Early CONRAIL, 1976-1977. Just a few of many I've filmed.

Thanks for watching this CLASSIC SERIES on a few of many early Conrail trains I filmed in 1976 and 1977.
Please be sure to check out many other video clips from the 1970's up to today. I'm sure, there is something there that will please everyone.
God Bless

The track was good here. No wobbling trains and they were zipping through there, too.

[@1jackdk]

They usually kept the commuter lines in pretty nice shape.

[@Chessiefan2101]

Love the second generation power. And even an Alco too.

[@railfanningpoints2.045]

Nothing but locals on the old DL&W too. DL&W went kaput after CR abandoned the cutoff.

[@stephenheath8465]

The old Erie Mainline to Ohio and Chicago was to still very busy at this time

[@buixrule]

Awesome video. Hohokus, next town over in Washington Township is where I grew up. I wonder if there's still 4 tracks there. Been decades since I was up to that location.

[@nhrrman3413]

Excellent video as usual Jack! Hey there from nhrrman.

[@railfanningpoints2.045]

Not much freight on the ex-EL east end under NS. A local here or there if that.

Hello again Jack the GOAT! Another great railfanning historical video. Boy, those were the days. My family just moved to Mt. Jackson, PA, a little West of New Castle. I remember my Dad talking about Conrail. He didn't much care for the name. I was in 4th grade at the Mt. Jackson Elementary School of Mohawk. Every time a Conrail train went by, it was like watching a kaleidoscopic circus going in front of you. Did you use to live in Joisy?

[@1jackdk]

Thanks Bruce. Yah, I'm a Joisy boy. LOL. Born in Paterson NJ in 1949. Same town and hospital where Lou Costello (Abbott & Costello) was born and lived, I lived and worked in northern NJ, then moved to SW PA. in 1979 during my over the road driving years for Mobay Chem in Pittsburgh. Been all over the country, and I'm pretty happy were I am. NJ is just way to busy! and taxes are insane.

[@brucefye3778]

​@@1jackdk OK then you aught to know Who's on First. LOL

[@1jackdk]
