Nice unit and review. The NJ Transit and Erie Heritage painted units resembled something more like an SD45. It looked like the rear vents were flared. Was the unit modified at one point?

Thank you SO much for this posting! I've spent all but about 6 years of my life within a short distance of at least one, often two, Red Arrow lines; I've ridden at least one example of every vehicle shown from the center-door cars to the N-5s. If I may, I'd like to add more information accumulated as a long-time traction fan: > The West Chester line was actually well-used in the early 1950s. It was closed solely because the state wanted to widen West Chester Pike from two to four lanes. The new road was designed with a median that was wide enough to hold the trolley ... except that the PA Highway Dept. decided to add turn lanes that blocked any possibility of shared rail service. There was actually an unofficial referendum organized to save the trolley; it won with something like *80%* support but that being the car-crazed 1950s the state simply ignored it. > The losses of the Ardmore trolley line and Strafford P&W branch _might_ have been avoided if not for bad timing. - The Strafford branch was closed in 1956 due to low ridership. However within about 4 or 5 years that area's population had grown to the point where it could likely have supported rail service. - The Ardmore line closed not due to low ridership but because private transit was in trouble nationwide. Even the once-mighty Red Arrow hadn't been able to replace cars that were OOS due to accidents and age. They looked into buying three second-hand cars so there'd be enough to keep full service going, but the system was so cash-strapped they couldn't raise even the $500K (in 1966 bucks, of course) that was needed. It's perhaps unrealistic, but there's some thought that if Ardmore had survived into the SEPTA era there was a chance it could have gotten those additional cars. > The Electroliners were purchased for a planned P&W branch to the growing Exton area. But like the West Chester trolley, the idea fell victim to a state that was allergic to any new rail transit. The Liners were then relegated to Norristown service on the P&W. I reveled in the 1940s interior décor and snack bar, and would even adjust my travel schedule so I'd be sure to catch a Liner. Unfortunately they proved too heavy and electron-hungry for the system as it then existed. Service was cut back to two afternoon express runs followed by the sale of both trainsets. Thank heavens that both have been preserved!!

Nice catch of my home freight railroad :)

What museum is this

Me painting my New York Central RS3 into Missouri-Kansas-Texas red

My favorite the beautiful beast the GG1

Cool,1:10

2:53 r.i.p p40

It’s cool that you saw 8100 I saw it this November leading a intermodal to croxton, NJ overrated great catches. 👍

That’s actually a cool Way to this thanks for the idea

YO IS THAT THE TRAIN SHOW IN UNION?? i WAS JUST THERE LAST WEEK!!

Am I the only one that likes Penn cetral

You forgot the sd38

You asked so I’ll put my request in, how bout doing a video or two on the Bay Colony Railroad ? I grew up in Abington, Rockland, MA area and saw a lot of PC and Conrail through that era but they operated on the BCLR’s lines

What a great cool video

how far can you go into the yard I would like to see everything in the yards

Very nicely done. I've lived in the Philadelphia suburbs all of my life, yet while I never had the opportunity to ride the Red Arrow trolleys, I do believe my maternal grandmother would take them to and from the city.

Great video and amazing camera quality! It's always nice to see someone cover the history and various rolling stock models of lesser known interurbans, especially those that ran in high density regions of the northeast. I must say, cars 25-27 look quite odd as standard streetcars with the Red Arrow Lines' iconic plows.

Infamous? because of the Declaration of Independence

Great video!

Great photos but the comments sound like someone who never actually saw the Penn Central. Enjoyed it nevertheless.

Thanks for the great info, I was looking for this for a long time

Penn Central is burning in hell

I saw the LIRR vid from 4 years ago and one more thing, there’s I think a motor car at port Jeff at Train car park on route 112

Really should try and venture towards Patrick’s trains in Wheeling when I get the chance. Closest I’ve gotten of course is the TCA Meets but that’s all she wrote

Bro is gonna become the next Rodney Kantorski Also noticed that you used the Better Call Saul theme in your intro lol

What about the N&W😢 but GODDAMN IS THAT A CNJ TRAINMASTER I NEEEEEEEED THAT

A fate worse than death....

No steam engines???(Kidding!)

Boston & Maine railroad

never heard a more appropriate use for femur breaker than penncentral

The PRSL, which was 2/3 controlled by the PRR, had its version of the MP54. These were fitted with trolley poles and third-rail shoes.

4:15, Penn Central’s Alco Century Locomotives look great. They just look nice to me.

For this to be truly accurate the cars need to be filthy, the windows impossible to see through, and the trains either 10 to 50 minutes late or cancelled. Pretty nice otherwise.

Penn central is good tbh (I am phillip_central From ro scale sandbox)

*50 YEARS OF GREAT RAILROADING*

GOOD BYE TO PENN CENTRAL,TIME TO WORK😭😭😭

Cool video

That's me

Poor locomotives They are left to rot away and get scrapped by pieces

New Haven or Conrail next

4:34 Bro…that music…the nostalgia just hit me like a runaway train (bu-dum-tss), and it does every time. 5:54 This music…TOP GEAR!!!!!

What kinda of a monstrosity of a locomotive is the Rs3m?!
