I also would note that I love seeing these Southern cabooses in action, nowadays you’ll see them mainly off of NS lines just sitting there. Better than getting sent to the scrap yard, but would love to see them ran

5:31 two cabooses at the end??? Now THAT is incredibly rare. Any reason why that’s a thing?

Wow! Never knew a video of a train going over that trestle existed! Even photos are a rarity.

Do you care if I use this video for an edit

I bet a train crossing the bridge at 8:22 would've been scary.

I like for Wayne Boyette to see this. Hope he comes across this, I send him a link to it, but he is a hard guy to approach, he is a hard head that worked with hard heads, good railroad man , I give him that. Run me down to Suffolk once only to have to turn back. Them were the days.

US is still the most racist country claiming to bring freedom, equality and democracy to other nations. Not so much has changed since then

4:17 That's an odd-sounding P5. Does anyone know why it sounds like that?

Lived by Big 4 in Greenwich ohio...hearing B&O hit the diamond thru open summer time window..(no ac)...and remember being able to see down road to AC&Y with NW units peaking out from under the Townsend street B&O overpass, thinking "boring". Now wish I'd have spent sometime appreciating that line now that its pulled from New London to Greenwich. And PC wiggleworm units were no beauties..but not sure why the NW didn't draw the same attention. Had semaphore there and couple trains a day...oh to go back.

Some of THE CREEPIEST sounding horns.

Did this song come to him in a vision dude how the fuck

Didn't KET (Kentucky Educational Television) carry the Bloomberg Morning News as most of the member-supported PBS stations did?

Regarding Edward Herman's comments about Aurora at the very end of the documentary, while Pentagon officials in the early 1990s denied the existence of a hypersonic replacement for the Blackbird, the decision by Congress in 1994 to bring three SR-71s back into service threw a wrench into rumors in the late 1980s and early 1990s that the US Air Force was deploying a hypersonic follow-on to the SR-71. Moreover, a memoir published in 1994 by Ben Rich about his time as head of the Lockheed Skunk Works from 1975-1990 cited Colonel Adelbert "Buz" Carpenter as saying that the codename Aurora which several black aircraft gurus associated with the alleged hypersonic follow-on to the Blackbird was actually given to requested funds for procurement of the B-2 stealth bomber and thus had nothing to do with hypersonic aircraft design. Lockheed and a few other aerospace companies did undertake design studies for hypersonic spyplanes in the late 1970s and 1980s, but the US Air Force recognized that the immaturity of hypersonic air-breathing technology rendered any full-scale development of a hypersonic spyplane unfeasible. Although the SR-71 fleet lacked the digital satellite datalink tech which was incorporated into 1980s American spy satellites prior to the SR-71's initial retirement in 1990, the fact that spy satellites can only carry out episodic coverage of hostile territory due to the laws of orbital mechanics prompted the CIA and NRO to initiate the Quartz program in the 1980s for a long-range subsonic spy drone to replace the SR-71. The Quartz UAV would have not only had intercontinental range but also relied on low-observable technology to avoid detection by Soviet radar when taking images of Soviet ballistic missile sites for very high altitudes, and the US Air Force by the late 1980s took an interest in the Quartz and saw this aircraft as the most technologically feasible short-term successor to the SR-71. However, high development costs led to the Quartz program being halted in the early 1990s without any airframes being built. Today, a top-secret Northrop Grumman unmanned flying wing (referred to as "RQ-180" in many popular publications although this is probably not its true designation) is currently in service as the USAF's true stealthy successor to the SR-71, combining LO technology with the penetrating ISR capabilities which the Blackbird carried out and which Quartz would have utilized.

These guys gave their lives to prove that they & their Families were American. It turned out that these guys were more American than the rest of the Country.

These guys knew they are not only fighting for themselves, but for their family back home, their treatment after the war, and their future. They were willing and ready to sacrifice themselves, but they didnt fight laying down, they fought to win again and again against insurmountable odds on the battlefield and at home.

And now there’s nothing left but just the Pilar’s I wish it wasn’t torn down

The Dash 8s were considered GeVos after their time

Some of those trailers are the original roadrailers that had the train wheels permanently attached to the trailer.

Is that one at 3:26 Centerville TNPK by any chance?

If you think this is bad it still happens today. October 2019, Judge Allison D. Burroughs ruled that Harvard College's admissions policies do not unduly discriminate against Asian Americans. They do under a different name racial equity. In war or in peace it still happens.

General Dahlquist was a racist, a narcissist and a coward.

I am really enjoying this video. Not much talk and no music in the background. You are just letting the scenes doing the talking.

As a non-Asian American, this makes me cry from shame

The dash 7s are beautiful to see

Those gate mechanisms were still there in 2009 but replaced with 2000s safetran style

The unbalanced sound recording just makes it even better

The fact that there are wishbone gates and US&S teardrop

Wow…brave men.

TELL ME WHAT THE MUSIC IS. ITS AWESOME. It’s in the credits

I'm surprised that 8mm film was still used in the mid-'80's and those crossing bells at 4:17 is interesting.

The sounds In Lower Pitch Makes Me Kinda Unsettled

Used to pick up the DT&I radio chatter on my scanner at my Folk's home in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Had a good outside antenna. Usually heard the towers at Leipsic, Hamler, and Lima Ohio. Sometimes Diann Tower up in Michigan.

Why do we blame the government for the internment? It was the general population of America who wanted revenge! Not the U.S. Government. You and I are responsible for it! No one else.

Awesome

Nice to see the Norfolk Southern logo before the horse was added on.

Neat seeing this old footage, including the old double-stacked rail cars for vehicles.

This is how I remember NS trains looking in the late 90s, just with more graffiti and rare cabooses. I was actually expecting to see more locomotives in SOU and NW livery, similar to how CSX was with SBD and Chessie until almost 2000. I saw plenty of Seaboard System engines- the last one was in 2006. But only one Southern engine, in 2002, and it was outside of a repair shop, probably waiting to be repainted as a thouroghbred, scrapped, or sold to a shortline.

1970s and 80s American public school history kind of missed this chapter of history.

One from the days when History channel didn't suck.

INCREDIBLE !

The track between Chillicothe and just east of Washington Court House has long been removed and today serves as the Tri County Triangle Trail.

racial discrimination against asians persists. it will never go away.

Thank you very much for sharing this video. Not only for the Southern Ry. action, but for the video of Southern crossing Albemarle Sound. I’ve never seen a video of a train crossing it, so this was a rarity.

Is that true there were Japanese Peruvians interned in California?

The cab of nw 1594 is preserved

I refuse to watch the movie Pearl Harbor. As a sansei (3rd generation Japanese American) it infuriated me that they portrayed a local Japanese spying for the Nihonjin (Japanese Japanese) It was a point of honor for all Japanese living in Hawaii that NONE, repeat NONE of us were disloyal to our adopted land.

Lot of memories, thanks for sharing. I grew up walking distance from the DT&I mainline in Allen Park, MI. I spent a good part of my youth at the Champaign St. crossing watching and snapping pics!

The 2691 at the 5:07, 5:55 and 11:00 mark is actually a GP35 and went to the Wheeling and Lake Erie in 1990. Great vid.

Gist of this video: *Don't F with the 442nd!*

I just missed Capt Kim's name on the 442nd movie.
