Your still shots at the end are train museum quality, love those! The drone footage was awesome, too! Really cool how you integrated old stills of the colliery to show what it all used to look like, combined with your detective skills at following the rail trail, hunting for old abutments. Some favorite moments: Having fun with your bike jumping hills of coal silt; Climbing up on an old abutment (where you scared the bird, lol!) to get a view of the river and to see across; and my favorite zen moment: the water's edge shot, to let us hear the lovely sound of gently rushing water over the rocks. Excellent video!! And no snakes!😃Thanks for bringing us along!💙

At 18:00, on this same line upstream about 1.1 miles in a straight line, there was another trestle. The abutment is still intact (on the same side as this one is) while the abutment on the opposite side of the river is at ground level now. You can still see some blocks in the sand and the river. About .2 miles further there is yet another two abutments that are neat looking because they went across the other rr tracks at an angle. That trestle also looked more massive than the 1904 one. Also, this line went under 81 but it was filled in with rock about 30 years ago.

That little toy was Edna off the Incredibles movie 😊. I swear you are a wealth of information. So much history in your state. I am fascinated with the coal mining and RR industries because of my family ancestors. I wish I knew more about my German ancestors who were miners there in Pennsylvania. They moved from Pennsylvania into Virginia, West Virginia and Tennessee. It blows my mind how you can immediately sense historical architecture is tied to the RR or coal industry. Beautiful photos as usual. ✌

At 54:48, the fence was the property boundary line. There hasn't been any trains across that bridge in probably about 5 years. You could have went across. When the river depth gauge is at about 2 feet, the depth under the bridge is about 5 to 6 feet deep. I just saw kids jumping from the bridge on 6/6/2023. The fence used to go to the bridge. You can still see some of it there. The recycling center put a pipe in, that's why they had to remove part of the fence. All the "leachate" from the cans and bottles drains into the river. Sometimes it smells really bad here and on the trail. Did you smell anything? You did miss a building that's still up-the fan house. Maybe you can go up on top of the conveyor belt bridge and film the fan house too. The elevator shaft is still there also and part of the tunnel that went to the breaker.

I think it was lined with concrete and had pipes in it. There is a similar one still there at the Underwood Colliery.

Back in the 80's & 90's this area used to be a hot spot for ATV & Dirt Bike riders who would 'Climb' the Marvine and for the spectators who would come just for the party atmosphere. That all changed when a significant amount of culm was transported by rail a few miles east to Archbald, PA to be burned in a Cogeneration Power Plant which sat on the site of the former Gravity Slope Breaker.

As an Roller Coaster Enthusiast and Theme Park Junkie, I hope some Roller Coaster Manufacturers like, Vekoma, or MACK could probably duplicate these bridges to run on and model their trains for their Family Mine Coasters after Battery Powered Mine Locomotives, Built in the 1910's through early 40's including Greensburg's Battery Powered Mine Locomotives built by the Greensburg Machine Company of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. However, RMC should get involved in building Family Mine Coasters as well, and they could probably duplicate their trains after Battery Powered Mine Locomotives built by any manufacturer.
