Abandoned train...the last stop!

[@spiritwild69]

This is the best-produced video I've seen. The footage and music compliment each other.

[@phooesnax]

Beautifully shot. Very nice. Most of those cars look like they could be saved.

[@ScarabChris]

My grandfather worked for the railroad in New Jersey his entire adult life (right out of high school) until he retired. He was born in 1908 so he was working when steam locomotives were in service. He died in 1983 at age 75 so if I had to guess he retired sometime in the early 1970's so he certainly worked around these classic diesels in the latter half of his career.

[@jayallenbrand8857]

I too am a faithful fan of anything railroad related, and engines are also my most favorite. I would love to have one of those Bessemer engines to play around with just for the fun of it. Good video. I really enjoyed it, and thanks for sharing it. Jay

[@sidedoregono816]

The Two F7s under the bridge were recently sold to the reading and northern nearby.

[@tehpw7574]

now the question: can they be towed to their new location. The only accessible rail line is the NJ Transit (class 1?) and to my understanding, you're not allowed to operate on class-1 with shit locos or cars (maybe? IDK, I'm a retired GSE mechanic, not a rail enthusiast with knowledge)

[@benjaymin2916]

Why can't someone come and refurbish these beautiful trains to their original state. It would be so nice seeing these things run on the tracks again. Because one day these will become expensive and rare things to find, can't let them rot away into nothing now. So sad as well 😪

[@matthewsniffen3160]

Much easier said than done. A good, professional paint job alone is around $40k when all is said and done. I know because at the railroad museum I volunteer at, we just painted a FL9 a few years ago which is very similar. This is assuming that everything else is in good working order, and no parts need replacing. My best advice if you want to see locomotives back in running order is to join a railroad museum near you as there is always a need for volunteers

[@matthewsniffen3160]

Very true, I understand and fully agree with you on that. To switch most freight over to trains would not be hard, but to convince people to ride a train everywhere and give up the freedom of driving a car would be hard, and in some areas it would simply not be worth it to run passenger trains on a regular schedule.

[@hanyou23]

I have to agree... here on the Great Plains, a regular schedule would be a money looser, unfortunately :/ (distance and population)~

[@matthewkessler1153]

Unfortunately, they are abandoned for a reason. Great vid. Enjoyed much!

[@Cockroach2008]

+BenTheEpic Why don't you come up with the money & the effort to do something like that? Or are you waiting for someone else to finance it & put in the effort? Where is your donation? Send them to the scrapper for breaking & cutting. Good riddance!

[@Nivasi]

would love to have one of these on my property.. repurposed as guest house

[@Nivasi]

LOL right

[@Jason_Phillips3679]

that would be a cool idea

I would too! That would be so awesome!

[@deltavee2]

You, sir, are something of an artist in this application of a drone used for photographic purposes. The angle changes, sweeps, the change of elevation and your use drone speed and of light and shadow beautifully illuminated the subject. My hat is off to you.

[@b30233]

It's sad to see these once glorious trains abandoned and vandalized like this it, would be great to see these Beauty's restored.

[@virginiawebb3100]

So glad to see these cars getting new life. Kids today need to ride on trains and have family fun and memories. People who have money and a vision can restore these.

[@DukaDuke]

There's something intriguing about abandoned buildings & machines. I know it might sound crazy but I think it's beautiful. Remind you of passing time, that nothing last forever. Gives me very nostalgic feeling. When I was a kid I used to hang around places like these, too bad that in my child's days didn't had gopro camera. Nice video, thumb up. Thank you for sharing this :)

[@gustavomarques9499]

DukaDuke saaame thing dude

[@nemo227]

I agree. Abandoned trains, planes, houses, towns all strike a chord in many, many people. Music sometimes does the same thing. I know that smells do the same thing. I live in California but I've smelled coal and coal oil out here and it took me back to my childhood in Pennsylvania more than 70 years ago. Some experiences are indelible. I had the same experience from the smell of milled lumber from Sweet Home, Oregon.

They would have to be stupid investors. They would never get their money back, let alone a profit.

[@colbylawson7841]

The description made me cry more than the video. I always loved trains the same way. It just hurts me to see locomotives and rolling stock abandoned when they can still be fixed and used again.

[@npsit1]

I love those old engines.. A lot more character than the vehicles we make today.

[@BURTBROWN]

Well, here you are again.... Another spectacular series of shots. I especially likes the heading into the engine and then up over the rail.... Great work!!!! Burt

[@Mr_ZPguy]

[@franklinanders7484]

Beautifully shot...excellent music accompaniment. Thank You.

[@johnstup4479]

Love seeing videos of trains. Yeah, I'm a train fanatic. Those two engines sitting under the bridge were from the Bessemer & Lake Erie RR, later bought by Canadian National. I guess the CN sold them to the Southern Railroad Co. of New Jersey. You can see the Bessemer logo bleeding through on the one engine. Loved the video! If you are game, I'd like to get together to shoot some train footage someday.

