Thumbs up for a wonderful video! I can't get enough of videos and books of passenger trains in that era which was before my time!

[@TrainMaster26]

Thank you!

Since it was a "one off" experiment, I was surprised to see M-497 in that video.

[@TrainMaster26]

I believe my thought process was that M-497 was one of, if not the, last locomotive in the US to have an “Art Deco”/streamlined look. It would be very poetic for the New York Central to be the first and last railroad to streamline a locomotive.

[@MrCateagle]

@TrainMaster26 I can agree with that. The interesting thing is that it was returned to stock configuration and used for some years before being scrapped. That was a shame because it's record should have earned it preservation.

[@MrCateagle]

@TrainMaster26 Yeah, I can see that since the high-speed streamlining of M-497.strongly resembles that of the Pioneer Zephyr.

2:40 was that the northeast corridor? If so, it’s a sight to see 4 trains racing each other, as well as Steam under the wires! That would NEVER happen today

[@TrainMaster26]

I assume so, since there are gg1s, definitely a once in a lifetime event

[@TrainMaster26]

Thanks for watching! Is this type of video something you all would want to see again? It’s definitely a lot quicker to make than most of my other videos. For this I tried making a video that would be seen in the 60s or 70s, hence the 4:8 aspect ratio. The next part in this retrospective series is out! This time its about the modernization of railroads in the 80s and 90s! kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGG6dXyHj6iYe8U

At 2:44 is that a jet engine train?

[@TrainMaster26]

Yep! It was a crazy experiment by the New York Central where they attached two former WWII fighter jet engines to the top of a budd RDC car to see how fast it could go, it still holds the land speed record for rail I believe at over 170 mph. Here’s an article if you want to learn more about it, I’ve actually considered making a video on it at some point in the future en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-497_Black_Beetle

背景音乐非常不错，感觉是中国的黑白老电影

[@LeonidJP92]

How they (past generations) can destroy all this for cars?! 😡😮‍💨

Hello Train Master 26 I was wondering if some time you would like to do a collaboration on a video, as a young railfan myself I think we would make a good team, Message me if you are interested
