New York Central Odyssey Vol-2 HD-Remastered

Purchase a complete DVD or Bluray set of this program at www.greenfrog.com
A giant leap in quality, see all of the original 16mm Film quality, sharpness, brightness, and color on this BluRay!
This two disc set is a continuation of NYC Volume-1 starting in the summer of 1963. The transition to the Cigar Band Herald is quite evident. New jumbo Hi-Cube cars appear (for the auto industry) as well as piggyback service with highway trailers on flat cars.
You'll see action on the Toledo Division, the Electric Division, between New York's Grand Central Station and Harman, as well as other locations. Also covered are the RDC Jet Trials, where jet aircraft engines are mounted on an RDC car!
Mixed in with all this action is the continuing regular freight and passenger fleets, mile long trains of new auto loadings, as well as new second generation motive power.
We finally arrive at the Penn-Central merger. We'll see a few early views of merged power equipment, not yet revealing the demise of the mighty water level route.
From the Camera of Emery Gulash
Approx. Run Time: Disc1 - 84 Minutes--Disc2 - 85 Minutes
Bonus: 18 minute movie of Cutting Room Scenes never shown!
TWO-Disc SET
Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo

I loved a trip down memory lane. Thanks.

Railroading at its finest!

[@tommytruth7595]

The NY Central was just that.

[@davidwayne1475]

Excellent. Great video plus worth the price just for the music.

[@migfsx]

Jazz, and old diesel locomotives!!! wow!

[@vhsfox9643]

I can't get over how beautiful these restorations are. I also love how the 16fps speed lends a kind of dreamlike quality to these days gone by. Makes me want to dust off my Bolex and shoot some film.

Great video, AWESOME MUSIC!

[@proof036]

These are really impressive footage from the time. This powered by jet engines railcar reminds me of a similar test drive from the 20s in Germany. Since one had a lightweight motor coach equipped with an aircraft engine. What shocks me is the bad condition of the tracks. That it did not come to big accidents is surprising me. Regards from Germany.

Sad that they couldn't save a single Hudson Steam locomotive.

[@camelback5924]

[@marshallbowen8693]

vector6977 and I think two CPR Hudsons.

[@spdaylight1]

NYC wouldn't sell any to anyone besides a scrap dealer, only a Mohawk is left because it was hidden until after NYC could care about it's image.

[@NERRP2017]

There is a nonprofit organization that is going to rebuild a Hudson from scratch by using original blueprints like the PRR t1 5555 being rebuts by the t1 trust organization

what's the music?

What kind of music is this?

[@mjarail]

The Ohio State Ltd. ran from Cincinnati to New York, not St. Louis to New York.

[@rustyshackleford9115]

That's correct, however, there were thru sleepers from STL to NYC via B&O Nos 1 & 2 via CUT.

[@christopherorourke6362]

I remember the old New York Central railroad when they had the lightening scheme on its Diesel engines in the late 1950's when I lived in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area. The ugly cheap cigar band and newer oval the New York Central went to in the very late 1950's/very early 1960's was the beginning of the downfall for the New York Central railroad. The lightening stripe scheme on the New York Central diesels is and was much better looking. I used to watch the New York Central trains both freight & passenger when I lived in the Buffalo-Niagara Falls area when I would go to Buffalo Central Terminal with my late parents and when I lived in the Town of Tonawanda, just North of Buffalo.

[@rcnut5112]

What was your train to watch

[@A911.RNDM15]

I like trains

[@CSILCPD]

What is that for a car at 02:29, with the strange red thing ob the roof? Thanks for the information

[@GreenFrogVideos]

That is a special Test RDC Budd car, specially modified for Jet Engines, those are Jet engines on the roof. Lots of experimentation back in the 50s & 60s with the U.S. transportation industry (cars & Trains) Green Frog Prod., Ltd.

[@davidurban6813]

Just asking how did that jet powered railcar work out? I had heard it blew up and there wasn't a whole lot left of it or the guy that was running it. Except a piece here and a piece there. Is that true? Or a wives tale. Just asking. Have a great day everyone.

[@GreenFrogVideos]

We have not heard either way what happened to this thing, not very practical though of course, sure they just gave up on it fairly quickly!

[@coldwar1952]

The M-497 was a built as a test vehicle to demonstrate the potential of high speed transport on existing railroad. The runs and tests were extremely successful generating much data referred to world wide to this day in the study and implementation of high speed rail networks. The attained speed of 183.85 mph in 1966 still stands as a Guinness speed record for self powered rail vehicles to his day. D.C. Wetzel was the engineer on the runs and on some of the runs the president of the railroad Al Perlman was in the other seat. The 497 was returned to commuter service after removal of the test equipment and jet engines and was later scrapped by Metro North. Your story is bizarre, where did you get that version of events?

[@rustyshackleford9115]

WHOOPS! At 00:18 seconds they slipped in a B&O passenger train. And at 00:30 seconds a C&O passenger train makes a brief appearance! And there's more. OK by me, but I believe it's called a "NYC Odyessy". LOL!

[@CR7966]

Rusty Shackleford It's not impossible that the B&O and C&O had trackage rights on the NYC or had to detour over the NYC.
