What's BENEATH this Abandoned Lehigh Valley Railroad bridge?

Back in December I documented this location and discovered multiple lines came through here and we followed the rail bed for a good distance, but it was the multiple Abandoned bridges that caught my attention.

I vowed to return in the warmer months to investigate the waters because it appears that some rail infrastructure might be submerged below the surface. I also learned that something else existed here long before the rails were installed.

To learn more about this area and more importantly to see what I found, just tune in Monday night.

BIG BOY 4014 VISIT (Details on my plan & locations)

06/06/2026

How many actually realize what's beneath the surfaces we walk, drive, and live atop of here in Pennsylvania...?

Did you know there's a hidden underground city beneath much of northeastern Pennsylvania? If you've been following my channel for any length of time it should be no suprise that underground are hundreds of miles of tunnels, shafts & rooms that were once the place so many men spent long days in to earn a living.

Working 12 hr shifts, going into work before light, working in dark conditions and returning home after the sun set is a life that wasn't easy and the reward was very little, but that was life for many immigrants and locals who were needed for the demand of anthracite coal.

Fortunately for us here in northeast Pennsylvania, there's ways to learn about the world of coal mining with not one, but 4 coal mine tours. Out of the 4, one stands apart because you decend 1,300ft down a slope where you end up 300ft below the surface.

The Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour was my first ever coal mine tour as a kid and no matter how many times I've been here, the tour never gets old or boring. This time I brought a friend who never did the tour before and I'm also focusing on showing areas that often aren't seen due to the distant or dark conditions that are encountered in the mines.

If you've ever wondered what a working underground coal mine was like, this is a fantastic way to find out and if you're ever in the area, I highly recommend the tour.

It's been a few years, but I went back underground...!

As many of you know, I have a passion for the coal mining world, especially the history of it. That includes what is left today above ground and below. This location is one that probably peaked my curiosity of mining as a kid and it's a place I always seem to keep coming back to.

In this upcoming video we'll take a look at a hidden world beneath the surface where the tunnels run for miles and the veins of coal that were mined still exist today.

Tune in Friday night for this awesome look at Anthracite coal mining.

What is it Wednesday?

A Google Find location that I filmed last year brought me back to this area. Apparently I missed something and if it wasn't for the viewers, I never would have known it.

My original Google find was a body of water near the turnpike that was once part of a farm and later on used for a coal mining company nearby. A follow up visit after that documented the ruins of that mining company, but I didn't see everything in that area.

Several viewers told me of a tunnel or passageway that goes under the turnpike and it's not far from that body of water. Not knowing what to look for, I headed out on instinct and with some luck, I found it.

After finding that, we head back to do a quick visit of the mining site that I documented late 2025, but I did end up on some unfamiliar trails and needed GPS to get me back on track.

To see what this culvert passageway is like and for a quick revisit on the mining site, just click the link in the comments.

Last year I documented a new rail trail that was a bit strange and bizarre because there was no official access to it. It's located in Laurel Run right by Seven tubs and although it was completed, people were confused on where to access it.
Well it was announced that it's finally going to connect and be part of a longer trail system going to Mountain Top, PA.

Ground was broken Wednesday on a major stretch of trail that will eventually connect 165 miles of trail from Wilkes-Barre to the Philadelphia suburbs.

My curiosity got to me and I had to find out where this goes...

On a recent adventure I noticed an area of trails that I've never been on before, but I was curious not only where they go, but if there's anything hiding along them.

I did come across some rail history which may require a winter return and a beautiful section of water that may be worth visiting this summer.

Aside from exploring, I was also here to put a pretty awesome moto ebike through it's paces to see what it can do.
A small section of the video is dedicated to covering the bike, but the rest is exploring the area.
