The Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike Tunnels: History and Exploration

I'm a big fan of the PA turnpike. It's easily one of the best I've driven. Thanks for the content.

When I was a kid in the 50s we went thru all the tunnels and it was the most fun part of the trip.

I remember those tunnels on vacation with my parents in the old station wagon. I also remember those little tiny buildings that looked really cool look like they’d be a really fun place to visit and they showed movies XXX I remember asking my mother and father if we could go and my mother had a meltdown and then she had another meltdown when I ask her what is XXX does that mean they’re really good movies. they were all over the Pennsylvania Turnpike. I also think that Pennsylvania has the world’s best tasting springwater there used to be places right on the turnpike you could pull over and they had a great big giant metal pipe coming all the way down the side of the mountain and people lined up to get a drink and fill jugs up The water was ice cold if you drink it too fast to give you a headache on a hot summer day,,,now it’s probably not safe.

Nice job!Keep up the good work!

Well done, intelligent. You did your research which gives you more credibility as a content creator.

Would be nice to see it as an active (and preserved) trail.

take a shot every time he says railroad

The turnpike is in my backyard.....thanks for this video! Love it!

The graffiti is both a blessing and a curse there I visit and bike usually twice a year

Interesting

Thank You Thank You Thank You for saying outright that you don't condone the Graffiti. I'm so sick of how bad it had gotton since my first visit in March 2013. If you watch my 2 videos of my 2013 trip it looks so much nicer and even back then I thought there was way to much graffiti. Love your video great research and video of the Abandoned Pennsylvania Turnpike.

Is that we’re the film _the road _was filmed ?

East broad top,,, we used to go there too it was a place where you could ride a real steam train or a trolley and they had a little town fixed up like it was 160 years ago in the past it was a lot of fun I don’t even know if it’s still around now. we used to love to go there

Well I think we should get under a shade tree and kick back and I’ll have a bottle of birch beer soda and we can talk about it lol

Why did the designers of the Pennsylvania Turnpike think that two lane tunnels could handle a four lane highway?

😂 People think the appalachian "mountains" are high and or steep?? LOL that's cute, try coming out west to the Rock mountains or to the mountains of the pacific northwest!

Nothing on centrialia

Why did they drop the turnpike tunnels in the first place ????

This guy talks to much.
