Rodney Peterson's Erie-Lackawanna and New York Central Pt. 2

Jim Kleeman presents Rodney's photography of these two lines from 1963 to 1970. Rodney was a project engineer in the B&O Division Engineers Office in Akron, Ohio. In addition to photographing his beloved B&O, he spent time documenting the E-L and NYC operations from New York to Western Ohio. Included are: Fs, PAs, FAs, Sharks, and Erie-Builts hauling passengers and freight across these two railroads in the 1960s. This video is an encore studio edit, (with Bob Kaplan providing additional commentary), of a Potomac Chapter NRHS program originally presented on June 20th 2023.

I'm in Butler Pennsylvania. Terrace apartments overlooking the tracks. We get many. Average 90 cars. Two locos in front. Two locamotives in the back. 90..92 cars in between. Coal. Petrol. Steel. 6...7 times a day. Sometimes more. Out my high rise window and over the creek they go. Several tracks. Pullman company around the corner. Closed now of course. Bantam Jeep was invented around here too. So every day I sit by my window and enjoy the trains. I'll probably take some more pictures soon. Took the Erie Lackawanna to hs in the 1970's. Short Hills to Madison. The old green cars and rattan seats. Once you get the train bug it never leaves. Summit New Jersey station was cool. Then a train into the city. After 911 My friend Rabi Horn helped the people disembark off the trains in Summit coming in from Manhattan. So those are my best train stories. My window is open now. It's 5am. And I'll here that train horn soon. A few months ago some one walked across the tracks and died. Right out my window. Anyway nice video.
