I Hope you all are doing well. Belated happy 2018!

I think what you need to mention is the reason there are ‘cave-ins’ is because it’s caused by ‘frost-heaves’, where the ground water comes through the brick work, freezes, and undermines the brick. In these explorations you should be wearing waterproof boots- maybe knee high boots!

I've lived across the road from these tunnels for the last 40 years. Up until hurricane Ivan (2004) you could walk through both tunnels without getting your feet wet. The flood waters washed away a lot of the dry parts of the tunnels. The cave ins all look the same as they did in the 80's when I first walked through them so what's left of them is probably fairly stable. I wouldn't go in the winter with the ice though.

Thank you for bringing me through these two train tunnels. You are a trooper getting your feet all wet, and making an excellent video.... I live in northwest in New Jersey and this train route was part of what they called The "Old Road" between Scranton PA, and Hoboken NJ , where they shipped the coal into Manhattan. This route was closed finally because it consisted of a lot of up and down grades, and curves, and also these tunnels, which slowed up the trains. From 1909 until it opened on December 24th 1911 they built the Lackawanna cutoff which replaced this section of the Old Road Track. It was 11 miles shorter and only has one tunnel in the town of Andover New Jersey. There are all kinds of videos about the Lackawanna cutoff and the Roseville tunnel on KZfaq. It was abandoned and the tracks were pulled up in 1984 but they are building the tracks back to Andover for passenger service. They are going to reopen the Roseville tunnel which has been abandoned since then. Thanks again for your video. I'll check out all the other ones when I have time.

Hi Chris thanks for getting wet feet for us the tunnels were awesome especially the ice sculptures!!

Dude you are in the same league as National Geographic. Excellent video as.usual. Its like Im there. Great job.

Damn I live 10mins from this place and never heard of it till this video Thank you for sharing.

"Ghosts guarding the tunnel entrance" ... your commentary is brilliant. It makes the video more interesting!

U got balls walking thru there alone dude lol great vid 👍

Born, raised, and still live in N.J. so found this extra interesting!! Love this is much, and those ice sculptures are amazing!!!! Thank you for your videos!

Waders would come in handy.

Fantastic video. I am so happy to see a young person interested in exploring and learning about old artifacts and our history - you are a rarity. Too much of our past is being ignored and left to be forgotten forever.

I’m enjoying your videos so much. I can’t travel much due to health problems. With the quality of your work I’m seeing some great places with a great tour guide! Thanks so much! Gotta say - the grandmother in me comes out sometimes and I get concerned for your safety.

An interesting thing to note is that the ad that showed up with the vid is for Mr.Rooter, a local plumbing company. From the looks of those tunnels, they could have used them. I don't think I've ever seen stalagmites of ice before, although I have found my forehead and the collar of my jacket with icicles. I laud your editing, if I'd been in that environment, language used (in several languages,) would definitely be NC17.

You've got guts mate, thanks for the show :)

He says trains last went through the Manunka Chunk tunnels in the early 1940's. Actually, freight trains used these tunnels until the late 1960's.

Great Video. Born and raised in Northern NJ. Now in Nevada. I do miss the history of my home state.

Yikes. You go above and beyond to give us great content.. big ups to you.

OMG..that ice is so awesome. I've seen food coloring added to some, you can't image how beautiful.

Chris this was an amazing video, I grew up in the area of the tunnels and explored the woods and trails all around the area and have found many cool abandoned places but had not gone to the tunnels yet but after seeing this I may have to make the trek.

Amazing video Chris. Sucks you got a soaker but congrats on fulfilling your desire to traversing both tunnels.

That is awesome and a little spooky

Really enjoyed your adventure. Looked eerie and cold but beautiful. It’s amazing how much colder the tunnels are than outside.i road through one on a rails to trails bike trip. You must have been freezing with wet feet. Thanks again!

Great find..I'm a yankee southern Jersey girl who now lives in NC.💜

Hard hat, waders, and a buddy in case anything went wrong.

This was really awesome!!! The fog definitely made it eerie in there. I can only imagine how cold that water was. That totally had to suck

Just awesome!! Thank you.

Your videos are something special. Exploration still exists

Nicely done! Brave lad. You pushed on despite wet freezing feet. Gotta admire your perseverance!

Amazing ice forms. It would be really interesting to see these form in time lapse photography. Many thanks for sharing

Wow that's some narrow gauge track! Looks like a pretty wet environment... The freezing and thawing of ice is never kind to rock!

Enjoy your explorations! Keep em coming.

This gave me anxiety... but it's super cool! Awesome find.

Another awesome video. Thanks and safe travels!

Love old train tunnels 😃 as always great vid and wishing you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year!

You're a brave man. Those damn tunnels look like they could collapse at any moment If someone so much as sneezed whilst inside. In fact I'm surprised they're even left open. Those ice formations were pretty cool though. I've never seen ice standing up like that. Great video as usual.

I love your videos, always so interesting. Was not expecting those icicles! Stay safe!

I really enjoyed the tour ... I end up with soak feet in some of my videos I love exploring these old abandoned places Take care

The tunnel with the track still in place was the last one used. The other bore was abandoned first.

