Hearted Youtube comments on IT'S HISTORY (@ITSHISTORY) channel.

  1. As a kid I loved my dad’s Lionel train model of Hells Gate. Got a chance to ride over it a while back. My mom lives in CT now. We went into the city for the day 👋

  4. It really is a stunning structure. Even in its decayed and vandalized state the structure stands tall. I think it should be preserved and perhaps even refurbished.

  5. I’ve been inside that.

  8. Now I'm 60 and thought I'd known for 40 years that I really liked Art Deco best of era/styles. I love seeing pics of modern buildings with Model-Ts parked outside. (Of course, there were several sleek vehicles by 1924 too.) I'm still good with Art Deco interiors. On favorite ext. architecture, I drew the line at right at the edge of Art Moderne. "Depression Era Art Deco" That's the style I've always preferred. Somehow, I've never heard this term, but I am on Aricept. Thanks as always for entertaining and teaching.

  9. All in all that was a great recap You should mention though I don't know amendment something along those lines that the monument to George Westinghouse is not in Westinghouse Park It's in schenley Park in panther hollow across from the Phipps conservatory. Westinghouse Park is it 7501 Thomas boulevard. I drive past it everyday on my way from our apartment building in the 6700 block to construction junction to drop off recycling... All in all though well done sir

  10. I remember going to the drive-in in Lebanon PA. I was between 6 and 10 so I don’t remember what was playing. I do remember falling asleep in the back of the station wagon. 😂

  15. Theres a show on automotive history and they talked about the GM executives competing in building the sky scrapper with chrysler if I remember I think it was because of ford and dodge brothers leaving them building their first automobile then partnering with with walter chrysler. Dodge at tge time was ahead of ford. GM then had a new competetor and I believe they lost.

  16. Thank you again for the Midwest. This one is about 40 miles away and a disaster.

  17. Can I have one, I promise I'll take care of it!

  18. Love the Hell Gate Bridge! If you take any Amtrak train north/east of New York City, be sure to sit on the left side of the train for spectacular views of the skyline as you climb the approach. There's a reason Amtrak loves taking publicity photos of its Northeast Corridor trains on the bridge. I'm not sure you could call its accommodation of rail traffic exclusively a "flaw" of the bridge. Sure, it sees less traffic now than when it was built, but it still sees plenty of trains. In fact, it could be getting busier in the near future when the completion of the East Side Access project at Grand Central would allow Metro North to reroute some New Haven Line trains to Penn Station via the bridge. I'd be interested to see how they would have incorporated road traffic into the bridge. The two approaches are extremely long to keep the incline slight enough for main line heavy rail. This and the fact it cuts through Queens without regard to the street grid would make building access ramps a challenge. The bridge's structure would also seem to preclude adding a second deck. It's a moot point now as the Triborough Bridges parallel the Hell Gate closely.

  21. I grew up in the Delaware wedge which is also interesting in its own right, the construction of RT.1 which was needed hurt a lot of the smaller communities south of the canal.

  22. You have an unusual grasp of history sir. Thank you for several videos.

  23. A truley unique video was captured on the pennsy in southern ohio. Shot at the very last days before the conrail transfer, the engineer brought his home movie camara aboard the E he was driving from Columbus to Cincinnati and back over what is now mostly hike/bike trail.

  24. One of my favorite hats has PRR on it, I also have a bunch of N Scale locomotives including the GG1 all with PRR markings, you could do a hole video just on the history of the GG1 electric locomotive.

  29. I am sure five guys from Norway; Olav, Sverre, Oscar, Helmer and Roald, sat on a pole way back in 1911 on the 14th of December... can't be too sure exactly what time it was though - I think they stayed on that pole for a few days

  30. Love this place! Always notice something new every time I go.

  31. This was really interesting to me because I'm from PA, but the other half that is like a completely different state. I don't know if you've done one on the Reading Terminal in Philly, Baldwin locomotive works, the Reading Outer Station, or other places in SEPA lost to time. I had no idea there was so much history in this area, like the events that occurred in nineteen ninety eight when the undertaker threw mankind off hell in a cell and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcers table.

  32. Fascinating history of the NYC subway that deserves a full-fledged documentary. One with interviews with residents who used these long forgotten parts of the subway. I want to know so many more details and with pictures, and even any archival film footage. I wouldn't be surprised if people had personal film and photos of the subway. My dad carried his film and 8mm cameras with him everytime our family did a trip locally or on a road trip in California. I'm sure people did that in NYC, too.

  33. Amazing video, Thank you. BTW not thousands but millions of immigrants have passed by the statue of liberty

  34. Another Great One that I knew absolutely nothing about prior to watching this. Well Done 👏

  35. This gives me so much nostalgia. I grew up going to this park all the time. Flushing-Meadows park is easily one of my favorite parks in the city.

  36. Wow this was fricken amazing! I walked right into a wall... lol never knew you could do this, had to pull my vr glasses out of the box.

  37. I work in these places sometimes and I’m amazed at how hidden they are

  38. I have a lot of fond memories of Capitola. I once lived within walking distance of the Capitola Village, one of the sweetest places on Planet Earth.

  40. I toured her when I was a teenager. It was a fascinating experience and it’s so sad to see her in this condition.

  41. 2:51-the Hudson does not empty into Hell Gate. Also, very few people would travel from Wards Island. Perhaps escapees from the mental hospital.

  42. I used to love riding through lower Wacker as a kid and then would drive it myself as soon as I got my license. I remember trying to impress some girls by taking them on a tour and taking the curves kinda fast, when the power steering belt on my moms minivan went!

  43. Lemme tell you I absolutely love this channel…. Wow! Keep it up!!!

  44. You should definitely look into the Ford motor plant superfund site in mahwah, nj and the negative effects it had on natives in Stag Hill. Worth a shot to just check ya know 👍.

  45. Great video Ryan. Thank you for the history. I remember going to a few Cubs game as a kid. Coming from SW Michigan it was always a treat to go to Chicago. The games were fun to go to, listening to Harry Cary sing ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’ at 7th inning stretch and waiting for what seemed to be hours getting out of the tight parking lot and getting back on I-94 to go home.

  46. Good Evening Professor Socash, again great info about the World's Fair in New York 1939 and going to watch the one about 64 Worlds Fair, thanks again have a great evening....

  47. My Grandfather Charles W Hostetler was a Conductor for the P.R.R. Enola Yard near Harrisburg to Altoona yard and back to Enola from 1941 to 1977

  48. Train Numbers and Locomotive Numbers are different.... Any locomotive can power a assigned train. E.g Train 173, titled "Federal Express" was Power that day by GG-1 #4876. They didn't leave Train number 173 in the floor, they left the locomotive 4876 under the floor because they couldn't removed her in time and remove the rest of the consist, the passenger cars, away.

  49. It’s very oryginal perspective on Chicago.
