Along the Jersey Central Volume 1

[@Voucher765]

I also found out there was a wreck at 1:02 on the site the CNJ Bethlehem depot, In 1927 the Scranton Flyer crashed into the Lehigh Limited via head on collison

[@williamschlenger1518]

Great movie clips. As a youth I saw many steam engines go by our house in Long Branch. Thanks for the memories.

[@BS-uj3ny]

I just realized that at 1:02 that is CNJ 833. One of the original Blue Comet locos!

[@GreenbeanProductions]

@Riley Schultz yeah they ran in my home state and that when the blue comet ran its last time in 1941 (witch it ran from 1929-1941) they where painted black for WWII and cause they didn’t really need them in that paint because the train was already discontinued and 810 got to pull the last steam excursions of the CNJ but scraped later on

[@Voucher765]

That steamer was scrapped unfortunately but to see it running as late as the 1950s indicates a chance that it could be saved because other locomotives were being donated to museums or private owners.

[@a.b.sproductionsllc]

I was in Scranton in October of 2017 and there is an abandoned train yard with old Erie Lackawanna train cars just sitting. I took amazing photos of them. I wonder what happened to the tracks? I figure now they’re all freight lines if they’re not abandon.

[@Manwholikestrains]

I have some cnj rolling stock and 2 cnj locomotives on my model train layout and I love the cnj

[@Imintune...]

always enjoy seeing the semaphore in use and wherever you can spot wig - wag level signals

Great work! Looking forward to subsequent volumes.

Instablaster.

[@BNforever2009]

Beautiful video.

[@Voucher765]

The CNJ 833 could actually be saved as she is seen in service during the 1950s which was pretty late for locomotives like her because it also pulled the Blue Comet a decade or so before

[@lennyhendricks4628]

Who's the gruff and extremely knowledgeable narrator who narrates this and so many other anthracite RR films?

[@JPMediaRR]

Mike Bednar, ex Lehigh Valley employee

[@lennyhendricks4628]

Thanks John, Mike is really good, seems to know a lot about the classic days and what's there today as well, pass my compliments to him if you know him!!

[@JPMediaRR]

Will do

[@Hozy780]

They should have preserved more steam trains like the Mikado the Blue comet

[@Voucher765]

I know and 833 the original steamer is in this video

[@Hozy780]

@@Voucher765 yes

[@jacksalvin364]

The Jersey Central Railroad

[@Voucher765]

Yes and this was their Pennsylvania operations which ended in the early 70s.

[@henryshaw2697]

Nice car but I need to know if the cnj commuter cars were single door or Dutch door I got 6cars to fix 20/#30 time

[@mdlanor5414]

Does anyone know if any of the CNJ Camel Backs were saved from being scrapped? The CNJ Locomotives with the Stripes, Statue Of Liberty and the Jersey Central Lines is by far my favorite out of all other Railroad Logos

[@thereadingg3945]

Two CNJ steamers survive. 0-6-0 #113 is on the Reading and Northern, and 4-4-2 camelback #592 is at the B&O Railroad Museum.

[@henryshaw2697]

The last camel back is strassberg rr sorry

[@bhomas_real]

WOAH Is that #833 one of the Three Pacific types painted blue

[@Voucher765]

Yes it is, She's probably pulling the Scranton Flyer from Jersey City through the Allentown area

[@MichaelGsandup]

1:30 wasn’t that one of the blue comet engines that later was painted black?

[@bhomas_real]

Michael G 1900s and up Nope that was a Reading steam locomotive. The one painted black was the CNJ 831. This might be her or her sister 0:00

[@MichaelGsandup]

Mr. Anonymous thank you

[@wildbill9919]

When l win the lottery l'm buying every JP Media DVD! And every Pentrex DVD too.

[@xr6lad]

It’s the 21st century. That people are still making DVDs and not digital downloads means a lot of history is about to be lost.

[@southjerseyboy2844]

Are there any CNJ steamers apart from 113 left and if there is where can I see them.

[@VT29steamtrain]

There's a Camelback at the B&O museum in Maryland, USA

[@AdmiralColdhead]

CNJ 113 and CNJ Atlantic Camelback #592 are the only surviving locomotives that represent the CNJ unfortunately.

[@victoriacyunczyk]

What is the music in the beginning?

[@JPMediaRR]

It is from royalty free music provider Smartsound, a track titled "Swing that Thing"

[@victoriacyunczyk]

@@JPMediaRR Is that where you get all of the music in your videos?

[@JPMediaRR]

Yes. They have a great selection of tracks for editing software

[@pravoslavn]

Nice video. It deserves beter intro music than that garish, awful jazz "music" !!!!
