Northeast Rails in the Mid 70s #1 (EL/D&H/LV/CNJ)

Robert Wilt's D&H films are featured in John Pechulis Media's "Railfanning the Delaware & Hudson Volume 2" (link to purchase at the bottom of this comment). I am not affiliated with John Pechulis Media, and they pay me nothing to advertise. I'm very glad Robert Wilt's D&H movies have been properly digitized and preserved. www.johnpmedia.com/dvds/railfanning-the-delaware-hudson-volume-2

I enjoyed watching the D&H Baldwin Sharks running on the Sayre turn!

[@kittycraft]

Very nice collection of clips, most are somewhat local to me so I can help with some spots: 0:20 - might be the D&H/LV Sayre Turn at Tioga Center, NY 1:17 - might be near Barton NY, shot off the EL main where they bridge over the LV branch 1:43 - is the returning Sayre Turn just east of Barton, NY 3:38 - is in Owego, NY of them swinging onto the EL main to run to Binghamton. 9:30 - is on the LV at Penobscot, PA 10:27 - is on the Bath & Hammondsport somewhere 10:55 - might be near Barton, NY 11:40 - is a Sayre Turn arriving in Sayre, PA (LV shops on left) 12:40 - is a NB LV train out of Coxton Yard (maybe within a mile or so north of it) 13:56 - the two trains are at the rock cut near Glen Onoko, PA just north of Jim Thrope PA 16:05 - SB D&H on the other side of that rock cut neat Glen Onoko

Those Baldwins look really modern for the time.

[@TreyBiscoe]

Oh my god, I love this stuff! :D

[@AlikStansberry]

These clips in super 8 sound are quite a treat to view! And the first time I’ve seen those shark nose units on film.

Epic shots!

And to think, this was 50 years ago, already! The dying gasps before Conrail. Too much infrastructure, too little revenue. Something painful had to be done.

My goodness gracious, why can't we ride on old passenger coaches anymore? They would be so damn comfortable and beautiful, much better than the Amfleet coaches on the NEC.

[@varnoshaouphskamania2159]

nice

[@cbalducc]

Is the track still in use?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Most of what's seen here I believe is still in use.

[@JohnPechulis-pn9kv]

May i ask where you acquired the source footage?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

I was tasked with digitizing Todd Miller's collection (of Clear Block Productions fame) after he died in 2010. These were master tapes of films from Bob Wilt copied to Hi8 tape used for Vignettes of the D&H.
