Awesome footage never ceases to amaze me. Thank you so much for sharing. Brings back a lot of memories great memories.

[@GuyWicksall]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronmusco8757]

The Springfield Terminal footage is Gold! Thank you for sharing!

[@rogerarchibald2627]

The film is outstanding and sure brings back my memories of railfanning during my younger days, but I'd love to have more information either in the description, with unobtrusive on-screen graphics or a bit of commentary. Also, your title doesn't mention the B&M, but I was thrilled to see it! Thank you for sharing.

[@GuyWicksall]

My father lost his trip notes and I don't know enough about railroads t comment. If we ever find the notes I'll update the descriptions.

[@rogerarchibald2627]

@@GuyWicksall Understood. I thought this was your footage. I and I'm sure many others would be willing to assist if you're ever interested in doing updated versions.

[@Slim_digi]

Loving the film footage. Would love to hear more of commentary again

RIP Engineer Bob with the FJ&G..

[@grabasandwich]

I vaguely remember seeing CV locomotives on the CN mainline behind my childhood home in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Probably late 80s/Early 90s.

[@grabasandwich]

Also forgot to mention that my Dad's a retired locomotive engineer, and went past our house countless times.

[@JamesParker-jb8rp]

Wow! Awesome! Childhood memories!

[@tonyroman1569]

My favorite box car 2:32 in no reporting marks what so ever.

[@RogerDiotte]

LOL the ghost car! And still it always had a destination! That was when yard clerks did the JOB!

[@tonyroman1569]

I so agree

[@tommyhaynes9157]

That was fantastic

[@gmcliff555]

Great Video !! The FJ&G was my hometown railroad ! Where did you find THAT video ??

[@GuyWicksall]

Thanks! These videos were all filmed by my father.

[@goffmedia]

Did fjg really run at those slow speeds or is video slowed down? Thank you

[@GuyWicksall]

These should be pretty close to original speeds.

Just made my day,,a purple GREMLIN! BTW, the day after Thanksgiving, 1979 I was hit broadside by a yellow GREMLIN.(they were out drinking, the cans were flying out after the accident) 2 years later I would be married at the church exactly where the GREMLIN hit me. Married for 6 yrs 49 days.(divorced) Do you think "someone" was trying to tell me something?
