A great video young man, thanks for sharing this

[@thomasnativo6491]

Actually have an Atlas with a GP38-2 from CSX 4402 and Conrail Quality 1627 in Ho scale

[@PeterMigliorini-x4o]

As always, I so appreciate your wonderfully produced historic tutorials on our local rail heritage. You are a wonderful "storyteller" in providing the important impact local rails & railroads had on our region & for the people who lived here.And of course, you are "pretty good" with your camera angles, too! Thanks for sharing. This is Peter M; out!

[@3985uprr]

I very much appreciate your comments

[@1940limited]

There were 3 subscription cars still in service up until the end of the Lackawanna MUs. One has been repainted inside and out with new carpeting. I often wonder what happened to them. I was fortunate to ride 2434 over he Gladstone Branch in the early n80s with the permission of one of the subscribers.

Hi Tim it was great seeing you there in person once again!!! The event itself was a great success. I had fun, and hope you did as well.

[@3985uprr]

I did!

[@ldifalco2010]

Nice meeting you today. So the story I got from an NJ Transit employee regarding 4519 was that the unit was involved in an accident about a year ago. Some of the E.L. wrap was scrapped. You can still see some scratches on the left side. While it sat at MMC awaiting cosmetic repairs, mechanics started cannibalizing it to repair other locos. The head of ops had a fit when he found out and ordered 4519 to be put back together. Even the pantograph was removed. It took over a year but 4519 is now back in revenue service. Rumor has it that NJT is planning a new heritage unit in the near future.

[@3985uprr]

EL was one of my favorite railroads. I’m waiting for the Conrail engine.

[@kbtr234]

Wow, glad to see 4519 is back. 4208 will be the Conrail unit - should come in October.

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Thanks for being there and bringing us with you! It looks like a fun event! I'm reminded of the fact NJ Transit used to hold Hoboken festivals in the 1990s and through the early 2000s until costs and especially post-9/11/2001 security concerns put a stop to them. Hopefully the Heritage Festival is a sign of a continuing trend! Who can really put a value on the public relations benefits NJT reaps from these doings? I'm sure they far outweigh the costs!

[@greaternyrailfan]

awesome video! i was told by a friend i was in the comet V when you were nearby, wish i could have met you. overall, this was a fun event to be at and i hope you had a great time! great stuff too!

[@eliancaceres7894]

Pleasure seeing you there! Hope you enjoyed it as much as I did

[@3985uprr]

I did!

[@RABSTRAINS]

Very Nice Engines👍👍🔥

[@thomasbannister4372]

Love seeing the heritage engines, especially the 4210 in he old Erie livery. Brings back childhood memories of meeting my Aunt and Uncle at the Paterson station in the 50s when they running the old diesels. My uncle worked for the Erie as a clerk and was transferred to Cleveland. They always came to visit for a couple weeks at Christmas. A few years later I used to ride the Lake Cities back and forth to Meadville, PA during college vacations. I graduated in 69, just before they killed that train.

[@johnnytoobad7785]

Pretty damn good combo of audio & video. I just love classic engine noise.

[@londonwhaley8690]

I enjoyed the video👍👍

[@nsholk]

Great video. I exited the HOB PATH yesterday evening and saw that classic GE unit by itself on our walk home How pretty. Had no idea about the Festival so thanks for capturing it for us.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

At 9:30, that little silver lever between the throttle and the brake is the horn lever, just like on Silverliner IV cars.

[@3985uprr]

The horn sounds better than the 4’s

[@dawdawes]

Wow, love the big GE

[@lennysvideoz]

Great stuff Tim! Wish I couldve saw you out there

[@pl42actherailfan]

Wonderful meeting you

[@philliplee980]

I’ve been inside of 4210 and 4101 used to ride them when I worked for Njt

[@westofhudsonstudios4726]

7:23 hey, that's the train i was on! awesome meeting you again, tim!

