Salem Bottom Drive Winding Drum Traction Elevator (Trap Door/Sidewalk Elevator) AMAZING!

[pooppantsli]

What's with the little kiddy choochoo train at the beginning. And what's with the fucking elevator videos? You rode the short bus, didn't you? How about you find a better hobby than wasting energy and being a fucking dumbass.

@pooppantsli How about you find a better hobby and not call people offensive names for being unique!

[pooppantsli]

@rc100692 Being unique? Is that what you call a stupid shit with dirty fingernails and a child's mentality?

[rc100692]

@pooppantsli Stop being a jerk. Yes everyone's different. There's nothing wrong with being into elevators. Get over yourself.

[mike4ty4]

@pooppantsli And you just spouting insults all over this forum is OK?

[Krissinator]

That is amazing!

[skylerandcub]

Awesome find!  Would not want to be standing on those doors with the elevator coming up.

[maalit72]

[itzik200]

[garfieldandfriends1]

Is sidewalk elevator a old thing?

It look like the future to me.

[Balarick]

unusual location for an elevator. mostly they are in larger rooms.

[migette1]

Never fail to surprise me with your finds, hope this remains preserved real bit of history thanks Andrew

[papayabba]

that is future!

[beckwithelevatorman]

I thought it would go up to a storage room so it surprised me to see it end behind the counter of the store.

@FuckElevators2

[NovioSites]

Amazing...

[an65001]

This the first MRL Traction elevator, invented by SALEM, NOT KONE! :D

[nidokingthefirst]

Here we go! UP AND OUT!

[SchindlerHaughton]

Very cool elevator. how old is it?

[force311999]

you can see at 6:49 there was a gate on the top at one time as there are spots for the hinges on the frame

[force311999]

would he show you the safe that would be cool

there used to be a hardware store in spencerport NY that was a 1925 bank

and it still had the safe and it was a work of art for 1925 and it was still used by the store for the store cash etc

[elevatortimes]

This is so cool!!!!!! I would love to ride that. And this is in Roanoke? If it is, then u got a lucky elevator to ride anytime.

[skylerandcub]

Wow! That thing is awesome.

[elevatorfan1231]

Sorry I meant videos

[elevatorfan1231]

Hey I just started filming elevators I am from the St.Louis area and I just wanted to know of you could watch my voss and tell me if they are good enough and tell me a few good tips for elevator filming. Thanks!!!!

[CaptainElevator42189]

Incredible elevator, and I guess this is how the bank guards/employees took the containers/bags of money down to the vault.

[dieselducy]

@CaptainElevator42189 You are right, They used to use the elevator to carry cash and change due to the fact that it was very heavy.

[CaptainElevator42189]

Indeed, I revealed the sole purpose of this elevator when the building was a bank.

[crackerms0100]

Most of the Trap Door/Sidewalk Elevator is seen on TV but not anymore

[elev8m8]

[matthewtchernev123]

[matthewtchernev123]
