Secret Cave With A 1000' Elevator

[Just_A_Simple_Time_Traveller]

Imagine being the driver of that train, driving through some dark tunnel and suddenly seeing some Heads looking out a hole

that can of Mountain Dew at 1:51 is what's holding that whole cave up.

Man how do you squeeze into such random tiny gaps and know there's a big ass tunnel on the other side? Watching that gives me anxiety

For those curious, this is a cave that was opened in 1930s for tours, closed in 2005. There is also a cave above (about 200ft) that takes tours to this day. The top cave was found on accident as the guy was drilling in search of this cave here in the video. In 1920s they built the train tunnel that covered the natural entrance that was around since the ice age. Fast forward now, and Soot and smoke from the trains polluted this cave and was deemed unsafe. This cave he is in now is famous, and has been around since the ice age, with bones found dating back to millions of years ago. I’m local to this. Didn’t want to give any names of the cave in case the poster didn’t want it out.

There was a time that when these caves would be found on private property and the land owner would open them up to tourism hoping to make money, adding pathways, lighting, ladders, etc. Looks like what you found is just that, an old tourist location. Owners would actually compete for tourists and advertise. If they found their cave linked to a neighboring cave, they'd collapse/block the tunnel so the neighbor couldn't use "their" cave system for visitors. You'd never get away with that now, given the lawsuits that would come through injury.

The people in that train: perfectly normal until they look outside and see 2 bright lights pretruding out of a hole in the ground

[NonnofYobiznes]

This is what I used to imagine while reading Enid Blytons adventure books.

This an ancient underground river and it has geological signs of having been it all over. Probably became an tourist attraction and was exploited = The explanation for the elevator.
