Amazing footage. It’s nuts to me thinking that within a decade of this footage it’d be SD45s coming out, and Amtrak not long after. It all changed so quickly.

Nice footage of the NYC railroad! My 2nd favorite fallen flag railroad of all time, besides the B&O railroad, which is my 1st favorite fallen flag railroad of all time! Awesome! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅🦅🚂🚂🚂🚂

Good stuff

Great compilation. Thanks.

Cool video, well done!

The B&O P-7 president class 👌

B & O= Best and Only

The film jumps up and down.

I love seeing the L-3 and L-4 Mohawks on passenger duty instead of freight.

These must have been the last weeks of steam.

Film from about 5:00 to 6:00 looke more liked being filmed around 1949-50 rather than '56. I am using the cars parked by the track as reference.

9:04 qué Hermosa Locomotora.

Dios!... qué hermosas y Gloriosas Máquinas, donde quedaron ? , deberían tener un Lugar especial sólo para ellas, son parte importante de la Historia, gracias.

Excellent video, Thanks for presentation, from Germany

Surprising that the color didn't fade. Some remastering and you have a great new video.

Thanx

Great vid, Been to Bellefontaine many times.

I thought the NYC retired all steam east of Indiana by 1954.

Great footage. It's interesting how what was once just routine movies becomes a historical record. And with platforms like this, it can be shared with the world.

I wonder what happened to all the steel ?

Can someone tell where the streetrunning at the end was?

Such great footage, thank you so much for uploading!

Fantastic footage!! Thank you so much for posting!

Sure woulda been awesome ear candy at 24:45

Those behemoth steam engines look heavier than any contemporary diesel locomotive.

This is awesome. I live in Bellefontaine. My grandfather worked at the Bellefontaine yard. None of it is recognizable anymore except for a couple of run down buildings. The property is all grown over with weeds and trees. There is, however, a passenger platform still visible where the train station used to be at Chilicothe and Columbus Ave crossings.

Steam Action on the Railroads.

Was only 4years old in 1955 when my mom tookme from Cincinnati to Louisiana to visit her family! Saw just a hint of the L&N diesel type we rode behind, in the "Hummingbird"

Stellar footage of steam engines at Union Terminal Cincinnati. Thank you!!!!

Love this! I was 4 years old In 1955, rode the Hummingbird to Louisiana with my mom!

I love this action! Wish I saw it in person.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

A wonderful time machine to a great age of last steam and early diesel locomotives!

It's awesome seeing 3001's sisters

Nice shot of N&W 613 at 10:40 :)

I've seen you have captured Pennsy J1's in the other video of yours, and did we really had Santa Fe 2-10-4 Steamers here in the Greater Cincinnati Area?

2:21 Louisville & Nashville Bug Emma Locomotive #1960 departs Cincinnati Union Station with the passenger train.

8:46 Santa Fe Texas #5018 was backing down to it's train to couple on.

The Reading Iron Horse Rambles (1959-1964)

Steam Actions.

Every year from 1951 to 1959 my parents put me on a train from Silver Springs, Md to Cincinnati where my grandmother Brown would meet me. She would then take me to the train that would take me to Bellefontaine, Ohio where my Grandmother Sloan would meet the train and I would spend my summer vacation between Btown and Indian Lake. What a fantastic time I had. Then before school started I would take the reverse trip back to Md. Noone would even think of putting an 8 year old boy on a train for a trip through 3 states by themselves. Things have sure changed!!

So cool to see the G3 in service! Now THAT'S a Pacific! I can just imagine waiting at the station for a G3-led pass train and hearing her Reading 6 chime whistle echoing in the distance!

Just stumbled upon this KZbin channel and LOVE the videos. Yes no sound but I love steam and wish I could have been a train engineer in the 1930s or 40s such a time with great history

Great footage! Particularly like that it is silent, and that the silence has not been ruined by some pointless soundtrack. It's also a sure cure for insomnia! Ten minutes of this was all I needed to drift off to solid slumber!

Well now that was some nice rare footage of PRSL in Philadelphia thanks for sharing those rare moments 👍

Excellent rare footage! So this is mainly RDG & PRR steam backing into PRSL trains at 30th St then heading over the Schuylkill. 1st time I've seen this!

Cool

Great footage,thanks for posting

Awesome glad to see footage of when 5307 was in operation. I have a MTH Premier Model of the engine. I do have a question I know this engine was involved in a derailment but does anyone know how it happened?