[@cocksicklestick]

thanks man!! yea im so down...i would like to find some really cool bridges or busy areas...i know there is a ton just havent found the best one yet. harpers ferry is good, baltimore and parts in shepherdstown vw

[@johnstup4479]

Those are good spots. I've done Point of Rocks and Cherry Run in WV. Lots of CSX action. Would like to do Harpers Ferry some day. Maybe a couple of weekends in the fall if you really want to hook up.

[@skunkhollow51]

[@westernpennsylvaniarailfan]

Are you sure that F7 is from the B&LE? That doesn't look like their paint scheme.

[@johnstup4479]

One site I visited said both engines sitting under the bridge were B&LE. The emblem on the front of the engine in question looked familiar, but I could not remember the road name. I did a little more investigating and found it to be with the New York, Ontario &Western RR.

[@shashwattiwari6571]

amazing video.loved it.the trains standing there looking like they want to tell the stories of themselves and want to tell the journey of their life.beautifull.

[@quasimoto7662]

[@daveanderson6248]

Wow. Absolutely awesome videography, appropriate music, super clear high resolution; one of the best quality videos of any kind I've seen on KZbin.

[@chasespadavecchia3514]

Just an update on these cars for anyone curious: 0:26 the "Susquehanna" Budd Car was purchased by R&N railroad and is now under restoration for passenger service. 2:48 the grey locomotive has been purchased by R&N railroad. 0:52 this coach is now owned by URHS and is under restoration to it's original "Blue Comet" livery for passenger excursions. 5:22 the grey locomotive is now at Steamtown National Historical Site.

[@rogercorriveau5889]

Amazing video..you showed things that very few of us get to see! Thanks for posting!!

[@SunsetRailMultimedia]

that's sad. You don't just leave Alcos and RDC railcars to rot like that. Why would they do such a horrible thing?!

[@KZ1993]

It's the Southern Railroad of NJ. The line is still in service. This video was filmed at Winslow Junction which is hardly abandoned.

[@codyammon3432]

kyle are you sure becaue two for them are still holdin nyo&w colors

[@KZ1993]

Yes, the owner liked that railroad so he painted them that color. I don't think either ever ran on that line.

[@codyammon3432]

no the nyo&w didnt run in nj at all it ran form oswego ny to down near the city and went into scranton pa the blue yellow an orange diesels have the o&w badge which is the o with a w inside it they went bank rupt in 1957 these engine are the only engins i have ever seen in oringal o&w colors he didnt paint the ill post a link about the o&w

[@KZ1993]

+cody ammon I mean that those locomotives aren't from the railroad whose scheme they are painted in. The owner of SRNJ just liked the scheme. There's another engine in that livery too (SRNJ 803 I think) that is also at this yard in South Jersey.

[@scopex2749]

SUPERB drone piloting!!! I fly the real things ( airplanes) but still learning to fly my drone! Nice video love the old streamliners!!!!

[@GarryReyom]

As a fellow cinematographer, I admire your coverage on the subject. One thing I can never do well is get enough footage.

[@AmericanExplorer]

I used to watch the old F series engines when I was a kid. I always thought they were cool looking. Once in a while I would see passenger trains when my parents and I went somewhere. Where we lived there wasn't passenger train service so I didn't see them very often. The old trains were the best! Great video! I especially liked the overhead drone shots showing the exhaust fans.

[@billlukasik3257]

This video was taken at "Winslow Junction" in NJ, just west of the City of Hammonton. The rail bridge seen above the train is the Atlantic City Line for NJ Transit. This is where the Central Railroad of NJ's "Blue Comet" would intersect the rails to head to Atlantic City from North Jersey. Just east of here is the cut-off for the Reading Seashore Line to the Cape May County coastal resorts of Ocean City, the Wildwoods & Cape May City, miss the trains. You can use Google Maps to view this location. The CRRNJ terminal still stands at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, this is also where to board the boat to Ellis Island & the Statue of Liberty!

[@BobbyTucker]

I've never been further east than Ripley, New York. Always wanted to visit up and down the Eastern Seaboard but got turned around and wound up in the Victorville, California Yards, just visited there when living in Las Vegas, Nevada 35 years. lol.

[@NODARRYL]

A great video. I can almost feel the sadness in these old relics that were once a huge part of this country's rail system.

[@rattmann36863]

Amazing the amount of junk left around the country side. No one wants to invest the money to tear them down, or recondition and reuse them for something else. Just park them some where, and let them rust away. Same as throwing trash out your car window while driving down the road.

[@tedsampson2271]

I 100% agree government talks recycle...not much being done here We here in this country are very wasteful

[@thra5herxb12s]

Thats why the Native Indians were murdered and conned out of their land. So modern companies can treat the place as a dumping ground.

