Great movie! I'm 74 and I remember my Grandfather telling me about the B&A and WB&A electrics. He said there was an area they ran parallel and they would race each other. This is the first movie coverage I've seen. In the beginning of the video was that B&O Camden Station or Calvert Station? Did the B&A service that station?

My Father loved the Laurel Line. It was a favorite of his glory days stories. This bit of footage let me know a little bit more about him. Loved seeing the brakemen, porters, switchers, engineer, water towers. The settings were fabulous. Thank you for preserving the heritage.

The trolley right-of-way still exists through Fairmount Park, without tracks or wires. The trolley right--of-way without tracks or wires is still on the Strawberry Mansion bridge over the Schuylkill River. The car barn building still exists. The cars were sold for scrap in an auction when the line was abandoned. How sad, but it could be rebuilt if there was funding some day. At 80 years old, I won't live to see it.

9:49 to 10:11 is at Washington Crossing NJ on Belvedere branch of PRR. Doodlebug is facing south towards Trenton NJ. Washington Crossing PA is on opposite shore of the river reached via the bridge in the video which is still there. Track was lifted in late 70’s by Conrail. Now walking path.

Do any films in your archive have live sound?
@thenrhsfilmarchive6094 5 ай бұрын
A few from the 1970s-1980s (8mm magnetic strip sound). NRHS has the technology to digitize them. Photographers using this equipment tended to use very long takes, and the films are >30 minutes long. (Very slow watching. It was a format that requires decent editing post-production, unfortunately the mag sound strip made it difficult to edit the film, so the original photographers didn't go there.)

Interesting seeing that freight cars being shoved onto the SS Spartan probably by the C&O brakemen using only hand signals instead of a radio to control the movement. Nice shot of traveling over the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co. trackage at 9:27. Thanks for sharing!

This video is very special. Towards the end we see the streetcar #26, the Red Rocket, make it's way through Edgemere and Fort Howard towards Bay Shore Park - a Trolley Amusement Park that ceased operations in the 40s. The former amusement park is now the site of North Point State Park, many features (including the trolley station) are still there.
