[@popps2502]

Wow sure do miss railroads of the 70ths!

[@georgiasunbelt]

Really enjoy watching these

[@caseyvanboxtel2279]

The opening line, "this must be between wrecks" cracked me up.

[@cektito87]

It’s always a pleasure to watch the big C628s!

[@dhdisprsmith2296]

Wow this is great! It invokes so many fabulous be memories!!

[@bobbender2922]

I model this era on my HO layout, watching this is a great joy and heartbreaking at the same, good look yet dirty diesels, the freight cars are great, but not so tracks, John, Thank you so much!.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

The crappy track was an advantage, it allowed us to chase the many great power lash-ups.

[@buixrule]

This is awesome. Love seeing the old Maine Central box car on the last train.

[@vicodumb]

Always a treat. Thank you John P.!

[@zachariassiefker9249]

Very nice video! Never knew that there was a lot more footage of Lehigh Valley until now! Very interesting!

[@christopherorourke6543]

Great video of Lehigh Valley & Delaware &Hudson freight action in the first half of the 1970’s. My favorite railroads that served Northeastern Pennsylvania in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area are & were the Erie Lackawanna, Lehigh Valley & the Delaware & Hudson. 7 members of my family worked for the Lehigh Valley out of Coxton Yard. My great grandfather Stephen Kearney, 4 grand uncles & 2 second cousins were the 7 members of my family that worked for the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

My great great grandmother was a Cornell. Related to the founders of Cornell University. LV red was called "Cornell Red."

[@walkerdalton11435]

Thank you

[@dwkcamman611]

Great stuff indeed!

[@CoalChrome]

it's really sad that 90% or more of the engines we saw in this are scrapped

[@daniellaubach7544]

Love the sound of jointed rail at speed! The Valley diffently had a good verity of road power back in the day!

[@norfolksouthernmemphiswest5978]

Amazing video!! Got a sub from me!! I had no idea the Lehigh Valley had engines in that white paint scheme... : D

[@yrunaked4]

snowbirds as delivered. they were next painted maroon and eventually the Cornell Red. I love them all, had to choose a favorite.

[@bruceflaws3213]

John, is there a list of all the DVDs with Big Mike narrating? I want them all.

[@JPMediaRR]

Hi Bruce, most of our titles are narrated by Big Mike. Our website www.johnpmedia.com lists the details of each DVD, whether it is narrated and by whom.

[@bruceflaws3213]

@@JPMediaRR Thanks, John. I’ll check them out.

[@alexschmollinger6576]

DL runs Alco Locomotives today Which is a Pennsylvania Shortline Railroad that Runs out of Scranton Pennsylvania

[@gchristian7612]

“Throttle Eight, don’t be late!” Was the Valleys motto. So what was the CNJ’s?

[@snydedon9636]

The old Maine potatoes box cars I use to see all the time. Haven’t seen one in years but maybe that’s because trains don’t come by we’re I live anymore.

[@jamielacourse7578]

By any chance is this how they coined the phrase "rock & roll"? You wouldn't want to leave your coffee on the dash, would you?

[@MissRailfan]

@ 5:55 who's company boxcars are the rwb ones?

[@yrunaked4]

looks like BAR, Bangor & Aroostook. they had several paint schemes, and this was one of the later ones

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

Mike mentioned that 4 of the white LV 628s made it to CR. I caught one of these in Sharonville in May, 1977. 6728. CR blocked out all LV lettering. The poor thing had little white and was mostly black from the blocking out.

[@CR7659]

IIRC that one got repainted all black at some point and looked like another ex-PC unit.

[@tommythomason6187]

Lots more boxcar traffic in those days.
