Funny how the thumbnail, and the first train, shows a Mohawk.

I wish some of these smaller NYC engines would be made into models someday. They truly are magnificent works of engineering.

They were not using video cameras, they were film cameras, like in how motion pictures, movies were made.

In the mid 50’s, on College summer breaks, I worked with TRACK Crew members of the NYCRR on the Hudson Division. Our job was to repair and or replace track and signals on the MAIN LINE adjacent to the Hudson River! Never forget … 1 day we dug a trench about 3 feet wide between rail TIES across 4 tracks, 2 of them MAIN LINE track. This was always done with great speed to keep trains running. ONE DAY, after digging the trench … we stretched out the Signal Cable … The Foreman nearly collapsed .. the Cable was about 3 feet short of the needed length for completing the Signal repair. ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE … Covered the trench … started again the next day digging all over again. A day I’ll never forget.

@michaelbimonte9112 my grandfather was a conductor pre war and after the war. Near Elmira, NY.. (late 40s, 50s, 60s and early 1970s) Would you happen to have any knowledge regarding what trains or routes, I believe Scranton P.A. to Buffalo was one of routes. Thank you sir, in advance.

The volume of freight moved on US railroads has been higher in modern times than in the golden age. After deregulation volume and profits climbed, rates decreased.

The Hudson River must never flood, because the Central’s mainline looked like it couldn’t have been more than 5-10 feet above the river.

The Hudson is a tidal estuary all the way to Albany, it doesn't flood because it's sea-level. The other major river, the Mohawk was canalized in the early 20th century. With all that water control infrastructure it didn't flood either. The rest of the route skirted the shores of the great lakes, and they're as good as sea level too.
