My grandfather shot 16mm railroad movies from the 1930s thru the 1960s, which I now have in my possession. Around 1986 I had them transferred to VHS, then later to disk...now I am digitizing them. This video is the footage around Detroit and the Southeast Michigan area. There is steam, early diesel and a little electric action. GTW, NYC, C&O, Wabash, and PRR are shown. Most of the diesels are so shiny, freight cars had no graffiti....and check out how steam fan trips were run back then!....
