If only one of these beautiful creatures were preserved. Or better yet, if one was rebuilt today using modern technology

[@AndyProper]

That’d be amazing

[@daniko4447]

2 mohawks were preserved, tbh the only difference i see between a hudson and a mohawk is that they have different wheel arrangement

The days long before dynamic braking. These guys were masters of the air.

Why don’t we travel like this anymore?

[@minecraftian4743]

Everyone has cars that can go to more places..not to mention I'm pretty sure ticket prices are higher than they used to be

[@BackshopRailProductions]

This kind of travel is a bygone era, I don't think this type of travel could be relived again.

@Joey Kominek Highways that our government built and subsidized with money that they got in part from taxing the h--- out of the railroads Same game they played with building and maintaining airports for the airlines.

Every 2 years or so I film with Super8mm or even 16mm. I truely love Kodachrome and the Technicolor (I.B.) although both are gone. At least we have the (new) Ektachrome back since 3 years... This film was/is made VERY well! Sharp focus, fine scenes. VERY esthetic! Also this film have run through good movie projectors with regulary cleaned film-paths! (= NO lines! ) Very few people know TODAY what skill it took/takes to really FILM. This digital stuff is far to easy! (less quality in terms of esthetics) High quality as I like it a lot! Thanks a lot for putting this here up! Kind and cordially regards!

Such beautiful machines! A true shame that neither the New York Central (or other roads that also had a few) saw fit to save even ONE Hudson, given that each one originally cost $250,000 - a rather handsome investment! Each and every one of the 275 Hudsons built were scrapped. They were built between 1927 and 1938; but were phased-out in the 1950s by diesel locos.

[@markwegner9712]

I thought there WERE some saved and on display in the US

[@jacksalvin364]

All of NYC Hudsons were scrapped in 1959.

[@Sharpshooter-dl9fc]

Jack Salvin a replica is being built however.

[@tommytruth7595]

Too bad this country can't build a replica of 1959 and take us back there.

[@danielgolus4600]

I think all 275 Hudsons were scrapped BY 1959. They were retired between 1953 - 1956, then scrapped.

[@anthonynigri8585]

@ Sharpshooter 441342 how do you know that a replica is being built

[@P0nyB3h0ldr]

@@Sharpshooter-dl9fc That’s completely untrue. The only trust I can recall forming was made up of a handful of early teens who didn’t realize they were in waaaaaaaaaay over their heads.

😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@prowordsmith]

Some kinda sound or narration would have made this infinitely more interesting.

[@BackshopRailProductions]

I agree but this was a silent film

[@paulluchter3067]

Added sounds are silly and ridiculous . Narration would be nice

[@patrickmurphy6775]

Great video! No sound?

[@BackshopRailProductions]

This was a silent film, I wanted it to have sound too.
