Must Watch!!!! Freight Elevator JCPenney Cielo Vista Mall

This is the 10,000 pound freight elevator at JCPenney at Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso, TX. This is an original Emco with automatic doors. The doors and the gates open and close at the same time. I think they are Peelee doors. Straight from 1974. This elevator will never be modernized. I called and asked. A rare find for a store. I had authorization to look at it. I misunderstood the manager when he said i cant ride it. Well, i did, but he stopped me at 1. I got a little of the outside fixtures and a great view of the inside fixtures. I did say classmates cause he might have heard me when it was just leaving the floor. I said its for a school project. Luckily, i didn't sneak on it, cause i would have been busted. On 1, it opens right in front of the docks and by the employee lounge. AND NO RETAKES ON THIS ONE.

@elevatortimes: Did you get kicked out of it?

Well, the manager did say not to ride it. I did have authorization by the manager to look inside it. He just said after the video was over that i could have gotten hurt inside. And i said im sorry about that. He said thats fine and let me go.