[@de-fault_de-fault]

9:58 the horn on the Arrow III is that metal lever below the window

[@BrandonPowellGrant2000]

6:24 I'm in the black sweat pants, gray sneakers and black shirt

[@3985uprr]

Well, you turned around and were looking at me I think

[@rilma5216]

I wish they would bring the GP heritage units to the AC line a little bit more. Or give the locos on the AC line a similar treatment

[@Golocorails]

Nice i went there u might've saw me in a marvel t shirt 😅

[@233CFH]

I saw somebody who I thought looked familiar and knew it was you. As talkative and as much of a people person I am I can't believe I let that chance to meet you pass me by. Oh well maybe next time who knows

[@loocpoc]

You must of gotten there after I left! I had the PRR unit lead my train from Trenton to Secaucus. Unfortunately going past New Brunswick there appeared to be a trespasser strike. Did have a good time at the Red Sox Yankees game even though your Sox lost. Hope to see you at any other rail fan events

[@AlanXxle]

Its was pleasure meeting you Tim!

[@ariesarethebest271]

Cool. NJ has some nice heritage painted locomotives.

[@SteveGettingAroundPhilly]

Was there, and kicking myself that I didn't see you while I had the chance. Fantastic day, regardless!

[@brianhenderson9124]

Oddly enough, I sort of like the Arrow IIIs. They ran them on the Montclair Boonton line (only to Bay St.) when I visited over Labor Day weekend. Incidentally, that's why I had to transfer at Newark Broad St. to continue to NY Penn Station. Nice to see an ALP-45 in a special Atlas trains livery, too. Anyway, get those Arrow III rides in while you can, everyone. Oh, and doesn't the Montclair portion of the Montclair Boonton Line feel more like an interurban than a commuter rail line?

[@3985uprr]

A little bit but not like the Gladstone Branch

[@CSAviationandTransitChannel]

I was there, I thought I saw you.

[@MarcelosalivaTRENESArg]

Excellent my friends 😊 awesome 😮fantatic Greeting 🙋🏻‍♂️ from Argentina 🇦🇷 suscribete

[@larroyo1973]

I don't understand why would they Park the Erie Lackawanna engine as well as a few others facing away from the platforms? The placement of the Erie Lackawanna grey maroon Yellow Engine Mason impossible to photograph except the tail lights at the end .

[@steve-o5600]

My Pop commuted from Montclair Watchung Station to Hoboken 5 days a week via Erie during the 1950s...then the ferry to the City. I took the trip with him a couple of times. Wish I knew what the exact power was at that time, but it was definitely coal and steam at least early on. Tim or others do you know what it would have been?

[@3985uprr]

I’m not really familiar with Erie steam engines but I know they had 462s and 282’s

[@RubyyVista]

This was a fun event! The Lackawanna MU was certainly the highlight for me, what an amazing piece of preserved equipment. Lovely video!

[@nathanjiang100]

Nice meeting you again today!

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

I’m surprised they haven’t put high level platforms at Hoboken.

[@3985uprr]

Still a lot of low platforms on the Morristown line

[@AaronJrBrundidge]

i was there, and i wanna come and meet you personally

[@anthonywarrener1881]

Great video, and forgive me laughing at hearing you actually praise a GE locomotive !

[@3985uprr]

Sometimes the impossible does happen

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

And 4502 was still at Spring Valley I’m afraid. Great video! Unfortunately, I couldn’t attend this unforgettable event, because I broke my left foot when I was playing soccer for fun at Gillette 15 days ago.

[@3985uprr]

Recover soon

[@mr.conductorfromsts4204]

@@3985uprr Thank you 🙏

[@jmream2618]

0:42 is that U34CH operational

[@3985uprr]

Display only

[@CharlesReiche]

Wasn't able to make it. See you in Boonton in 2 weeks?

[@SouthernCtRailfan]

I went there. What were you wearing? I was wearing ns shirt, and a hat with an amtrak and ns tag, only telling you that just in case you passed me

[@3985uprr]

I did see a couple of NS shirts. I had on a light green T-shirt with a yellow Union Pacific hat.

[@golfberg1]

No Chineese History Locomotive 😮

[@1940limited]

No white person history locomotive, either.

[@thomasabramson100]

Question did the Lackawanna charge extra to ride in the OLS CLUB CAR ?

[@3985uprr]

You had to be a member and pay a premium to be in that club car

[@ELAlcoRS3]

YES they were subscription cars. You also had to be sponsored by multiple members and voted in. There was a waiting list. They added some kind of air-conditioning to 2454. It was the ONLY EL MU with AC. The car also had its own Porter. It basically was a special car for the Wall Street elite.

[@johnplampin7274]

​@@ELAlcoRS3not sure but there may still be one or two diesel club cars on the UP)CNW North line in Chicago. But they may not have survived Covid.
