Probably one of the best CNJ main line action videos uploaded, very impressed!

I can’t believe this is 8MM film transfer. I was guessing this was originally 16MM. I lived along the Raritan Valley line in the late 80s and early 90s and loved seeing these old stations. One of my favorites here, thank you!

Wonderful video. I love the brief view of the Twin Towers. 0:33

this just brings me back to my child hood in plainfield nj, i would go up to plainfield station and watch freight after freight train on Saturdays then go to the hobbyshop and try to buy the freightcars i just saw. i was lucky that my grandmother lived a block from the old cnj yard in plainfield .

Starting at 6:37 is a rare view of CNJ 3067 (the Red Baron). The Red Baron was repainted with the company emblem. That last lasted for a few weeks. The stripes came after. The movie was taken around July 1972. Again, that is a rare shot of CNJ 3067. Thank you for sharing.

Not a wide cab in sight. Excellent footage with audio too! Thank you much for uploading and narrating!

What a mood video. Gorgeous old diesels. I noticed some GP30s. I am South African, but fell in love with U.S. trains in the late 70, early 80s. Seeing the WTC being built gave me shivers. I looked into 9/11.

I loved hanging out on the Cranford platform as a kid watching the freights and commuter runs back in the early '70s.

I just love them videos of old trains like that brings back so many good memories I live in the west we didn't have the trains like you did but seeing all them little trains and then old engines it's a wonderful feeling thank you

[@HenrikSweden1]

great video ! this really is gold to me building and running this period in n scale. Knowing the bad state CNJ was in i am surprised to see all these clean commuter trains. Very nice video, thanks !

Very cool video and have a wonderful rest of your Tuesday evening.(Steve)

Very nice! I keep watching and hoping to see something from the Perth Amboy industrial track through metuchen and Edison into south Plainfield

John, this is great, original sound? If not it’s incredibly well synched.

On many of these videos I hear the narrator (and I LOVE his narration!) get in jabs about Ardmore people. Can you give us some explanation of what “Ardmore” is?

For a financially troubled railroad, CNJ ran some fast commuter trains.
