Big Mike is a retired railroader who suffered a stroke. He knows this whole area after having worked his entire career there. I’d listen to him read the phone book.

the details Mike adds help create a complete story, putting names and personalities to the crews and power. we're lucky to have these films, let alone Mike's commentary. a golden age.

I could build a lay out in my basement. But I really like these videos and big Mike’s raspy dialog. God bless him.

Early in my career in 1971/2 I rode the CNJ Raritan Valley Line from Roselle Park to Penn Station Newark then the PATH on to the World Trade Center. Those old blue & yellow passenger cars were rough, built before air conditioning, heated by steam in the winter, but it was an experience I will never forget. I even have an O Gauge Lionel engine done up in the CNJ red & white colors.
