In 1964 we rode from Vancouver, B.C. to Durand Michigan

Incredible industrial machines as well as the hardworking crews that operated and maintained them. If these were still operating today, the modern safety standards might mandate that: 1) The operators on the Huletts and the personnel inside of the ship's hold would likely be required to wear masks or respirators due to the fine dust floating during the loading/unloading process. 2) hot light bulbs 2:45 that can be touched would be forbidden; LEDs would be the norm. 3) At 7:03, riding the roof of a moving Hulett might ether be forbidden or would requirie the wearing of a safety harness.

What happened to the San Manuel Arizona Railroad ore freight train?

Great enjoyed this thank you

Спасибо! Прекрасное видео. Это не только сохранение исторического наследия, но и работа для людей. Компьютер под голубыми небесами.

Thanks for sharing!! Great video! Probably most all of this is gone!☹️

High hoods puttin the work in too

Quite an effort, great presentation. Worthy of more thumbs than I can give. Thank you.

Great stuff, took me almost 10 years to find this! My favorite thing about footage in Appalachia, aside from scenery, is the classic sound of that high-throttle whining from the EMDs

I was at this place today had the tower open and all the other buildings. Great day

Wow, amazing video, we used to go to the UP with my Grandparents and see the Chief Wawatam, always amazed to us kids, so many memories!! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful film of WM and B&O superpower steam!

Big Flats, NY on the old Erie Railroad mainline at 23:03. The small Erie bridge is no longer there. Conrail took it out sometime in the 1990's after they single tracked the entire line and replaced it instead with a concrete culvert, which still stands today. The former DL&W mainline once ran beside the Erie mainline here, but that's long gone since the late 1950s now.

Fantastic stuff! I spent a few days based on Sarina at the end of May/beginning of June, just short of the start of the 2024 Crushing Season. I saw the 2'/3' 6" gauge crossing at Koumala, even getting my own scenes of a 2800 going through. I learnt a bit tonight, such as the mid-train helper, like on the coal systems. What a sight! 😍 I'd like to see you do more, but with a good microphone. The wind noise was your only let down. Thanks so much otherwise. 🙂🚂📹

Because it's not ril tracks lmao Anyway my old man was a brake man in ElReno. I remember things from 2 yo. Was very last of the steamers. Diesel took over immediately and they cut up the steamers just as fast. Thanks for the post!!

I enjoyed seeing all the older locos and a lot of fallen flags.

The harpes seem to have on/off lights. I don't know why, because the wigwag was supposed to imitate a red lantern swung by hand.

Excellent. Very nice to see Wairoa at the end there. It is so often overlooked.

At 11:40 we begin to see Penn Central GG1s and Amtrak Metro Liners. Very complete histrical timeline.

Were the PCCs a subway of sorts or was the viaduct simply traversing under the streets for a minute?

I remember seeing this trained in Strausberg PA. in 1976

Such beautiful footage

That Was My Very First Train Ride, I Remember Thomas The Tank Engine! Our Visit There Was In The Summer Of 1998!

9:18 look at all that delicious scale streaking down the boiler and outright covering the bottom of the whistle. Christ, it's a miracle nothing went wrong sooner and worse.

I am a born and raised tip of the mitt rail fan. I spent extensive time around the D&M switching Proctor & Gamble in Chebygan as a kid. I lived along the right of way between Cheboygan and Mackinaw City during the last years of the Chief Wawatam. I took a trip up to Marquette in 1996 not knowing those rails too would soon be gone. Thank you for filming, preserving, and sharing those memories with all of us!

Fantastic Horn!

I say, those must be the MP54s running local and express services on the Main Line. Trolley service on the 23, Budd M3s on the Market-Frankford Line, Red Arrows of the Suburban Trolley Lines, Lehigh Valley Red Devils of the Liberty Bell Limited Line, and J.G Brill Bullet and Strafford Cars of the Philadelphia and Western Railway.

This video brought back memories of my childhood, when I lived on Ontario Avenue, the trains ran right behind my house. I seen a few clips on here crossing over Bampfield

This great video should be digitally remastered….

I work next to the rotting corpse of this once thriving railroad, lucky to see one train a week nowadays, pretty obvious that CN didn't want to run it.......just to kill it😢

RIP B&O 2-8-8-4 I wish 2 em-1 survive like B&O 650 and B&O 659

2:25 I like that reading t1 whistle

I grew up south of Rutherford on the line to Hagerstown and got to see a great variety of Reading and WM power. Nice to see a vid on Rutherford.

Remember see them rounding the Frankford curve at night and the sparks that lit up their wheels.

A one of a kind with great utility.

And reading 2123 was retired in 1966 and scrapped

Btw reading t1 sold to PRR the numbers are 2107 2111 2112 2113 2114 2115 2119 and 2128

What was the reading t1 numbers

Growing up within walking distance of the NYC Harlem line in the fifties and sixties I vividly recall being in bed and hearing the FL9 Hancock whistle through my open bedroom windows…I’ll never forget that sound!

We need to rebuild our infrastructure. This would be a great place to start this. Let's reduce our dependence on automobiles and let's rely more, much more, on rail transport. Thanx for sharing the video.

The old Lincoln Highway crossing on the Metra portion 9:15

Creston IL 0:55

The front of the loco's in the clip starting at 1:38 bears a resemblance to some of the locomotives used by Kiwi Rail in New Zealand, as does the first second of the horn tone.

This was great. How did they do the push-pull? Were the units MU’d or was the trailing unit dead? When you say you edited the sound, do you mean it was added later to a silent film?

Loved it. Tim

No honking at road crossings in Quebec! I got startled one day when an LRC zipped by me at 100 mph without warning.

Another excellent video of the Green Bay & Western. Well done FMNUT

Great video. It's like a time machine looking back to the good old days of railroading in Southern Ontario. Awesome 👍🏻

Train 5:55