Dude we have something in England called ‘Wellingtons’ 😂 they’d be perfect for your adventures! A stout pair of Hunter brand wellies. Love your videos and thanks for showing me America, fist bump from the UK extending out to you sir!

Ahhhh, MAN!!! Trains, tunnels, all that glorious URBEX stuff! LOVE IT!!!

That was risky but very exciting! The far end image looked like an eerie winter wonderland, with all the ice standing tall. I can only imagine how cold that water was. Thanks for taking us on your journey!

Looks amazing! Thanks for sharing!

Great video Chris ! I bet your feet are cold! You just created a time capsule for this old train tunnels !

If you're ever up in northwestern MA, look up the Hoosac Tunnel. Lots of history with it, still active, started being built in 1850, around the time this one was but much longer.

Very interesting. The ice was very cool. Great job.

I lived in Northern New Jersey the first 35 years of my life and never knew those tunnels existed. Great video!!! Perfect explore! Guess boots would have been better, but what the heck... fun is fun!

Those ice cycles are beautiful...

Thanks for the wet feet experience it reminded me of the time I got surrounded by the tide and had to wade through about two feet of incoming tide in winter at night because I walked too far out.I really enjoy your channel mate.I also like to explore

Wow man be careful. Love your videos👍

Really cool tunnels. Your channel is really good

This is a pretty sweet UrbanEx video. I think this tunnel would make an awesome mountain bike trail.

You are one brave soul to go through that! I would have been out of there once I hit water that went over my shoes. That was quite interesting. Thanks.

My grandfather just passed away this morning after fighting stage 4 liver cancer for six and a half years, which is the longest anyone has ever survived with it and the United States.

I live right across the river in pa from this and never heard of it. Will definitely go explore soon

great job as always

I grew up near here, and have old photos from a family friend taken in the way back, showing the entrance at a much better time. It would be cool if you could get access to the Oxford tunnel just a few miles away.

Nice vid, reminds of that walking dead episode with Glenn and Tara.

So crazy but beautiful. Great video!

Great video man! That’s really cool!

another great video thanks PS keep em coming

I would bet there is a stream or spring above that tunnel, which is likely the reason they had so much trouble with cave ins.

Another excellent video !!! You always manage to find such interesting places.

This is awesome, I enjoyed watching this.

Good one. Well it looks like you completed the 48 state circle. Congrats

Very cool... hope somebody knew that you were going there. If you break a leg in there you could be in big trouble. Very cool video. I am a quadriplegic from a spinal cord injury. So videos like this give me places that I could never get to. 👍🏻

As always awesome video. Scarry in a way. Very risky you going in there alone. Glad you made it out fine. Love your channel.

Incredible brick work ! Too bad it cant be preserved. I love this kind of exploring. Both my grandfathers were train engineers. Wonder if they rode through there? Thanks for sharing.....Rhino

Nice! I did similar in PA on vacation a few years ago. Not nearly as bad as those tunnels though.

Great vid nice ice shots.i explored tunnels in PA WV RI

Thanks for getting your feet wet to do the video - I appreciate the effort!

Very cool! Although I’m not sure I would have gone in there with you.

In thousands of years people will think this is a natural cave

Great Video. We were at Hot Dog Johnny’s Today and I was thinking of this place. I have always wanted to go through the tunnels, but now I do not need to. Thank you

Hey Chris..loved the video...West Milford, New Jersey is my home ..where is this train tunnel located? I'd love you to go exploring on Clinton Rd.. alot of history there..there was a Castle there.. don't know if it's still there or not

you explore more interesting odd ball places like i do but explore the history of it lightly and its cool cuz its still interesting to know these little areas and what the story is with these less explored parts of history that never are talked about all around us

Love your videos

It's too bad about the water and cave in problems as this would just be an incredible rails to trails ride!

First I thought, "Gee, I wish we were friends." You are SUCH an amazing guy.... Then I realized that we *are friends! One-sided but what the heck.

terrific video!

I'm amazed that you don't have more subs.

all those icicles look so pretty. you're brave. i would never go inside the tunnels. thank you for another great video. (PS, please consider wearing a hardhat next time.)

Well enjoyed thanks for sharing,

Check out Chuck Walsh's channel, he talks about the history of these tunnels in part 6. They were part of the "Old Road" before the DL&W built the Lackawanna (North Jersey) cutoff.

Very interesting video.

I went there in 2016, Uber neat spot

3:30 is a retainer wall. Had to do the same in a basement, at our old house.

Another great video! Is it weird to admit I was waiting for a scary clown to jump out? 😂

Are you a Tribe fan?? If so that's awesome! New to the channel and really enjoying your videos.

Maybe, weatherproof boots and waist high waterproof overalls would have helped today and other days, where they are needed. Thanks for the tours.

New subscriber. Great interesting content. Thanks

very cool..WELL DONE

Great vid! I have to ask, why didn't you wear waders? Or at least gumboots (wellingtons)?

Now go do Oxford haha,great job man you got bigger balls than me!!!

that was a really cool ice formation

This looks like the setting from one of the Fallout games, also, shouldve brought rubber boots ;)

I would be afraid of a brick falling on one's head, other then that this is really cool!

Awesome video

Wow this is cool. I would be scared to go in hehe ❤️

I don't think I could do this!! Please be careful especially being alone down there!!! Very interesting though! Pat
