Dieselducy iPhone case that i got for Christmas
Awesome. Thanks for getting one.
@@DieselDucy your welcome
Omg I remember you riding this a long time ago
Yep. Back on my t1 😃
Real life wonkavator lol the only thing missing is the up and out button
It was cool
Cool video! Interesting how they call this a “tram”.
I know, right?
So can you walk up the arch too or is that just people entering the pod elevators? I know of course staff could.
Yeah the steps sadly are for emergency use only.
that is neat
Thanks
They look fun. I’ve never seen you having to sit in an elevator.
They are tiny.
Hey, it was presented on CBS Sunday Morning!
I personally wouldn't consider riding it myself, though.
It is an amazing system.
I've seen many videos of this system before
Cool!
5:30 That’s Looks Like The State Capital Building But It’s Not.
It does but is not.
@@DieselDucy well what is that?
@@jacobisworld9516 It's the "Old Courthouse." It's now only used for historical purposes. The Dred Scott cases were held there, if you're familiar with those.
i want to go one day
You should!
If you ever go to Six Flags Over Texas ride the Texas Sky Screamer
Awesome. I will
Is this still the original Montgomery elevator system from the 1960s?
Modded
So much nope. But thanks for showing the elevator.
Your welcome 🤗
It's stl arch ride time with Zack
I hope you had a good Christmas Brandon
😡😡😡😡😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😡😡
@@Jack-zd7rvI did
@@BrandondHasty did you get want you wanted for Christmas
Yep
Nice video of the day.❤🎉. 0:19 .❤🎉. 0:27 .
Thanks! 😃
I’ve been to the Gateway Arch with my mom and my aunt in June of 2023 that summer when I saw Charlie Puth in Concert.
Awesome
Imagine building the Gateway Arch today with the ADA laws...
These are really cool, but I won't be able to visit it due to this place being not wheelchair friendly!
With the laws today it probably would not be able to be built.
Or perhaps it'd be built as a solid arch with no observation deck
absolutley horrible and hideous elevators but the views are nice i liked the old portion of these i use to visit this place i 2002
It is quite the experience.
@@DieselDucy it was in 2002
It's my birthday today
Happy birthday! You have any plans?
Happy bday.
Happy birthday
These are so weird lol
They are they really are.
@@DieselDucy Lol!
Sorry a rude person was with you
Um nobody rude was with me at all.