[@carmium]

True, but even if you got these to a rail museum, chances are they'd still be rotting away. Cars and locos are so big that it take a tremendous amount of effort just to preserve them in as-is condition, and much more to restore them. I know two well-established museums in my province with decent-sized collections, yet only a handful of engines and/or rolling stock are in good condition. It is a shame, but we just don't have the love for trains - and cash donations - you'd find in countries like Britain.

[@lokisgodhi]

Not true. Surplus equipment sits until the price for scrap steel hit the right price then they get sold ans scrapped.

[@thra5herxb12s]

The price of steel has never been higher than it has been for the past few years. The Chinese are buying it all up and flooding the world markets with very cheap recycled steel which is killing the worlds steel industries. In the meantime the Chinese are using their new found wealth to create a nuclear arms race to intimidate their neighbours.

[@justmeeagainn]

Great job. Really brings out the past beauty and glory of these trains. Sad that they just let them decay. The shot of the engine really got me. Who voted this down? Train executives?

Great use of a drone. Nice move at about 3:20! Its rad to see these...I live in the LA area and these would be covered head to toe in tags in about 2 seconds.

[@zuutlmna]

I know guys I used to work with (machinists, millwright fabricators, etc.), who'd love to work on such restorations. It would be their dream retirement. So when we think of restoration work, it's actually a winning double play. The museums, historical societies etc. get more quality inventory, and retired wrench-turning fanatics (and other skilled, etc folks) could have something to throw themselves into (part-time, full-time whatever) during retirement. "Crowd funding" might be a way to go, but would need crowd funding savvy people to properly make that work. Funds would initially have to retain and cover all the legal aspects. -A tall order, but results would probably be worth it. Just an idea. There's actually people who'll organize, just to prevent historical, etc. restorations, and prefer to have the old stuff just sit and decay.

[@zuutlmna]

Just some idle thinking here...-Could be that an owner might let such an engine go for its salvage value (apparently this engine has been legally abandoned, and off to scrap). The big expense is securing a long-term shop, prepping it for move, the move to the shop, and legal expenses, including appropriate liability coverage. I suspect that finding restoration volunteers wouldn't be too much of a problem, especially if the project is able to share a shop.

[@ryanwhispell4914]

The Southern Railroad Company of New Jersey (SRNJ) used to use those very F7As in my town back around 2003. When Mannington Mills in Salem, NJ stopped using the railroad, the railroad took a huge economic hit on its Salem, NJ branch. They had two GE 44-Tonners, two EMD F7As, a GE U18B, an EMD GP10, and an EMD GP9 stored at the Mannington Mills facility. Now only the EMD GP9 remains in operation there but it is in poor condition. Over half of the crossing signals on the Salem, NJ branch are broken and track conditions are so poor that the average operational speed is about 15 mph. The railroad's Winslow, NJ operations are doing fine and they use almost all ex-Canadian National MLW M420 and M420R locomotives and the EMD GP10 from the Salem, NJ branch. It is so sad to see these locomotives rusting away. They have so much historical value. At one time the Susquehanna RDC was actually used for freight operations. I hope that one day some of these locomotives can be restored. This railroad got me into rail fanning. It truly is one interesting and enduring short line railroad.

[@JRNipper]

This equipment isn't abandoned. Some organization owns these relics and the property they are sitting on. Locomotives that are still intact as those F units are would never be abandoned by any company or private owner because they are worth many 10's of thousands of $$$ each. Also, only gutted locos go to scrap yards so we know these will either be restored or parted out. These intact units would never be left to just sit around waiting for nature to reclaim them. All that equipment is there for a reason and some organization owns each and every piece.

[@kevins1114]

It seems those Locos could be "spruced up" a little and sold to developing countries, rather than being left to rust to the ground. When CSX bought out the L&N RR in my area, and ended service, the pulled up the track rails and sold them to the Brazilian government, along with a lot of rolling stock, and several Locos. It seems other rail outfits would do the same with their excess or outdated equipment.

Impressive camera work and good choice of music. Thank you. I treasure the memory of my late wife and I travelling by train from St Louis to Mexico City in July 1976 - changing trains and crossing the border by cab from Laredo to Nuevo Laredo. The rolling stock in Mexico was clearly ex US but was significantly newer than the train we rode down from St Louis! The buffet car on the US sector was probably 30s/40s - absolutely gorgeous interior fittings. Delicious burgers were cooked on a wood fire. OH yeah!!!!!! At that time there was one train a week on that route - leaving St Louis at around 2pm on Sunday - and I recall getting into Mexico City on Tuesday evening. Beds were comfy and we almost certainly conceived our first child on that train.

