Penn Central (And Early Conrail) Newark, Ohio to Wagner Tower

[@dbhinbuff]

i worked as a brakeman on the panhandle starting in 1970. went from columbus to Pitcairn and Columbus to Conway

[@christianhill9217]

Would you happen to know who ran through mt Vernon to Akron on the old cleaveland Akron Columbus line?

[@christianhill9217]

Did you ever run that route?

I grew up in this area but came along after the Penn Central era. Always wondered what it was like. I went to school near the Panhandle bridge. I used to regularly get in trouble for staring at the trains crossing it as everyone else was going in after recess. Thanks for sharing this.

Love the Panhandle videos, I live near it and love seeing videos of its once busy past

[@garymartz7587]

That's some great content! Thanks.

[@Stevelikestrains]

Anything film/video that has to do with the PENN CENTRAL, I’m going to tune it in and this one’s no exception. Excellent work. Thank you for posting and sharing. 👍👍👍

Wow! Mingo junction tracks look the same, although all those steel mill structures are long gone.

[@clineshaunt]

3:22 That tower operator had an amazing view. Look out the back and see huge blast furnaces and railroad tracks out the front.

[@dannylittle6766]

Cliffhanger at the end. That was a crippled train where the GP30 stopped working, causing it to stall. A helper had to be brought in to push.

Love seeing my home town of Newark in this era, truly a part of America history

[@ericsimmons7716]

18:06 Holy Crap!

[@ericsimmons7716]

The bolts is going to work is way loose "eventually".

[@dannylittle6766]

I guess they missed the memo about the slow order.

[@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont]

1:19 - Nice shot of the "air machine" moving the points! Clunk-Clunk-HISS, indeed! (From a modeler's standpoint, that would be a "twin coil" machine, not a "Tortoise machine".)

[@bdaohio]

12:02 West bound crossing N. Morris St. And East Main street in Newark. Double tracks have been gone for years. Only a single now going through town.

[@northpennvalleysteamrailroad]

Sweet footage!

[@nittbuck1]

The locations at 12:11 and 14:10 are at the old St. Regis paper mill in Coshocton. I miss the train traffic that once rolled through town.

[@bdaohio]

I was just a kid on a bicycle in Newark back in the 70's and we would sit by the tracks for hours watching the Penn Central trains rolling by. It seemed like one came by every half hour or so. I sure do miss the heavy train traffic that used to frequent the panhandle 😢

# 3180, Comes close to stalling! 27:03

[@joeygigliotti5439]

7:39 looks like Licking again

[@bluesboyst]

Great video. I rode over the panhandle in 68 and 69. Was some of this video from Clear Block productions?

[@dannylittle6766]

Yes, I forget which volume, but it was the Panhandle from Newark to Pittsburgh with Bob Sherwood's quirky narration.

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

Yes. Probably part 3 that went to Pittsburgh.

[@Yuhboyluke]

The clip at 11:19 is the road I live on today, it’s o’bannon ave, plus the clips before are down the road from me about 2 minutes I can see from my back yard where these clips take place, it’s completely different today

[@Yuhboyluke]

Clips before are taken from ceader st crossing in Newark,

[@kolejnakolej.1437]

Interesting old video.

[@scottspence847]

when was this?

[@b3j8]

Alco power digging in and smoking up the place! Wasn't healthy, but it sure was impressive to watch!

[@kelvintorrence5994]

love those alcos

[@isaacpangrazio4767]

Will their be another part to this coming soon?

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

I have no more long form Panhandle videos or films at this time.

[@isaacpangrazio4767]

@@RailroadMediaArchive damn okay. These are great!

[@2011Maynard]

Good stuff - would be even better with subtitles saying location...

[@RailroadMediaArchive]

All of the locations that I know are timestamped in the video description that KZbin breaks up into chapters.

[@2011Maynard]

@@RailroadMediaArchive My bad, didn't drop down the comments. Thanks for the quick reply - now back to the video...
