That "tunnel" is actually a drainage culvert designed to allow water to safely pass under the railroad bed without washing it away. Today we might use large corrugated pipes or prestressed concrete units. But the way they did it back then was certainly much more picturesque. That water seeping through the stones, caused by that damming you found will eventually undermine the foundation of that beautiful structure and cause it to collapse. Even though the tracks are abandon, it's a shame that whoever is responsible for the property doesn't do a little maintenance to keep that channel clear. One day's worth of clean up, and those stones would last another hundred years.

The water trough you found might be the remnant of the trough that started behind what is now the high school, but higher up the hill. Water was pumped out of the mine and into the trough. Water in the trough ran down the hill and underground around the old community center. Not sure where it came out at the river.

I grew up in Buffalo NY but my mother's family came from Nanticoke Pa. When I was very young (early 1950's) she took me on a train trip from Buffalo on the DL&W to visit her aunts. My father worked for NYC so I grew up around railroads and still find them fascinating and am very interested in the history. On later trips to PA my cousins would take us hiking along the rail lines around Nanticoke, Plymouth, and the Susquehanna River. That area was a hotbed of railroad activity in the 1960s when a lot of the anthracite coal mines were still operating.

He loved trains, too. I have never ridden on a train, but have always wanted to. Not Amtrak, but the older models, especially those from the 1800's like I've seen in movies and on TV growing up.

I miss the sound of trains. I know there are a few left but it would be so cool if they would put more trains in service for people to travel on. My mom took us on a train when I was little and it is a memory that still makes me smile. Idea for ya: Can you take us through old forgotten factories? Kids now days have no idea what kind of jobs were out there for our Grandfathers and family members. My dad was a steel worker as was my grandfather and my uncles. The factory was torn down years ago but I know there are still old factories rusting away. Let kids see how cement blocks are made. Fences, plastics, bricks. Kids don't have any idea where these items come from. Hope I didn't overwhelm you.

I lived in Wanaque-Midvale, NJ when I was a kid, and the Erie Railroad came into my hometown. This was the terminus of the Greenwood Lake Branch of the Erie Railroad. In 1960, the Erie Railroad merged with the DL&W Railroad, and became the Erie Lackawanna Railroad. There was a rail yard, passenger station, and a steel trestle over the Wanaque River, not far from where I lived. The railroad abandoned passenger service in 1966, and the Greenwood Lake Branch ceased operation. The tracks, rail yard, station, and the steel trestle are all gone now. Someone could think that a railroad never existed here, but the Erie Railroad will always exist in my nostalgic memory. I'll always remember the big E on the front of the diesel electrics. We used to call this the Big E.

I can totally dig the fascination with old rail stuff. Such a robust interconnected system to move people and goods; it’s quite difficult and expensive to totally eradicate all traces of an old railroad. Something will always be left behind. Whether it’s abandoned stations, trackage, right of ways, open cuts, bridges, tunnels, ties, retaining walls, or footings. Something is always left behind to be found. My focus is on NYC and the surrounding areas. More specifically Jersey City. The water front is where the bulk of the eastern most railroads terminated. Jersey city and Hudson county was a major convergence point for many old rail systems coming from the west so there is much to be found if you know where to look. Digging up info on the Erie railroad and Bergen Arches (Erie Cut) bought me to this video.

Those rails were manufactured by Carnegie Steel Company in Pittsburgh in 1929. Carnegie Steel Company was founded by Andrew Carnegie. In 1901 Andrew Carnegie sold the company to US Steel, but the company kept its name until 1936 when it was renamed Carnegie-Illinois Steel Company. It is internationally common to name manufacturer and date on rails, like: „Donnawitz 1950“ (Donnawitz was a Steel Company in Austria, now Voest Alpine). Cool video! Greetings
