Filmed on July 4, 2018: located in College Station, TX. This elevator has kind of seen better days since I first rode it. Outside doors got heavier and the car gate near the COP (control operating panel) wasn't shut properly is why the elevator wouldn't move. Thankfully, this thing still runs great although it was a little low on oil during the second ride. Just I gotta say, this is BY FAR one of the MOST HEAVIEST manual doors I had ever operated in my whole entire life on a freight elevator!!!! Never came across any freighters with manual doors that are this heavy. I had to set the camera down and use both hands in order for me to open and close the doors. See how hard I wrestled around with them in this video! Installed in 1972.
