Very cool. I drive up and down rt 21 thru Newark everyday. For those of you who aren't so familar with the area....if you are driving south on 21 towards the airport from downtown Newark, you would be taking the same route as this train. While driving today you could look to your left and see blocks and blocks of hand painted murals on the side of the RR viaduct. Many of the buildings in this "video" survive today. Super interesting, Thanks NASS!

Great video. Some folks may not know but this side of Newark was a small mix of residential with heavy industrial/warehouse areas wrapped around it, which continued into the Ironbound on the other side of the tracks. A lot of industrial cities looked like this in the 40's. The shopping districts downtown, near where you see the two towers in this video, are more city district looking and much less industrial. The less dense more residential neighborhoods are north west and southwest of here. Keep up the good work!

This looks to me like a train that has pulled out of Newark Penn station and is traveling south on what was the Pennsylvania RR line, now the northeast corridor. If I'm right then ironbound would be off to the right out of the sight. I think we're seeing the stretch of Newark along what is now 21, just a few blocks East and south of the prudential center and downtown Newark

These clips could have been footage shot as back-projections for a movie with characters sitting facing each other on a train or elevated. You can see they covered the same length of track twice but with the camera fixed at a different angle. On the set of the interior of a commuter car they would back-project one part of the footage behind the character sitting backward and the other part behind the character facing the direction of the train.

I found the stretch of street on google maps. It's the McCarter highway between Lafayette St and Pennington St. And most of those buildings are gone as the streetcar tracks, especially the timber weatherboard housing. Although it's interesting to see that some of those big old industrial buildings are still there, but most are repurposed & renovated as offices. And that some of where that old timber housing stood is now just empty lots. Most of it seems to be either gas stations or car sales yards. Not an improvement in my opinion, but we can't turn the clock back.

@@danieleyre8913 , that area of Newark is currently being redeveloped. The camera view is facing west. If you were to ride that same stretch but look to the east, you'd see vast stretches of former industrial sites repurposed as residential areas, with new housing either standing or under construction. Something similar is planned for the western side of McCarter Highway as well. Newark is my hometown and I grew up in that part of the city. I was born right around the time this film was made and have spent my life watching that section of the Ironbound neighborhood as it is known undergo change.

It’s a fascinating look back as we tend to romanticize about times many of us didn’t live through. In some ways, it looks so ancient and a certain aspect of grittiness to it. My late parents were in their late twenties and veterans of WW2 at this time. Part of me wishes I came of age then and part of me is grateful I didn’t. We were the primary power in the world then before we made a tragic foreign policy blunder in Vietnam. Europe and Russia were decimated by the war as we all know. I guess many had jobs in manufacturing back then when we certainly had a base economy. This looks like the old “Ironbound” neighborhood of Newark, New Jersey before it became a rough and dangerous neighborhood during the 1967 riots. They’ve tried to resurrect the city the passed fifteen years or so. Love the clickety-clack of the train. Good job NASS!

I believe this is the Lackawanna line west of Newark Broad Street station. -- Ironbound is east of there and this line has different scenery. -- Yes, lots of manufacturing in Newark until it went south, literally. Still, not a wonderful time to return to. My guess this was late 1945 or 1946. The most modern cars are the Chrysler products, likely Plymouths, which if I remember correctly had the same trunk design in those two model years separated by no civilian production - it awqas all for the war effort.The rest of the cars are definitely pre-war, and nothing looks new and shiny. Perhaps that's from the (excellent) colorization or equally likely because everyone held on to everything "for the duration." But if people think inflation is nuts now (New Year's Eve 2021-22) it went crazy postwar.

Newark was, and has always been, a heavily industrialized city, and had a lot of cheaply and quickly built housing designed primarily for the waves of immigrants and black families migrating in from the south in search of jobs in the factories the dominated all sections of the City and the nearby cities of Harrison, just across the Passaic River from Newark, Kearny and Jersey City on Newark's eastern border and Elizabeth, right next door to the south of the city.

Depressing? Maybe for you and I'm sure many others. But I can see _some_ positives. I expect that there was a local community that lived there amongst the factories they worked in and that it was pretty tight-nit, they all belonged to the same unions and their kids went to the same schools and they all looked out for each other. I personally find what's replaced it, what's depressing: The suburbs of crappy detached houses where there's nowhere near as much community.

Look at all those cars. At the time WW2 broke out 1 in 4 Americans had a car. Only 1 in 25 Germans had a car. Far less for Japan. That mattered. Detroit and a couple horrible Russian winters sealed the fates of Germany and Japan. The personal automobile is freedom in more ways than one.

The trains resemble the old Third Avenue El in Manhattan and the Sixth Avenue El. Third Avenue El was dismantled about 1953-56; and Sixth Avenue demolition was completed about 1939. I guess both lines lasted about sixty years which was about the lifespan of Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan to be replaced by the grease pit stench of hot dogs and Madison Square Garden for any New Yorker reading this. What an architectural 9/11!!!!!!!
