L&HR NYS&W L&NE The Susquehanna in Film

[@richardgerlach5156]

I have fond memories of the old “Suzy-Q” in northern NJ back in the 60’s and early 70’s! Thanks for posting!

The first short L&HR clip (not sure of the location) is before 1960; the rest of the L&HR footage is from the the road's centennial in 1960- the yard shot with #3 and #10 is at Maybrook, the rest are in Warwick.

Another gem, superb job by the sound effects department, give them a raise.

[@fmnut]

It's been impossible to find recordings of multiple Alco 539 engines working together. I had to blend single unit sounds in multiple to get the effect. I'm not totally happy but it's the best I can do with what's available. Also impossible is in-cab sound with the diesel really working hard. Thanks to a PKP Cargo SM48 for solving that issue, as the Penza diesel is a copy of the 539.

Nice footage of vintage railroading!

[@keithranker3908]

Some nice NYSW video that I had not seen before! Thanks!

[@tombarnes7196]

Always appreciate LHR, LNE and Q movies!!!

[@rrtrain5706]

Four RS-1's on the move, great footage, thanks for sharing.

[@Pensyfan19]

Great footage as always, especially with the NYSW 2 coach passenger train.

[@iusetano]

A first for me seeing L&HR. Great videos. Excellent work. Thank you.

[@mattsmocs3281]

You always find amazing film. With out you many of these scenes would be completely lost to time

[@popps2502]

Nice. So that's what a GP-20 looks like when new. Them RSs looked like they seen a mile or two.

[@ikonseesmrno7300]

Ah, those are GP-20 demo's. Neat! I've not seen those before, nor any Suzy Q footage & so many RS-1's coupled together either. That really is something to me. Very neat footage!

[@fmnut]

Yes. The demos are noted in the description. Thanks.

[@BaltimoreAndOhioRR]

Wow, great footage, thx for uploading!! 👍

[@franciscampagna2711]

Thank you. I had almost forgotten what a 539 sounded like.

[@tombarnes7196]

Love those Alco RS-1s. They seemed like real workhorses!

[@derrickwong5337]

I memories of LNE, NYSW, and L&HR!!

[@keithranker3908]

First time I ever saw all three GP18s on one train!

[@ArcadiaJunctionHobbies]

what a treasure! thanks

[@warrenhoffman653]

What’s that funny looking red car with the windows at the end of the train? 😁

[@voidjavelin23]

thats the caboose

[@warrenhoffman653]

@@voidjavelin23No kidding. I was being sarcastic because you don’t see them anymore.

[@jeffreyknoop5363]

Believe the delivery of those Geeps was actually Passaic Junction (BT)

[@fmnut]

You're probably right, that would have been a longer haul for the Erie thus more revenue.

[@jeffreyknoop5363]

@@fmnut also believe for what it's worth. The shot of the 4 rs-1s shoving off their train with the diamond in the foreground is Sparta. They're shoving off on what we called the "Limecrest storage" which was then the L&HR interchange. Great stuff

7:05 looks like KB Lumber in Ridgewood NJ...

[@danielloeb9945]

Known as Midland Park Lumber when I worked there 1988-92. At the Goffle Rd crossing.

[@jeffreyknoop5363]

Definitely looked like Kuiken

[@cvrnut09]

I was curious. Did John Treen do any video of the Susquehanna?

[@fmnut]

Never saw any films by him. He did a lot of his photos while on the job, so carrying a movie camera and associated gear may have been a bit much.

[@cvrnut09]

@@fmnut cant argue with that, I work for a railroad myself and with these times I have to be a bit more cautious.