[@taxidude]

Are there no railway preservation societies over there. The locomotives and some of the rolling stock are absolutely beautiful in their style and deserve to be restored. One of the bonuses of the railways being cut down in the UK is that we have many preserved historic lines and engines and these would have been snapped up.

[@coastalguy]

We do. I am member of one and know several others. I have expressed interest in the pullman. We have about 12 (plus parts) of the Alco PA's the engines shown. Some may be too far gone.

[@taxidude]

So glad to hear that. The history of the railways shows the history of the industrial, commercial and social growth of our countries. After all, your own country is about the same age as the railways and the industrial revolution and this would have been hi tech at the time. In the UK, Ireland and much of Europe, nobody travelled outside their own county that much. What is today, a 4 hour train journey from say Edinburgh to Glasgow, would have taken 2 weeks by stage coach. It also caused us to standardise time to GMT throughout the whole country and eliminate local time. The railways started everything we now know of the modern world. The boom was far bigger than the internet boom of recent years and the stories of trickery, skulldugery and carpet bagging are still well known reflected very well in your country in old westerns like Jessie James when a railway land grab started the whole thing off.

[@TheRazorbackpilot]

We have many museums over here, the problem is really money and the amount of equipment that's already been saved. For example many F-units such as in the video have already been preserved.

[@clarkgriswald9909]

There are actually darn few rail museums or societies over here like there are in the UK. The public doesn't want to put money into them, thus, many great examples like this are lost. What few history buffs there are among us are simply not big enough in number or finances to do much about things like this. Plus, very, very, few rail lines to operate on that aren't owned by the major railroads, and they DO NOT like tourist or excursion trains taking up their track.

[@mattsmocs3281]

Keith Walker actually some pf that is going to new homes the NYO&W GE 44 tonner connected to the caboose is going to Steamtown NHS in Scranton PA as soon as transportation is arranged. They are gonna get it running and use it as both a yard train back up and a yard switcher.

[@KZ1993]

+eclemensen Those engines arrived there under their own power. Unless something has changed, they're stored serviceable. They were used on another part of the line until the rail traffic died out. Now they're surplus power that just sits in the yard. The original owner of the line passed a few years ago, so I unfortunately don't know what the current plans are.

This is Winslow Junction, NJ. Those trains aren't abandoned. They're just not used currently due to financial restraints and dwindling rail traffic. The Southern Railroad of New Jersey was just across the road from all of that rolling stock. You can see the more prominently used locomotives in the background of some of the shots. Most of the engines shown in this video actually ran not that long ago. The coaches, on the other hand, haven't left that yard for at least the last 20 years.

[@lrboyenger]

[@64BBernard]

Wow, an Old Woman F3. That railroad went out of business in the late '50s.

[@whiteknightcat]

While the NYO&W was an original purchaser of F3's, these look more like Phase II F7's. F3's had belt-driven fans arranged close together, later F models had the two exhaust stacks between the pairs of fans. The louvers that replaced the chicken wire between the portholes were horizontal as opposed to the vertical ones on F7's. Also note the rounded doors vs the earlier square-corner ones and the lack of the rear door overhangs.

How much work do you think it'd take to turn her over and go choochin' down the rails like those Ukrainians do with those old tanks?

Thanks for the video! I had a lot of fun researching the different cars and engines, learning about their histories!!!

[@yank-tc8bz]

What a waste

[@garyolson3315]

Wow, the shear number of views in just over a month prove how much we are all drawn to rail transport! As a young boy, I used to watch for hours at the Yards in the SF Bay Area. We used to hop freights to Richmond, then back for the shear joy of it. Thanks for a great video, and the memories!

I hate dramatic music.

[@Enchisedmy]

Watching all these wonderful trains just sitting there is actually quite the downer. Damn.

[@InsightHomewood]

Totally Awesome. I am blown away. Thanks for this video.

[@markschneider8815]

Nice drone work! I always wanted a caboose. All customized inside, sitting behind my house. My refuge from the world.

[@pauleasterbrook658]

Whoever got the drone shots and put in the dramatic music, thank you. lol, it made me feel like i was in a movie.

[@RaceIsOpen]

Such beauty...yet they sit and rot. In Winslow County, NJ...I want to see these beauties!

[@DJShadesUK]

Actually fell down a KZbin hole and ended up here. Not particularly into the subject matter but what caught my attention is how beautifully cinematic some of the shots look. Great job!

[@Random12231]

Excellent video, really incredible work. Truly amazing to me how well preserved those engines and coach cars were. Awesome find. Keep up the great work

[@ronhenry1186]

Great footage, and the music is appropriate. So sad these two iconic locamotives and caboose cant be restored and put in a museum somewhere for people to enjoy. The fact that they were just abandoned and forgotten is depressing. They represent the great era of passenger rail travel in it's heyday.

AWESOME AND AMAZING VIDEO! DOWN RIGHT BEAUTIFUL....

[@robbieb8833]
