Northwest Ohio Trains Mid 70s

Silent Super 8mm movies of N&W, Penn Central, C&O and some EL mostly at Toledo, Fostoria and Marion.

[@ScarpawMutt]

Aw yeah! Super cool seeing all these fallen flags, as well as Penn Central's final years before becoming a part of Conrail!

I was so surprised to see the Louisville, New Albany & Corydon RR boxcar at 16:53. From my hometown! And now owned by Lucas Oil, I believe.

GM 50 was at East Side yard B&O Philadelphia Pa for several months. We caught it on our yard job a few times. Thanks for showing this. E8s bumped. U25Bs. F7s/Sw1500. I bet that 4100 series Chessie was fairly new.

Love the old footage from back in the day!

[@suppylarue220]

variety was abundant.

[@hartmutlorentzen9659]

Superb video, thanks for presentation, from Germany

[@bobozo389]

This is about the time I started rail fanning! Looks so familiar. Awesome footage!

[@Steelers2841]

Seeing the N5C CABOOSES of the Ex PRR AND N8C 232,233 SERIES are the best

[@b3j8]

Really enjoyed this look back! Nice he shot some film there at International Car where they made new cabooses. Thanks for posting!

[@HenrikSweden1]

[@dathanpoole871]

@ 5:06 what was that tug called with the face on the stack? Is very cool. I want to model it.

[@rick3524]

TLE&W footage shot at Neowash Rd about 2.5 miles SW of Waterville.

[@johnspencer7291]

they havnt run a real train in decades,track severed at several locations,shame

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

I saw GM50 twice. Emphasis on saw. Never able to photo.

[@davidsharp3110]

Wow!

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

At 3:00,,they are leaving for their 3 hour tour of Lake Erie.

[@willwozniak2826]

Nice.

[@jeffreymcfadden9403]

Train leaving the T&OC, going north on the Big 4? Since the line north of Belle Center was probably out of service by then. North of Kenton is Hill siding, hence the helpers?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Correct.

[@mattstough3614]

9:32 looks possibly like former prr outer hard heading south towards walbridge

[@rick3524]

Former C&O passenger mains between the NYC at Oakdale Ave (Rockwell Jct/CP 286) and Walbridge.

[@mattstough3614]

@@rick3524gotcha, the tracks on the left with the string of cars threw me off, figured it was off of Andrus rd

[@jjstrains4547]

Someone please show that guy how to get off equipment.

[@cbalducc]

Where was that train in Kenton going?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Probably Toledo by way of Stanley Yard. I think they were detouring via Berwick around either track work or a derailment.

[@suppylarue220]

railroads and trains still played a role in everyday freight movements😁 and people's lives. the divestiture of local lines and bantam carriers pretty much destroyed the allure of the "rails" . the 2020's are flavorless, and bland in all respects. there is no personality, just another business formula. too bad the young of today never got the opportunity to experience the thrill of "real railroading" or a "real train".

[@edsel6818]

This is an amazing vintage film, however the camera man was pretty sloppy countless times, either intoxicated or jus plain dumb,😭 he shoulda stayed focus on them automobiles on them autoflat cars, he kept zoomn in and out changeing to differt cars quickly, what the hell!!! I was trying to see what make/models they were, good grief, 🤯😵😱, gave me a headache, and he shoulda kept the camera on them huge high cube excessive hieght PENN CENTRALboxcars, WHAT this guy did, however seeing (FEW OF THESE VINTAGE CARS WAS REMARKABLE). He sure focused on them new 3 bay covered hoppers, MNS.
